Biography
At some point in his past his people were masscared, an event which left Tristan distrusting to nobles.

By the time he met Arthur, he was a head smuggler who along with Isolde, led several men, smuggling cargo across the border. When Isolde caught Arthur and Merlin, he was convinced not to kill them, and when offered gold, he agreed to let them come with him.

After Agravaine's men caught up with them, he, along with Isolde fled, but Isolde was injured during a skirmish, so he agreed, after a bit of persuation, to accompany them to Ealdor.

While there, he thanked Merlin for helping Isolde, and started to realise he was wrong about nobles. He along with the others fled when Agravaine's men surrounded Ealdor.

Personallity
Following a massacare Tristan had an intese hatred of nobles, blaming them, and seeing them as corrupt, he also had a ruthless streak, and considered killing Arthur and Merlin, when they caught him and his men. He was however a good man, and let them go when he decided they were no threat to him, and thanked Merlin when he helped Isolde.

He was willing to break the law, and showed a streak of greed, being a smuggler, he however claimed that he wouldn't need to be if the taxes weren't so high. He also disliked being given orders, and was unwilling to follow Arthur's to run from the attackers, till Arthur asked him, if he wanted to live.

The only thing he cares about more than his precious cargo is his beloved Isolde.
