Appearance
A lean drow elf with obsidian skin, long white hair worn back for silence, and pale violet eyes that never stop measuring exits. He favors matte black leathers cut for movement, a narrow assassin's cloak, and hidden sheaths at the forearm, boot, and collar. His hands are clean but scarred, with the careful precision of someone who has killed for a living and still hates mess.
Mannerisms
He speaks softly and rarely wastes a full sentence when a glance will do. When planning a kill, he taps two fingers against his wrist in a slow rhythm, as if counting pulses. He always stands where he can see a door, and he unconsciously lowers his voice whenever he mentions names he once feared.
Personality
Controlled, observant, and disarmingly polite, he treats every room like a battlefield and every conversation like an interrogation. He values competence above sentiment, but he is not heartless, he simply believes mercy should be deliberate rather than sentimental. He enjoys the clean logic of a perfect plan and takes pride in leaving no witness who can accurately describe him.
Ideals
Freedom. No House, priesthood, or ruler has the right to own another living soul. Power is only respectable when it is used to break chains, even if the hand that wields it is stained black.
Bonds
He keeps a black iron token from the only ally who helped him escape the Underdark, and he will burn entire factions to protect that person's memory. He also guards a hidden list of names, former House officials, slavers, and handlers, and he intends to make each one answer for their part in his exile.
Flaws
He assumes every kindness has a hidden price, so he often tests allies with lies, silence, or needlessly sharp honesty. He can become obsessive when hunting a target, even if finishing the job risks a better opportunity or a safer exit. He also underestimates how much his own loneliness drives him, and he sometimes confuses control with freedom.
Quirks
Background
Born beneath the Underdark in a House that measured worth in obedience and blood, the drow called Drow Assassin learned early that survival meant becoming useful to cruel people before they decided you were disposable. He was trained first as a messenger, then as a lookout, then as an invisible hand that solved problems his betters could not afford to have seen. By the time he understood the shape of the world, he had already learned how to cross a room without sound and how to turn a smile into a promise of murder. His escape came during a betrayal inside his own House, when a rival priestess ordered the elimination of every servant who had overheard too much. He survived by doing what no one expected, he fled upward, into the light that wounded him and then taught him patience. On the surface he built a new life as a criminal specialist, a thief, infiltrator, and assassin who sells silence to the highest bidder. He keeps faith with no crown, no god, and no cause, yet he remembers every slight, every mercy, and every name that was spoken before a knife went in.
