History
History: This halfling of good fortune arrived upriver from the Shires 50 years ago as an assistant to a long-since departed Thyatian merchant. Benji decided that he liked what he saw of the small halfling community in town and stayed. Since then, his interest in correspondence and information-gathering has allowed him to rise to an important position in the city. For the same talents, he has been named the official Ambassador from the Five Shires, although he has not set foot in his home country for half a century.
Personality
Personality: Benji is studious, truthful, and wordy. He is also a bit of a gossip, eager to spread the latest facts garnered from strange corners of Alfheim Town and beyond.
Appearance
Appearance: Benji is a halfling of medium height and appropriate huge girth for his age.

DMing Notes: Naturally, this is where you come to find the facts. Adventurers who have read the news-posters on his walls are free to ask Benji what else he knows on a topic. Once in a while, the halfling gentleman will have a small job of an adventurer – “Just go to the Alphatian Embassy and ask them about…” or something else equally safe and honest. Benji’s “little favors” often cause even prudent adventurers to get into trouble.

Highshire Halflings prefer Fighter (main) and Rogue (secondary) as their match.
