Marceline the Silent

Marceline the Silent was a tiefling bard who was a member of the Fearless Founders during the Demon Wars. She was mute for her entire life, but had genius musicianship. She always carried around a red axe-shaped bass guitar with her, and when she played, her playing was so expressive and detailed that she was able to communicate her thoughts and feelings to other people. After the Demon Wars, Marceline helped the Bloody Bassooon Bards defeat the demon Mammon and became a board member in the Groonar University for Bards. However, she was disappointed in the rigorous and unbending teaching standards of Groonar, and vacated her board seat in order to start the much more lax Bards of Freedom.
