Kumadar's bio is actually excerpted from one of those little stories in the Kunark guidebook, which I still have. It isn't exactly literature, but man I loved these things when I was 8.
Quote:
"Hail there, boatman," the Halfling said. "Where, along this canal, may a wanderer, such as myself, find a peaceful night's rest?"
The Iksar pushed his pole so that his flatbottom ferry would nestle closer to the small, pale customer. His reptilian eyes warily studied the little creature. After a beat, he replied, "No man such as you can rest peacefully within these walls, traveler."
The Halfling put his hand on his sword hilt and tried to stand taller. "Can you take me to an inn or not?"
"That, I can do," the boatman said with a sneer, "as long as you make no conditions on your safety..."

The bio being - "I will help you if I can, but I can make no conditions on your safety..."
Not strictly RP, but I try to live up to it.
