Appearance
Thorn is a tall, powerfully built human male with a wiry athletic frame, weathered olive skin, sharp green eyes, and black hair cut short on the sides. A thin scar crosses his left eyebrow, while several small silver rings line one ear. He dresses in dark, close-fitting leather armor beneath a charcoal cloak, with daggers hidden at his wrists and a rapier hanging at his hip. Despite his intimidating physique, he moves with unnerving silence and carries himself like someone who is always measuring exits.
Mannerisms
Thorn constantly tests the edges of nearby objects with his fingertips, especially locks, coin rims, and loose stones. He speaks softly when angry, smiles when lying, and habitually positions himself with a clear view of every exit.
Personality
Thorn is observant, irreverent, and intensely self-reliant. He treats danger like a puzzle and conversation like a card game, revealing only what benefits him. Beneath his cynicism is a reluctant protectiveness toward other outcasts, especially anyone who reminds him of the frightened child he used to be.
Ideals
Freedom. No crown, guild, temple, or chain has the right to own another person's choices. Thorn would rather live dangerously on his own terms than safely beneath someone else's control.
Bonds
Thorn keeps a battered brass signet taken from the crime boss who destroyed his family. He intends to uncover what happened to his parents and decide for himself whether the debt has been paid in blood.
Flaws
Thorn assumes every act of kindness conceals a trap. He is quick to betray a plan, ally, or promise if he believes doing so will preserve his freedom, and he cannot resist proving that he is the cleverest person in the room.
Quirks
Background
Thorn grew up in the crowded back alleys of a river city where every locked door was an invitation and every friendly face had a price. His parents vanished after a debt dispute with a local smuggling ring, leaving him to survive by lifting purses, carrying messages, and slipping through places no respectable person would enter. He learned early that strength could break a lock, but patience, timing, and a convincing lie could open an entire household.
