Luwain, an ever-happy bard/fighter/good-timer, an egomaniac and a totally reckless young Kreanian, will always find the least suitable moment to do the least expected things. It is clear for everyone that he has a major role in the Fellowship of the Flying Paladin. The nature of this role, however, is not clear to any of them, including, probably, Luwain himself.
Raised through his childhood (i.e. until the age of 52) in the Three Dwarves' Inn by his stepfather Izormi and the weird yet sweet old hag Marla, Luwain was being prepared for the kind of task he would have to perform in the Fellowship of the Flying Paladin. The nature of this task is, again, a matter of controversy: Marla would say, "We prepared him very well for the creation of the world", while Luwain claims that they prepared him extremely well for having fun and enjoying his life.
One dark spot in Luwain's biography is having once been chained and raped by a group of gnome ladies; if you ever see him, don't dare mention that.
For an additional flavour, take a look at a song that Luwain wrote about The Hidden One: The music is a tiny variation on "Here Comes the Rain Again".
His axe he'll always wield To cut the trees, to kill, to build He didn't die during a combat Burned by fire. He does not cease to speak He's nice, he's tough, a kind of freak His hair is gone but I can assure you - You could like him this way too. So shut up Hidden-One! 'till I tell you to, or you will never own this sword-plus-two... Well, you can speak again as I'm almost done Oh, and I'm sorry for this dagger plus one...hehehehehehehe....
