_Human Bara | [[Rayburton Family]] | [[Mezro]]_

Famed explorer from [[Cormyr]] who became the only non-[[Tabaxi]] member of the *barae* — the seven immortal paladins sworn to protect the holy city of [[Mezro]] in [[Chult]]. Father to [[Alisanda Rayburton]]. He found peace in [[Chult]] around 172 DR after traveling there from the Heartlands, and regrets the "thoughtless condemnations" in his earlier writings. He is presumed still in [[Mezro]]'s pocket dimension with the hidden city.

A weathered human explorer who carries the dignity of one chosen by [[Ubtao]], and the bearing of someone who found true peace after a lifetime of wandering.
