Artemis is a half-elf orphan that has been bounced around between owners or caretakers around the cities and towns in the region. He would be the equivalent to a 22 year-old human...currently taking care of himself, but with plenty of contacts, some owe him favors, some looking for him (because he owes them money....or believe he boosted stuff from them or want to talk about hiring him for a job). He's not currently in trouble with the law (no official bounty or warrants out)
He's a good source of information, supplies, maps, minor magical items, pretty decent traveling papers, would know his way in, out, and around the cities and towns. He traveled to Fiveleague House to lay low for a while.
The militia in Harken were starting to crack down on locals they suspected were involved in a rebellion and a few of his friends were jailed and hanged in the crackdown, so he skipped town. Many in Harkenwold say that the Iron Circle to the south serves the evil gods and that they have been secretly infiltrating and conquering cities near Nentir Vale.
Publicly none of Harkenwold's current rulers claim allegiance to dark forces (they keep the public face of being upright citizens). The current ruler Nazin Redthorn deposed and imprisoned the Baron of Harkenwold on false charges of corruption. Razin was backed by a sizable army from an allied noble in the southern city of Sarthel.
