Battle Skald Race: Elf | Class: Bard, Rogue, Warrior | Size: Small | Rarity: Rare Artwork: A tough, yet handsome, male elf is adeptly striking a foe with dual daggers. He wears a feathered hat and carries a lyre on his back. The daggers he uses seem to be dipped in some type of indefinite poison or acid.

This champion is a battle-ready bard. He doesn't have high damage but can strike fast while aiding his allies. He can also frequently cleanse allies from a limited set of negative conditions (i.e. Charmed, Confused, Frightened, and Distracted). His price may be a little high for what he does but he certainly would be useful if kept alive.
With a few adjustments to the name, lore, artwork, and ability set, this champion could be made to fit into the developing Aurora theme...
