Introducing the Wanderers (Bosmer)

Peabody Pinewood
Basim "Peabody" Pinewood is no stranger to the ways of the Pact, in that his father and mother were entirely embedded in the ways of the Green. However, the strict rules of his kin never caught on. At a young age Basim was sent to serve a Spinner by his father, just as he had been, in hopes to have him develop a more rigid understanding and belief in Y'ffre's ways. Unfortunately, this slightly back fired as the easily influenced Bosmer fell on to the book of Lorkhaj, the trickster-diety, and Nocturnal, the night mistress. As he studied the old text he became as deceitful as he was charming.

Decades later Basim was well versed in the Pact as well as his mischievous beliefs and suggested to the old Spinner he make a pilgrimage, in the name of the Green Pact of course. However, this "pilgrimage" was actually a plan of escape, as Basim wanted nothing more than to find his way into the courts of the Nightingales.  

So at this point you're probably wondering "Why Peabody, where'd that come from?"

 Along his travels he came by a group of wanderers, he snuck up attempting to be unseen like a character in the shadowy tales he had read, but he was seen. The wanderers were a group of Khajiit, Basim may be nimble, but to assume he would make it past their sharp gaze was foolish. Luckily, the Khajiit were a merry group and invited Basim to join in there imbibing of ale, lavish meal, and story telling. However, one of the Khajiit could not move past Basim's stature and began to refer to him as Pea'Body. Through their talks of travel it was made apparent that this collective of Khajiit were the type that knew how to acquire various commodities and goods. They later invited their new found Pea'body to join them on there travels and there you have it. Basim was never a fan of his birth name and adopted his new alias quickly. Throughout the years he traveled Tameriel from one end to the other learning slight of hand and how to enter any door.

As he aged into adulthood (a ripe 65 years of age) he returned to Valenwood a different Mer. As of today, Peabody may be seen wandering the Elden Root or continuing his search for the shadowy halls of Nocturnal with a full quiver and a sharp-eye. However, if you see him be aware of your pockets or purses as he may not be malicious, but he does prefer the contents of others pockets more than his own.
