Ross is a scholar.
In 1270, he was at Shassar Sea, seeking to learn about the history of a shipwreck in the Windswept Sands.[1]
Later, he investigated Bilefen, seeking to learn about the ancient people that had once inhabited the island. While investigating pictograms on an old statue, he came across the Shard-seeker, and asked them to create swords and staves to help him learn about the civilization's rites. Upon delivery of the weapons, Ross raised the weapons and awakened the statue in front of him. It mentioned "Valostre," and Ross pondered it could be an ancient name for the island, or the name of the arena located nearby.
Ross pestered the statue with questions, but it ignored him, its focus instead focused on the Shard-seeker. The statue and adventurer disappeared, with only the Shard-seeker returning. The Shard-seeker explained that the statue had been a trap, and that they'd been forced to take part in an ancient bloodsport. Disappointed, Ross noted that sometimes being beneath notice had its advantages.[2]
