Fighter's Personality:
A wanderlust-taken, happy-go-lucky gambler of sometimes-questionable morals. Spades is affable, plain-spoken, laidback, and generally easy-going. However, he can be quick to anger in the right circumstances. He loves a good wager, and is loathe to turn one down.

Weapon-fighting: Knife-fighting and fencing.
Magic: Elementalist.

Fighter's History/Life Story:
Spades was raised to be a priest of Ysalder, god of healing, from a young age, being the third son and middle child of a duke. When he was fourteen, he learned the joys of gambling, poker especially, and found that regardless of who he was playing, he won nearly ever game he played (not knowing, of course, that the blood of the Daemonlord Sammael flowed much more strongly in his veins than in those of his ancestors and siblings, which was the cause of his preternatural luck). At sixteen, his father discovered his son’s addiction, and promptly disowned him. Nine years later, after making a name for himself as one of the most famous gamblers in the kingdom, he fell in with four other adventurers, and group had themselves officially recorded in the Roll of Bravos as the Pack known, simply, as “The Five”. After some time with the group, he moved on, visiting other worlds and eventually coming to reside, for a time, on Earth with his aunt and uncle, Julia and Theodore Diggers, and their daughters, and since has found himself thrown into various dangerous situations and adventures of often-epic proportions.
