Shivwaram Singh

A young man from the Garden, and close follower of Calder Fox. Shivwaram has always been something of a mystery. He doesn't reveal much of what he thinks, nor does he often speak. But at heart you know he is cruel and malicious; he doesn't often reveal it, and the adults of the Garden aren't very aware of it. But you've felt it all too often.

Shivwaram Singh left the Garden with Calder Fox and the rest of his gang.

Physical Description
Shivwaram Singh is average height and has a sinewy build. Of apparent East Indian descent, he has dark skin and darker eyes that reveal little. He moves with speed and precision and usually dresses in dark, loose clothing.

History
Shivwaram's mother arrived at the Garden in winter, alone and pregnant. The residents of the Garden sheltered her, and she gave birth to Shivwaram two months later. She never said who the father was, but some suspected rape. Shivwaram's mother committed suicide fifteen months after arriving in the Garden.

John Gardiner and the rest of the Garden weren't about to let an abandoned infant go uncared for, but young Shivwaram was a difficult child to love. He was by turns wild and dangerous, or sullen and unresponsive. His wildness calmed over the years, but he never became approachable, and his only companion was Calder Fox, who befriended Shivwaram for his own purposes.

Under Calder's guidance, Shivwaram focused his worst instincts. If you got on Calder's bad side, it was Shiv who would be waiting for you in the dark. You never were able to convince the adults of who gave you the cuts, because Calder was always there with a disarming smile. You'll never forget the time you came to your secret clubhouse in the woods only to find it filled with skinned, dead animals and stinking entrails.

Known and Supposed Capabilities
Shivwaram Singh may not be physically imposing, but he's not one to be underestimated. He's never without a knife, and he's one of the best marksmen in the Garden.
