Eswyn remembers little of his own past, and having found a home on Thain he isn't particularly interested in finding out. What little he does remember of his childhood is not very pleasant and he will never talk about it.

He does remember being washed up on the island of Thain one stormy night when he was still quite young, and he realises that his association with Loviatar dates from before his arrival on the Island. He enjoys the effects of pain, in himself as much as others, and will sometimes ask questions about how people feel, if he notices them suffering for one reason or another.

He loves the taste of mushrooms and tries to propagate his favourite ones in as many places as he can around the island. He prefers woodland and forest to any other kind of place and he dislikes places made of stone, though he will tolerate even caves and underground places if he has a good reason to go there. He is terrified of heights and has a number of ways to cope with them.

He is very polite, but the politeness is his way of covering up his clumsiness and habit of taking things literally. He listens more than he speaks, especially when he's in a crowd .. he doesn't trust strangers at all. In relaxed company he can be fairly cruel and callous and in any case he'll rarely help someone in trouble unless he knows them. However, he is interested in pain, not death, and will sometimes come to another's aid if it will result in prolonged pain rather than death.

He's an excellent shot with a bow - and is happy to show this off. He also knows a good deal of magic, but he doesn't really like showing this off - he doesn't always use it if there are strangers around. He knows his magic is connected to his emotions and feelings, and his use of it is not entirely conscious, though as he's grown he's learned to control it much better.
