Appearance
Vierik is a lean, weathered human with tawny skin, sharp gray eyes, and dark brown hair kept short at the sides and tied back at the nape. A thin scar runs from his left temple to his cheek, and his hands are marked by old cuts from lockpicks, bowstrings, and rough travel. He wears practical studded leather beneath a moss-colored cloak, with a longbow wrapped in dark oilskin and a pair of well-balanced daggers hidden at his belt.
Mannerisms
Vierik habitually checks exits, windows, and loose floorboards whenever he enters a room. He rolls a coin across his knuckles while thinking, pauses before answering personal questions, and instinctively lowers his voice when discussing anything important.
Personality
Quiet, observant, and dryly humorous, Vierik speaks like someone who is always measuring the room. He is suspicious of authority but protective of ordinary people, especially street children, fugitives, and anyone being hunted by people with more power than conscience. He prefers practical solutions, dislikes grand speeches, and shows affection by repairing gear, sharing food, or silently taking the most dangerous watch.
Ideals
No one should be owned by a gang, a noble, or a lawmaker. Freedom means having the chance to choose what kind of person you become, even after making terrible choices.
Bonds
He carries a broken brass key taken from the hideout where his old crew was betrayed. He intends to find the surviving members, expose the magistrate who destroyed them, and make certain no one under his protection is ever abandoned again.
Flaws
Vierik assumes every kindness conceals a trap. He is quick to lie, quicker to run, and deeply uncomfortable when someone offers him trust without demanding payment. When frightened, he can become controlling and may risk a mission to protect people who remind him of his former crew.
Quirks
Background
Vierik grew up in the narrow back streets of a river city where honest work was scarce and locks were easier to understand than people. He learned to lift purses, slip through barred windows, and vanish into crowds before he was old enough to know the difference between survival and crime. For several years he worked with a small burglary crew, using his knowledge of alleyways and rooftops to guide them through the city after dark. The crew became his closest thing to a family, until their leader sold them out to a powerful magistrate to save himself. Vierik escaped through the sewers, but two of his friends did not.
