Born deformed the Frogboy is a dimwitted, hunchbacked refugee from the court of a dethroned king. The kindly king and his daughter had taken him in and given him a job as the court jester, for which he was eternally grateful.
Since escaping the burning castle he vowed that one day he would find the bandit lord that overthrew his lord and caused the princess Amber to go into hiding.
He spends most of the time on the road looking for the princess and just trying to survive as most civilized areas do not welcome him. He is loyal to the death to those who are kind to him and holds a grudge with the same seriousness with those who are not. He gets by financially by doing odd jobs in addition to doing street shows (The dance of the Frogboy... a combination jig and dagger juggling)
Most of his "education" has occurred in the back alleys and taverns of Taladon and Wildreven. Having found a group of trustworthy companions he knows that he can come out of his shell a little bit.
He is usually unphased at just about any of the creatures that he has ever come against as he realizes the things that people should be afraid of come from within us all.
The Frogboy's skills sharpen as the group approaches their ultimate goal, destroying the evil and magics of the cult. Something has changed in him recently. It's hard to put a finger on, but it has to do how he approaches his craft. Before... his actions were clumsy.... seemingly guided by only his own need for self preservation... now it is different. Something deeper burns within... a seriousness... a purpose... a need to ensure that others do not have to know the pain that he has felt.
Just when you think you notice something different about him, you catch him trying to figure out what sort of creature one of his boogers looks like and you realize that underneath it all, it's still the same Melor.
