Balan came to the group as the indentured servant of the elf Fryx. He earned his freedom when he achieved 1st level, and is actively pursuing the cause of good, law, and right.

After cheating death no less than four times in his brief career, Balan renounced the Warhammer of Upan in order to re-embrace Gorhan and receive a Vitality spell from his priest Rory MacIntyre, thus restoring his Stamina to its original power of a ‘7’.
