== Personality ==
== Personality ==
Despite being a formidable rival in combat, he shows compassion and righteousness to allies and friends and sometimes remorse in the death of his enemies. Despite his high rank and his reputation as a powerful healer, is capable of honesty when issues at hand are beyond his capacities. He is also shown to have no favoritism, this being evident when the player returns from the goblin camp and finds him reprimanding [[Kagha]], his second-in-command, because of her actions.
Despite his tenacity in combat, Halsin is a gentle, honest elf, and treasures the sancity and beauty of nature. Though a powerful healer with a lofty title, Halsin is humble and cooperative.

Halsin can be found at the prisons of the [[Shattered Sanctum]], being held hostage and harassed by goblins nearby. [[Nettie]] will request the player to find him in order to be helped with the [[Tadpole]]. The player can either decide to join the goblins or release him.


If released, he'll ask the player to defeat the rest of the goblin leaders and offer his help, but warn them that in his [[Wild Shape]] he loses control of himself and could start attacking everyone.
Halsin can be found in the [[Worg Pens]] within the [[Shattered Sanctum]], held hostage and harassed by nearby goblins. [[Nettie]] will request the player to find him in order to be helped with the [[Tadpole]]. The player can either decide to join the goblins or release him.


Regardless of the player accepting his help or not, he is grateful for the player's help on defeating the goblins. He will confess that he cannot actually help them, but he knows a place where the tadpole could be removed, and will ask them to accompany him to the Grove. He will later join the party and tell the player their next destination should be [[Moonrise Towers]].
If released, Halsin offers to help the party in curing their Tadpole problem, but first asks the player to [[Defeat the Goblins|defeat the goblin leaders]]. He starts the fight [[Wild Shape|Wild Shaped]], unable to hide or take other discreet actions, but can be returned to human form at will.
 
If the player chooses to help Halsin defeat the goblins, he will return to the Emerald Grove. Once there, he will confess that though he cannot cure them, he knows of a place where the tadpole could be removed. Providing leads on the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Halsin offers to accompany the party on their way to [[Moonrise Towers]], so that he might lift the curse afflicting the area.
