Appearance: Sigurd is a large Galka and his black fur is starting to take on a tingle of gray in places. He's almost never seen without a smile.

Personality:

A jolly Galka Snake is very happy. A performer at heart he rarely ever isn¡'t performing. Even having drinks with friends he'll often entertain with a card trick or a story or two.

Background:

From the day he was reincarnated in the Far East, with his ancestral name of Sigurd, this Galka would learn the struggle he faced in his most recent lives. Sigurd decided, instead of getting angry or disgruntled, as many Galka seemed to, he would instead make this life joyful and help those around him.

Young Sigurd joined a Monastary and trained in Martial Arts. His quickness, for one so large impressed the Monks and he was nicknamed "Striking Snake" in their native language. He enjoyed the rigourous training, helping others, and their peaceful demeanor but he found that he couldn't throw off his desires to enjoy what life outside there had to offer.

When a small circus came through the local village Sigurd found himself fastinated by the lights, colors and joy surrounding the performers and asked to join. They let him put together an act using Martial Arts and helped him make it entertaining. Young Sigurd was a hit and he integrated well into the small group. He became friend with an Elvaan Fire Eater named Aliba that hailed from Al Zhabi and together with him left for that continent to start their own circus.

The circus was moderately successful but they found with all the Puppet Masters already performing it didn't completely take off. His partner quit and when the way opened up to the Middlelands Sigurd decided to move his operation there.

Thus he arrived in Mindarta, with nothing more than a trunk containing an old, broken automaton, a few props and a a few changes of clothes and Imperial curency to fund opening his new circus.

The show has had a good start, though he still seeks performers, happy to make a little on the side with his glib tongue as a source of information.
