Personality:

Izel is a man who has much more regrets than he appears to have.. His large handsome figure exudes confidence and trust making him rather dependable in physical situations, but his smile only hide his thoughts and feelings he has with his extroverted nature. He’s not willing to share his past with others, fearful that their thoughts of him will change only judging him off one mistake he made in the past. He rather not distant himself from others if he must, but he does keep a boundary that will not cross due to his past crime.

He is pretty much inconsistent, though he has consistent values like about morals and justice. His behaviors may rapid swing from one to the other, left and right, depending on his mood. Izel typically ignores his own judgement and rationality in favor for how he feels. However he has been learning to restrain his inner conflicts dealing with anger at times, but not managing to control it fully. And even when he does try to express frustration in a calm manner, he turns out to be rather illogical or can be rash in his actions and destructive behavior, like cursing and swearing or breaking objects or injuring himself in the process.

The man does have a strong sense of loyalty especially to his family. Izel can be sympathetic and concerned for others who care about him, willing to go out of his way to help those he cherishes even doing things he dislikes because of it like work. He is protective and can be seen as almost possessive due to his attachment to his those he love.

History:

Izel was born in the barley wheat fields of Ta’am, a son of a fabric weaver mother and a farmer father and the middle child of five children, the second to the youngest. Young Izel basically grew up taking care of his father’s crops and lugging around his mother’s goods with his elder brothers, for his parents to hand over to trading merchants. However, Izel was never really fond of the mundane work. He tended to purposely skip his chores and go play with other village friends by venturing out in the plains. However, he was usually caught by his eldest brother whenever out on his adventures, and their father would scold him for not doing his work. He was punished by being forced to eat less and work more the next day if he did something wrong. For Izel, having a prosperous family was having a large one with multiple children where they can help with work and feed you, but that only made him more disinterested in having a family -- more mouths to feed and more Quorh that he’d have to get, he thought. However he couldn't disobey or rebel against his family as he cherished them. Particularly his mother and his sisters as he never really wanted them to take on difficult tasks or such hardship, wanting them to be well off and well fed despite the efforts needed to make ends meet.

It was during late teens when he found out his younger sister had been harassed by by a village boy a bit older than her. Izel was wandering around, looking for his baby sister who had stayed out too late, and found a boy sexually assaulting his sister in the middle of nowhere. Izel couldn’t take it, becoming livid at the sight. He attacked the younger male with his sickle, pummeling the kid to the ground, and slashing the boy's skin with large cuts to protect his sibling. But, Izel's rage took over him and he couldn't control it, killing the young adolescent as a result. Izel's arm was scarred due to the village boy’s attempt to retaliate. But not only that, Izel's sister’s memory had already been tainted by the murder she witnessed before her eyes and her innocent pure body almost tainted by the monster of a man. She couldn't look at her older brother the same way, and Izel couldn't look at himself the same way either. Izel wasn't the brother in her eyes, and he no longer could see himself as one. Teenage Izel had began painting his arm in a green band to cover up the scar that was left on his body as an attempt to cover up the sin he had committed that night. The Ta’am villagers had found the village boy's corpse a few days later in those very same plains where he was murdered after searching for him. But they have deemed the boy was killed by a monster-like predator because of the sharp marks and cuts on the body. After concluding thus, the villagers never looked further into the situation or realized the young villager was murdered by Izel.

Izel grew up, thinking, he should do something more with his life other than just transporting goods or gathering crops like a farmer. He should be a warrior or a guard. But, he knew that was rather pointless, as he would never be accepted by the society due to his past wrongdoing. But his current life was a mess; he couldn’t even be the model-like brother he should have been. There was only Quorh that was left for him, which for some reason he hated. His life had to be surrounded by security rather than happiness. After all, he couldn't find that happiness -- he wasn't allowed to. But in the end, he only brought insecurity to his own family. He could feel their anxiousness due to his sudden distant yet irregular behavior. But it was to protect them and hide his faults from them.

He had to get away. So when he was offered the opportunity to go live in the city along with his other villager friends, as there was more work to found in the large cities unlike in the village, he took it. One by one, his friends left to become sailors of Sargas, he on the other hand chose to work in Aldebaran, for their carefree nature and lifestyle was more appealing to him. They were so friendly, why would he want to leave? The people cared for his well-being even when he was just freeloading off of them and couldn't make ends meet. It was much different than how he lived with his family in Ta’am, as the Aldebarans took care of each other with care and affection, that seemed to rub off on him. He adored the familial warm affection there that existed among people, even though he knew he shouldn’t be attached to it. But he had a new life there, he was now someone else with a clean slate and record; he wouldn't have to cause trouble to his family; he was only Izel, the city porter.

Additional Info:

His current occupation is a transporter of goods, he does this by rowing his boat down the river in Aldebaran. He typically avoids doing farm work as he is trying to be watchful and prevent himself from hurting other with sharp objects when angered. But besides from delivering cargo, he can carry passengers on his boat and guide them towards their destination
You probably can see him sleeping in his boat going down the river. But then again this is the probably the one of the most effective anger management skill he taught himself aka sleep when he’s angry, besides forcing himself to work.
Apparently when he first visited Aldebaran, he was caught staring at a woman’s breasts. It was rather embarrassing as she was married, but he couldn’t help look since she was rather pretty. He was scolded for being rather indecent, so it’s something he’d rather not remember and will stay wary of.
He can fight, as he was forced to guard his family’s farm when he was young from predators that could eat his family’s crops.
He eats meat like fish, which is probably why he is not truly keen on living in Aldebaran for the rest of his life due to their vegetarian diet.
When Izel was young, he had dreams of exploring the world and being a heroic warrior. Probably one of his biggest regrets that he couldn’t partake in fulfilling his dream.
He’s trying to teach himself some anger management skills, but well he has learned to smile even when angered though it’s hard to contain his body language, so whenever he’s angry he vents out in private.
