Dafydd grew up in a small elven village in the forest named Elenweth.  Not far from the larger city of Hope it isn't very big, only being home to between 100 and 150 elves.  The Only child of a metalworker he grew up working around a forge so he was familiar with weapons from a very young age.  Growing restless he wanted to explore new opportunities in the world and by the time he turned 17 he decided to leave home and seek his fortune in the big city. 

Quickly finding temporary apprenticeship work with a blacksmith Dafydd settled into the crowded life in the larger town.  Earning enough to pay for food and board he saved the rest of his money with plans to use it when he found his true calling.  He considered seafaring as a pursuit with much travel and exploring, but decided that joining the military as a soldier would be more fulfilling to his skills and aspirations.  A little more than a year after arriving in Hope he petitioned and was allowed to join the local military and began training. 

Not soon after beginning in the military school, Dafydd fell in with a dragonborn youth named Vyrdaan.  Finding some sort of common link in battle they became fast friends throughout the next few years of tutelage in war.  Determining he wanted to be something a bit more than just the usual rank and file soldier he opted for the same officer training that Vyrdaan was required to take as part of requirements to lead his family guard.  4 years had passed and Vyrdaan had to return to his heritage home among the ranks of his family, prematurely ending his training.  Dafydd opted to follow him. 

Pulling some strings Vyrdaan quickly instated Dafydd as his 2nd in command of the unit he was personally put in charge of, the Cobalt Guard.  Time moved on but after 3 years internal strife and turmoil faced the pair as Vyrdaan decided to desert the unit after the discovery of a dirty secret of his father's.  He felt it best to leave everything and go south out of the city.  Dafydd didn't fully understand the situation but followed him anyway.  Using some contacts Vyrdaan had with a few less savory people he was able to procure a method of smuggling the both of them into Southport without his family being able to track them down.

Standing tall and lanky he seems to stare off into the distance a lot, indifferent to what is going on around him.  Dark brown eyes seem unfocused but actually try to take in everything from the corners of his vision.  Black hair cut short in a military style does not conceal his obvious elven heritage with his pointed ears.  A tattoo of a cobalt colored scale is on his upper right arm.  Typically he keeps it hidden underneath his armor or clothing but if his membership in the Cobalt Guard is questioned he won't hesitate to reveal the crest.
