=== Background ===
Early Life: Snake Bites From Tall Grass, or Snakebite for short, worked as a guide and hunter in the deserts of the South. Rather boring except for the odd scuffle with sand people or what have you.

Exaltation: One day a wealthy nobleman commissioned Snakebite to accompany him and his entourage (i.e. several well-armed bodyguards) on a hunt for sandswimmers. He led them through the burning sands for almost 3 weeks with no luck, when disaster struck (as it is wont to do). Shortly after the sun set on a blazing hot day, one of the nobleman's entourage stepped on a sand person sleeping under the sand, waking them up and inciting them into a bloodthirsty frenzy. Snakebite was running point when they attacked, and turned around in time to see several of the armed guards dragged into the sands to their grainy dooms. Snakebite took off running, seeing that the nobleman was boned, and the sand people gave chase. It was a battle between Snakebite's fatigue and the sand people's grogginess until he leapt over a dune and fell through the sand and tumbled out a flight of stairs. When he came to a rough stop on a cold stone floor, he looked up and found he was in an ancient tomb. A statue standing over a decorated stone sarcophagus held an orichalcum longbow. Snakebite forgot about the sand people that were still chasing him, but his curiosity overwhelmed him. He picked up the heavy, unwieldy bow to take a closer look at the intricate designs when he heard shuffling sand behind him. A good dozen sand people were creeping up on him when he heard a voice like a thunderhead say "This is your last stand, what will you do?" The tomb lit up around him with a golden light and he nailed 3 of the things to the walls with arrows before he even knew what he had done. Focusing himself, he easily dispatched the rest of them with a hail of arrows. He sealed the tomb back up before leaving, making a mental note of where it was. It was best to let sleeping god-champions lie.

Post-Exaltation: Snakebite has been moving around the larger cities of the South, working as a guide like he used to, and gets tips for new jobs from his old contacts in the Guild. His life is too quiet for his tastes, and is itching to go stomping around.
