In Memoram

In the Braenlo region of my world, there's a court scribe/mage in one of the dwarven kingdoms named Geoffrei Marcheant. Though a mage he spends his free time out in the wilderness hiking, fishing, and hunting. Basically a modern day outdoorsman. A quote the character has used goes like this: "This," while gesturing to his court garb, "is what I do. That," he says while pointing to a lovingly cared for hunting bow, "is who I am."

This character is a tribute to my dad who passed away from cancer summer of 2012. Does anyone else have npcs in your games that serve as tributes to those lost in real life?
