He also wears knee high grey or brown boots, and he has a gold and ruby bangle on his left wrist. He carries a sword similar to a katana around with him, usually strapped to his back around his chest and shoulders.
He is usually found riding around on a dark colored gryphon, which he has had for his entire life, or at least as long as he can remember.

Personality
Ellion is a bit of a loner. He likes to spend most of his time exploring the realm. He would rather sleep in a tree somewhere than spend time in an inn. He is charming and friendly when he has to be, but most of the time he's the type of person that will smile and make polite conversation while his hand is digging skillfully in your pocket to steal your wallet.
While he's not very book smart, he is very street smart, has more common sense than anyone really needs, and is a rather good survivalist. He's very skilled at living off the land, and often only comes to town when he needs to sell skins, bones, or anything else that he comes across while out in the wilderness.
Ellion can be sarcastic as all hell when he wants to be. Most of the time though, he's blunt. About everything. If he doesn't like you, you'll know it. He's honest, even brutally so, but it's not like he wants any friends. He's usually fairly quiet and observant around people, and only ever really talks if he's being talked to, or if he really just needs to put in his two sense.
It's not like he goes out of his way to be mean to others or anything though, quite the opposite really. If there's a situation where he needs to be a hero, then he'll jump in and help save the day, as he hates tosee other people being bullied or hurt in some sort of way. He may ask forsome kind ofcompensation if he really throws himself inthe way of something harmful though.
History
Ellion is a bastard. He knows who his father is, but he doesn't care. He never was brought up in that life. When he was just a little one, probably four or five or so, he was presented with a baby gryphon, and he cherished the creature. They'd get into all sorts of trouble together. It was probably the only gift he ever received that told the world just what his heritage was. But it wasn't like he or his mother ever asked for anything from the royal family.
When he was fifteen or so, he decided he was going to leave home. His mother was very upset by this, but at the same time, she was proud of her son for making such decisions about his life, always urging him to follow the wind wherever it might take him. He had always been a flighty boy.
So, he said his goodbyes, and took to the skies. He lived out most of his life following small tribes, or other people that lived in the wilderness. For whatever reason, it called to him. He's had a series of mishaps in his time in the wild, almost lost his life a few times, but each time he was seriously injured or poisoned, or anything too terrible, his gryphon would haul him up and carry him home, where his mother would nurse him back to health.
And now, almost ten years later, he's still living his life out in the wilderness for the most part. Hestill goes back to his mother every now and then, bringing her whatever money he gets from selling his goods, it's not like he has much need for it, after all.
