Oster Golth, in a brief look, seems to be a normal folk of Bree, but on his scars shows a path of violence and death that he followed and, as far as people can see, has retired for quite a time. His story is actually known for some people that still leaves his mark on Bree, and as far as they say, Oster wasn't quite a normal (or even sane) man, usually involved in tortuous relationships.

For such mistakes, Oster decided to retire of his old life and pass a moment of his life simply away of society, living in the Dunlands for a few years, gathering the knowledge of the people as forgiving himself for his sins. One day, he came back to Bree after realizing that such wicked sensation that habits his mind won't ever dissapear again, and the most sane thing he could do is to channel such energy in mundane activities and the art of writting and poetry, as his seek of knowledge started to grow as his sensability and curiosity rose. 

Nowadays he seems to be occupied in the adaption of one of the stories that he managed to adapt in common language: The Tale of the Leathered Warrio and the Lone Wolf. He usually can be found in Breetown inside the Prancing Pony, but he usually retires to his house in order to write peacefully.
