Stallman Richard

"There's something comforting about Stallman's intransigence. Win or lose, Stallman will never give up. He'll be the stubbornest mule on the farm until the day he dies. Call it fixity of purpose, or just plain cussedness, his single-minded commitment and brutal honesty are refreshing in a world of spin-meisters and multimillion-goldpieces marketing campaigns."

Appearance:
Stallman is a rather old human but despite his age he is in top form. He has shaggy brown hair a grey beard. He is clad in rather heavy armor and a sword is hanging by his side a shield strapped to his back. He walks around upright seeming not at all hindered by his armor or his old age.

Personality:
Stallman values freedom above all. Everyone should have access to education and all sorts of information. He can't stand the powerful oppressing the weak and or manipulating them. He is usually calm tempered but stubborn and ready to defend his views and destroy those how want evil.

Early life:
Stallman is an rather old Human Paladin. He was born into a corrupt city controlled by powerful individuals and factions that exploited the cities workers with harsh patent laws that requiring those to hand over a large amount of their revenue.

As a young boy he often sneaked into the great library of the city, which regular citizens were banned from entering. Not being happy with the status-quo he decided that he needed to act. He shared his Ideas for a better city via leaflets and by holding speeches in the marketplace. With enough supporters he eventually confronted the mayor and persuaded him to lower the patent fees and give all citizens access to the library.
