Appearance
Sahshi is a lean, long-limbed male kenku with charcoal-black feathers broken by narrow bands of dusty gray around his throat and shoulders. His eyes are bright amber, watchful, and almost unnervingly still. He wears battered scale mail beneath a weather-stained green cloak, with a longbow wrapped in dark leather and two shortswords at his hips. A small brass wind instrument hangs from his belt, though he uses it more often to imitate sounds than to play music.
Mannerisms
Sahshi rarely speaks in his natural voice. He answers questions in clipped fragments borrowed from people he has heard, often matching their accent and emotional tone. When thinking, he taps one claw against his bow grip in a steady rhythm. Before entering a new place, he pauses to listen for three separate sounds.
Personality
Quiet, observant, and calculating, Sahshi studies people as carefully as he studies tracks. He is patient when hunting, practical when negotiating, and disturbingly amused by the discomfort caused by a perfectly timed imitation. He respects competence more than kindness and prefers a clear threat to a friendly promise.
Ideals
Power belongs to those who can take and keep it. Mercy is useful only when it purchases loyalty, silence, or future advantage.
Bonds
He carries a strip of painted leather taken from his lost flock's travel banner. He will risk himself to recover the names, voices, and belongings of kenku scattered by violence.
Flaws
Sahshi treats trust as a weakness and assumes every kindness conceals a bargain. He is willing to abandon strangers, sabotage allies, or lie to the innocent if doing so protects his own position. He cannot resist using a stolen voice at the worst possible moment, especially when cruelty or arrogance gives him an audience.
Quirks
Background
Sahshi was hatched among a wandering kenku band that traveled between dry valleys, ruined watchtowers, and caravan roads. His earliest memories are fragments of borrowed voices, wagon wheels, desert birds, and the hiss of wind through stone. He learned to survive by following tracks, reading weather, and remembering every path his flock had taken. His talent for imitation made him useful as a scout and messenger, but it also made him dangerous. Sahshi could reproduce a guard captain's orders, a child's cry, or the call of a wounded animal with unsettling accuracy. His flock eventually served as guides for a merchant expedition that vanished in a canyon after being betrayed by one of its own guards. Sahshi survived by hiding beneath the bodies and stalking the traitor for three days. He killed the man without remorse, then took the guard's map and voice as trophies. Since then, Sahshi has worked as a wilderness guide, bounty hunter, and occasional ambusher, selling his knowledge to whoever pays and quietly favoring clients who offer leverage over old enemies. He joined the adventuring company because it travels through places no ordinary scout could reach, and because every dangerous road may lead him to the people who destroyed his flock.
