Personality: Kieri Phelan shows up in the books as an adult. I'm taking him from about 40 years before that. There are canon things about what he was like as a child and what aspects he had hidden away that helped him become the man he did.
His elven cousins say that he, at this age, was full of fear with a core of bitter anger. It takes him many years to fully conquer the anger inside of him, but the fear he mostly overcomes quickly. Kieri can be easily frightened by an adult's anger, especially if it's directed at him. He's learned to expect to be beaten, or worse, and knows there's nothing he can do to stop it. Even with that, he's not a coward. He'll take beating after beating, yes, but only until he learns that he can hit back. Once he learns that, he'll fight until one of them is out cold.
The fear of what an adult will do to him is the only fear he has. Aside from that, he's fearless. Once he learns he can fight back, he'll do even that without any fear. He'll dare anything and do just about anything to prove himself and impress people. While he never starts up into mischief, he does become so certain of himself that he never thinks he'll lose a fight. He isn't quarrelsome and won't start a fight, but he will by gods finish it. He'll push boundaries and push boundaries until he's attacked, and then he'll fight back.
He has a deep thirst for knowledge and will learn anything that is presented to him. He doesn't rightly know how to read yet, but once he learns, he will be reading everything and anything he can get. As an adult, Kieri is fiercely determined. Once he wants something and has a goal, nothing stops him from gaining it.
He's exceptionally loyal and once someone had earned his loyalty, he will do anything for them, all they need do is ask. Even as an adult, he will spend a percentage of his earnings from a campaign to have magical cures available to his cohorts so that people who would die don't necessarily. He can't use them on everyone, but those he can, he does.
Even as an adult he still has that seed of anger, but from what the Halverics say of Kieri as a child, he never really gives into it. The most he really does is push people into attacking him and then beating them soundly (after he learns he can fight back, anyway). It does lead him to not think things through sometimes and take unnecessary risks.
Abilities: He can do all manner of manual labor that would exist in medieval times. Chop wood, clean, deal with kills (animal kinds). He can also track and is quite capable of surviving on his own in whatever conditions he needs to.
He has elven skills and powers (called taig-sense), but he has no knowledge of them and he has no idea how to access them. Since he doesn't know that he is half-elven, he wouldn't even know to try.
