History

Holland Wellhouse is the second son of a middle-class merchant family in the city of Selgaunt in Realmspace. He always was a smart boy and through a chance encounter learned that he had magical potential. Holland studied for many years and eventually completed his apprenticeship and immediately joined in the forming of an adventuring group called the Red Hands. The Red Hands had a map that Holland helped translate that led them to unknown treasures in some nearby mountains.

It is clear that Holland was in some position of authority within this adventuring group but he changes the subject when questions are asked about it. Holland is sketchy about what happened, but with the few details that he does talk about it is seems that several, if not all, of the other members of the Red Hands were slain by treachery and Holland received a wound that turned his hair, in a thin stripe, to an aged silver.

Shortly after recovering, Holland joined a spelljamming vessel as an apprentice helmsman. He has been traveling the stars for several years looking for a man named Milken. During his time aboard spelljamming ships he has become quite proficient in the use of a Helm as well as in navigation. Additionally he has had the time to dabble in culinary pursuits, something that he has enjoyed as something of a hobby since childhood. Holland has been on Bral for the past several months working periodically until he landed his recent job as a helmsman on the Flowfish.

Description

Holland is a few inches shy of six feet tall. He has raven black hair with a thin silver streak running through the center starting at his forehead and traveling back. The streak, rather than detracting, gives him more of a distinguished look. His eyes are a piercing gray. He is considered handsome by some and quite handsome by others. He himself doesn't realize the impression that his smile has upon females and tends to blush quite easily. He only wears black clothing for reasons that he doesn't discuss.

Personality

A founding member of the Company, Holland has found himself more and more slipping into the role of Captain and Spokesman, something he is visibly uncomfortable with. Holland has a deep hatred of oath breakers and turncoats in general and pirates in specific.

Latest Update

Holland was kidnapped by Herminard, an assassin working for an old foe of his called Milken, in Book 5, Chapter 5. Since then, Holland had one of his hands lopped off and was to be sold into slavery. The whole encounter was a trap for the rest of the COSS but the trap was foiled. The COSS rescued Holland and dispatched one of their major foes.
