Appearance
Aerin is a halfling with a dark, olive complexion and thick, dark hair that he keeps somewhat unkempt. He wears well maintained leather armor over a simple brown tunic and trousers, all partially concealed by a deep green traveler's cloak. He notably does not wear gloves, preferring his hands to be free to manifest his psychic power, though a pair is tucked into his belt. His most peculiar feature is his sailor boots, which appear oversized for his frame and entirely out of place in a city environment.
Mannerisms
He often sits with his feet tucked under his chair and has a habit of sighing loudly when people talk about the law.
Personality
Aerin possesses a deceptive, almost childlike cheerfulness that masks a razor sharp mind. He views the world as a grand puzzle where rules are merely obstacles meant to be bypassed for a laugh or a payout. He is notoriously expensive to hire, yet he often finds himself motivated by a hidden, altruistic sense of justice that he publicly denies. He is playful with his targets, finding more joy in making a fool of a corrupt lord than in the actual theft.
Ideals
Freedom. No person or law should have the power to stifle the potential for chaos and change.
Bonds
I seek to protect those who are powerless against the greed of the high and mighty, even if I bankrupt them in the process.
Flaws
I cannot resist a chance to humiliate someone in a position of authority, regardless of the consequences to my contract.
Quirks
Background
Operating out of the shadows of Waterdeep, Aerin established himself as one of the most effective seekers and infiltrators in the North. His reputation for chaos grew alongside his success rate. When a Merchant's Guild group hired him to locate a missing daughter, they expected a standard extraction. Instead, Aerin dismantled several of their illicit business partners from the inside, viewing the merchants' shady deals as just as criminal as the kidnappers themselves. He essentially bankrupted his clients while performing the job perfectly. After being discharged without final pay due to the chaos he caused, Aerin simply left a note revealing the girl's location. For him, the game was already won. The coin was secondary to the sheer fun of ruining a group of self righteous merchants who thought they could control a soulknife. He now travels with no permanent home, seeking the next grand disruption.
