Michael was born and raised in Homestead. He currently lives with Alexander Wolf and Jennifer Lee in a small house near the edge of town. His parents are Arthur and Felicity Malone. His mother left town with a traveling merchant when he was a teen. His father still lives in town; he's the tax collector.

Michael is self taught. He spends time reading when watching the sheep. He has a natural gift for magic, although he hasn't yet had an opportunity to express it.

Michael's current occupation is as a shepherd; he got the job when the old shepherd died. Before that he was a sheep shearer and farm hand. He works for Bruce the Bruce, in that Bruce owns the sheep (and pays the Lord his share). His closest people are Wolf and Jenny and the sheepdog Hal. He doesn't have any enemies yet; he's on mostly friendly terms with the rest of the townspeople.

Regarding Michael's familiarity with magic, he can do some basic spells, and he's seen clerical magic when they tried to heal then did funeral rights for the old shepherd (who everyone just called Shep). He knows his magic is different. The merchant his mother left with had a mage in his caravan. Arthur, Michael's dad, is distrustful of magic.

Likes: Wolf and Jenny. Dogs. Sheep. Being outdoors.

Hobbies: Reading. Spinning and knitting sheep wool. Playing the Lute.

Morals: be kind to others unless they are trying to hurt you or your sheep or the village. Believes in the gods but doesn't have a particular favorite.

Dislikes: Crowds, mean people. The merchant his mom left with.

Curious: About the world; he asks Jenny to tell him stories about the other places and people she encounters, although he's a bit nervous about it.
