"You are a Bard, A proud member of the Bard's Guild of Pathoris and the probably the last of your kind. Once, your fellow bards livened up and brought much music and life to the halls of many kings and nobles, singing grand epics of heroes from ages long past. When D'sparil arrived, your guild's luck changed for the worst. D'sparil and his minions hunted down and persecuted members of your guild due to his own hatred of Bardic songs. You now seek to avenge your fallen guild and guild members by destroying D'sparil and his minions. You last heard that there might be a way to enter D'sparil's realm somewhere in the City of the Damned. Armed with only your trusty Dragonwand and your years of experience you head off to the City of the Damned with a grim determination"
So here's the lowdown on our roughly sixty year old bard
- For one he's not quite as fast as Corvus, owing to the fact that he's Sixty years old and time has not been kind to him, Infact he can't sing as well as he used to
- ..But he has retain his years of experience entertaining people with his singing (That he can no longer do) and his Acrobatics, Meaning that he can jump higher than Corvus
- He also starts with 120 HP rather than 100 HP to compensate for his slower moving speed
- The Dragonclaw has been replaced with the Toxic Potion from HeXen, which will prove to be a godsend for him since he can't quite outrun his enemies but he can make 'em keel over by the sheer toxicity of the potion
- The Bard starts out with the aforementioned Dragon Wand, When unpowered it is functionally similar to the Shotgun from Doom. but when a Tome of Power is used, The Dragon Wand fires faster and has a SSG like spread
- The Sword replaces the Gauntlets of the Necromancer. When unpowered it's range is rather close and does mediocre damage. apply a Tome of Power to it and it's range is increased by one and half and it's damage is tripled
- Ah yes, I almost forgot to mention the fists. This weapon is not affected by the Tome of Power but it has a chance of doing a rather powerful right hook once every four strikes
- And last but not least is the Bow of the Northern Hunter, Replacing the Crossbow. This Bow, while it does not fire as many projectiles as the Crossbow makes up for it by firing stronger arrows. When powered by a Tome, It's damage is doubled and it's arrows have a chance of freezing your opponent solid
- The Bard now has a rather powerful new staff. D'sparil is shitting bricks over this one!

On a related note, The bard still needs fitting sounds effects for him.
