His drive? I'd agree that perhaps the character could use more of a hook, though.

Anyway, the only thing that jumped out at me as inconsistent was how Regeth's family is mentioned as being "poor", yet when his father dies he leaves the mother a "decent sum of money".

That jumps out to me as a hook, his father was an adventurer before he married. There is the potential within him.

I might add that his father died of an illness, and perhaps he approached an elven visitor for a herb that might have cured him, but was met with a reply that elven herbs were not allowed to be traded to humans. He does not know whether the herb could have cured his father or not, but the memory remains. His father saved up some money over the years which was a good sum, which he left to his wife. This enabled her to live a financially secure life. Regeth and his mother did not know about the extent of the savings, as they lived a poor life. The money was there to make sure the family would be provided for no matter what.

His positive qualities: Intelligent, learning attitude and interest in lore, compassionate, brave, dedicated to improving fighting skill, tolerant, indomitable attitude, takes an interest in life.

negative qualities: Bitter over the seemingly mundane or inferior life humans have to lead, takes it personally when a problem crops up that he cannot solve, hard to stay in one place too long because of his wanderlust, does not know when to back down or accept things, idealistic about the potential of humans to achieve great deeds, can be too harsh on himself and other humans for failings, although tolerant can sometimes be bitter towards demihumans in weaker moments.
