Sammy is a lean, sharp-featured half-elf with warm brown skin, slightly pointed ears, unruly black hair, and mismatched eyes, one hazel and one faintly violet. He dresses in a weathered leather coat over dark travel clothes, with a silver earring shaped like a tiny crescent moon. His hands are nimble and scarred from years of locks, cards, and close escapes. When he invokes his patron, dim violet motes gather around his eyes like distant stars.

Sammy is quick-witted, irreverent, and socially agile. He treats danger like a negotiation and usually assumes that every problem can be solved with either a clever lie or a well-placed escape route. Beneath his confidence is a deep fear of being powerless, which drives him to collect secrets, favors, and contingency plans.

Sammy grew up between two worlds and belonged fully to neither. His human mother worked as a bookkeeper for a merchant house, while his elven father was a charming confidence artist who disappeared whenever responsibility became inconvenient. Sammy learned early that a quick smile could open more doors than a strong arm, and that a well-timed lie could keep food on the table. By adolescence, he was running messages, picking pockets, and quietly altering ledgers for a thieves' guild that valued his intelligence as much as his nerve. His life changed during a burglary beneath an abandoned observatory. Sammy expected to find jewels or forgotten manuscripts, but instead discovered a sealed black mirror covered in symbols that seemed to move when he looked away. The thing behind the glass offered him knowledge in exchange for a voice in his mind. Sammy agreed before he understood the price. Now a vast, alien consciousness whispers through his dreams, granting him unsettling power and fragments of impossible insight. Sammy still works as a thief when coin is scarce, but he is also searching for the meaning behind the whispers, hoping to learn whether he made a bargain with a god, a monster, or something that has never heard of either word.
