Oh just a sec, I meant to post it.

Hyksos: Originally there were four hobbit chieftain brothers. One led the Stoors in the Gladden Fields, one led the Fallohides in the forests near the eagle's eyries, one led the Harfoots at the mouth of the river that flows into the Gladden Fields, and the youngest led another tribe, who's name has been lost to history, who occupied the border of what would become Mirkwood. The youngest brother was the wildest and most adventurous of them all and he often felt bored with the life these people led. All four tribes lived in peace and happiness, but this could not last. They came in the night. No warning at all. The ancestors of the Rohirrim had invaded from the south through the southern woods. They burned the shelters and killed the civilians. The hobbit militia couldn't stop them. Finally the chieftains called a meeting. They all decided their only option was to leave. The Fallohides traveled north. Many scouts and hutners and gone there and they seemed a peaceful enough land. They later crossed at a low point in the misties and went into Eriador. The Harfoots went west. They went to Imladris pass and crossed into Eriador the fast way. There they met up with the Fallohides, and settled the land that would become the Shire. The Stoors went east. The Stoors had heard from the Toromanes of the bountiful lands of the Greenwood. They made it fine through the forest, but when they reached the lands of the Easterlings they were in for a surprise. The invaders had come from the more powerful kingdom of Rhovanion, and Rhovanion didn't welcome short invaders from the west. They were crushed in a battle by the army and turned back to the Anduin. They hid in the Gladden Fields instead, and tried to stay out of the local people's way. But the youngest brother was not satisfied with the easy way out. Almost nothing was known about the southern Anduin, and he aimed to find out. He led his people south following the Anduin. They avoided any men with their superior stealth and agility, stealing to gain food. Eventually they reached the delta of the Anduin, a maze of rushes, reeds, and swamp channels. The youngest brother looked out at the ocean. He realized then that their was no place where he and his people would live happily. Men were always invading, always pillaging. There and then the last tribe of hobbits chose the life of the outlaw. They would steal and rob those men who were foolish enough to attack them. The brother chose a new name, Hyksos, which he decided meant conqueror. Today the Hyksos are a nomadic group of hobbit bandits. They steal for a living, and rob any who cross them. The youngest brother has long since died, but the Hyksos culture survives.

First and foremost, they developed their own language, combined from the languages of the Haradrim, who they traveled to often later, the Anduin delta natives, and the Hobbut language. They're appearance is both similar and different from hobbits. They still are very short and have curly hair, but their skin has gradually turned an olive shade and their hair is usually shoulder length and black or dark brown. Unlike Shire hobbits they do sometimes use shoes, but only simple cloth wraps or moccasins. They still have a feat love of fine foods, but they're constant running life has made them a good deal more fit than Shire hobbits. They are all very agile, fast, and stealthy, and like their counterparts, dead on with ranged weapons. All these skills come in handy when robbing and stealing. However in one aspect they are absolute opposites. While Shire hobbits have an inborn hate for adventures, Hyksos are filled with insatiable curiosity. They can leave no stone unturned and no hill unclimbed, even when it could lead to their death. As a people the Hyksos have hundreds of shelters around ME, safes houses where they can hind and rest. The strongest is Dabria, which means, "Angel of Death", in the Hyksos language. It is a powerful hidden underground fortress on Tolfalas, and is the primary refuge for them. The Hyksos being nomadic they are contantly training with a special species of small horse, specifically bred. They are much smaller than most, and are extremely fast, wild, and violent, but when loyal they are excellent mounts. They are trained to take down other horses during high speed chases, and catch escapees without damaging them. On horseback the Hyksos have access to a wide variety of weapons, all customized for horseback. The Hyksos are particularly excellent with short swords and light bows, as well as whips. Hyksos clothing varies, many different cultures influence them. All learning is done for young Hyksos on the move, so family bonds become very important. The Hyksos government is simply a chieftain, status depends on experience and prowess. The Hyksos rob all sorts of people, but they refrain from attacking hobbit cousins, other than a few petty thefts. They are particularly hateful of the nosy Gondorians and their and their ancestral enemies, the Rohirrim.

Jacinto: Jacinto was born the son of the current Hyksos chieftain. He was brought up from an early age to steal and move quickly around the wilderness. Currently he is the second most important Hyksos, but he is often scolded for his recklessness. He always wears a signature hat with a feather in it, as well as a light black clothes. The only shoes he wears are decorated moccasins. His skin is olive colored, and he has a long, twisting, black mustache. His curly black hair barely reaches his shoulder. His eyes are beetle black and always sparkle with mischief. He rides the fastest horse the Hyksos have bred, a dark brown steed with a black mane and tail named Nahla, they are very close. In battle he uses a Khopesh, stolen from the lord of a powerful Haradrim kingdom, but he also has a knife. In terms of personality he is a mix between a cheesy western villain, a French Robin Hood, and an Italian bar singer. I can't really describe more than that.
