Appearance

Lean and wiry, with deep crimson skin, swept-back black horns, gold-flecked amber eyes, and shoulder-length dark hair tied with a red cord. A thin scar crosses his left eyebrow. He wears a soot-stained scholar's robe beneath a dark travel coat, with several hidden pockets sewn into the lining. His spellbook is bound in black leather and secured with a brass lock.

Mannerisms

Cassian taps two fingers against his spellbook whenever he is thinking. He habitually checks doors, windows, and pockets when entering a room, then pretends he was merely admiring the architecture. He speaks quickly when excited and slows dramatically when lying.

Personality

Cassian is quick-witted, curious, and disarmingly charming. He treats every problem like a puzzle and every conversation like a negotiation, but his bravado hides a sincere concern for people who are trapped by poverty, authority, or bad luck. He prefers clever solutions and nonlethal magic, though he is perfectly willing to cheat someone who abuses power.

Ideals

Freedom. No tyrant, guildmaster, devil, or institution has the right to decide what another person may become. Knowledge should be used to break chains, not forge them.

Bonds

Cassian once stole a forbidden grimoire from a powerful arcanist, only to discover that the book contained evidence that the arcanist had been exploiting poor apprentices. Cassian escaped with the book, but left behind a young apprentice who helped him. He now seeks a way to expose the arcanist and repay the debt to the person he could not rescue.

Flaws

Cassian cannot resist proving that he is the cleverest person in the room, especially when someone underestimates him. He keeps secrets even from close allies, and his instinct to plan an escape sometimes makes him appear untrustworthy. When frightened, he becomes reckless rather than admitting that he needs help.

Quirks

Names every important spell component before using it.
Keeps a running mental list of exits in every building.
Collects unusual keys even when he does not know what they open.
Refuses to play cards with anyone who has visibly clean fingernails.

Background

Cassian Vey grew up among the cramped alleys, shuttered gambling dens, and candlelit counting rooms of a city where information was worth more than gold. His mother taught him the practical arts of survival, including slipping locks, reading ledgers, and knowing which guards could be bribed. Cassian discovered his gift for magic while copying a stolen merchant's spellbook. The symbols rearranged themselves beneath his fingers, revealing patterns no ordinary thief could see. He began using minor illusions and clever enchantments to make impossible burglaries look like clerical errors.
