Description

Zif is involved in many toasts offered up at parties, stories of treasures, and tales of surprising luck. Since he was a human, tales about him are easy to find among men and halflings. He is described as a man with short, wavy, brown hair and a goatee. His skin is olive and his eyes are a different color in every story. As a man, he always carried around his family's rapier, now known as the Blade of Zif, and it's still believed to be in the world. His disposition is jovial and he enjoys a good laugh (at another's expense if possible). Tales say he still visits the world under the guise of a Halfling with good looks brandishing a human rapier.
