Zig is a slender man with a wiry build and dark hair usually hidden under a wide brimmed hat. He wears dark, oil stained leather armor beneath a flamboyant, reversible cloak that is grey on one side and vibrant purple on the other. His eyes are constantly scanning the room for exits and purses.

He is a perpetual optimist who believes any situation can be solved with a catchy tune or a well timed lie. He treats every tavern like a stage and every mark like a challenge to his wit. Despite his criminal history, he is fiercely loyal to those he calls friends.

Zig Zigzy grew up in the narrow alleys of the city, serving as a lookout for a gang of pickpockets known as the Wharf Rats. He found that his flute playing could signal the arrival of the city watch while entertaining the locals, masking his criminal intent with melody. One night, his quick thinking and a sudden, booming performance saved his crew from an ambush. He realized then that performance was more than just a cover, it was a power in its own right. He eventually left the gang to seek fame and fortune, realizing that while thievery pays the bills, legends are what make a man immortal. He travels now to build his own song, one heist and one harmony at a time.
