| Residence | Bree. |
| Kinship | None. |
| Outward Appearance | Thornweed has an appearance that matches his personality well.He is extremely pale - almost completely white. Although he is relatively young, there is no hair on his head. Whether his hair was shaven off, never grew in the first place or fell out in rejection of his wretchedness is a mystery. The only apparent hair on his body is two extremely thick, bushy and black eyebrows that resemble hairy slugs. His nose is very big and crooked. Overall he is an extremely ugly and gaunt fellow. Whilst Bree-landers are shorter than other Men, Thornweed is shorter still. His build is small and his arms are weak - a child could likely do more harm, by the looks of it. His clothes are ragged, consisting of a muddy and battered tunic, old leather boots and a torn grey cape. |

Background
Born to an unknown father and a drunkard mother, Thornweed was raised among filth and bitterness - so that is what he became. From a young age he mixed with the 'wrong crowd' and was frequently involved in some manner of criminal activity. A coward and a weakling, Thornweed is the type of fellow who only harms someone if they are pinned down and helpless.
He has never worked an honest day in his life. If he is hungry, then he will simply steal food from a nearby farm. Although he thinks of himself as an established and notorious criminal, his crimes are so petty that he is merely an inconvenience to the community rather than a threat. Indeed, during the winter when it is cold outside, Thornweed would simply commit a pathetic crime in order to be arrest - and thus enjoy the warmth of a jail cell.
Whilst many criminals can be distinguished between 'brains' and 'brawn', Thornweed is neither. He is nicknamed 'The Skunk'.
