Aristole was a fixture around Feyintir, where he appeared once a month to trade in furs and pelts he had gathered while hunting kobolds in the Feyindar Forest. The man was a seasoned ranger, quite at ease in the forest, and he hunted kobolds simply because they were the prevalent nuisance in his neck of the woods.

The ranger went about only lightly armoured, for his chosen foes caused little damage, but he still prefered to fight by ranged weapon than in direct combat. He developed a budding relationship with House Riverine, for he had been aided by and aided Riverine agents and he taught Vaden Crowfeeder some of his ranger craft.

Aristole perished in Calm N.S. 24 in a fight against a band of goblins and worgs in the Feyindir Forest.
