Hidama

The Traveler in the Bowler Hat was, by all accounts, an easy mark. Two apprentice wizards from the fortress thought so, cornering Hidama against a humming crystal monolith in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria as the sun began to set. They saw the strawberry milk-like marking on their face, the almost comical hat, and the decoratively carved cane. They demanded a 'traveler's tax.' Hidama simply smiled, a sweet, vacant expression. Then, in one fluid motion, they hooked the first wizard's ankle with the cane, sending them sprawling. Before the second could react, Hidama tipped their hat politely, and the cane tapped the ground once. A puff of disorienting, sparkling dust shot from its tip. By the time the wizards stopped coughing, Hidama was gone, along with their heaviest coin purse.
