Appearance
Illiath is a lean, long-limbed male tabaxi with tawny-gold fur marked by dark russet rosettes and a thick tail that curls around his ankles when he is bored. He wears a slightly oversized leather coat, carefully patched with brightly colored scraps from old stage costumes. His rapier is polished obsessively, while nearly every other piece of his equipment shows practical wear. When waiting, he balances on the balls of his feet and shifts his weight from side to side as though listening for music only he can hear.
Mannerisms
Illiath punctuates conversation with a soft tail flick, pauses dramatically before delivering an insult, and bows after making even the smallest successful theft. When nervous, he silently mouths the words to an old heroic ballad about Hawk Hulgan.
Personality
I love a good insult, even one directed at me. Illiath is quick-witted, theatrically confident, and fascinated by anything forbidden, hidden, or difficult to reach. He is generous toward fellow performers and outcasts, but he cannot resist testing the patience of authority figures. He laughs at danger partly because he enjoys the performance and partly because admitting fear would ruin the timing.
Ideals
The world is in need of new ideas and bold actions. Tradition is only useful until someone has the courage to improve it.
Bonds
I idolize Hawk Hulgan, a hero of the old tales, and measure every daring deed against the stories told about him. One day, I intend to perform an exploit so audacious that traveling storytellers will place my name beside his.
Flaws
A scandal involving theft and the humiliation of a powerful patron prevents me from ever going home. I also have a talent for treating every locked door as a personal challenge, even when leaving it alone would be wiser.
Quirks
Background
Illiath grew up among traveling performers who moved from market town to market town, carrying painted wagons, battered instruments, and more secrets than costumes. As a tabaxi, he was drawn to every locked box, hidden purse, and backstage whisper. His nimble hands first served the troupe by repairing props and retrieving dropped coins from impossible places. Soon, however, he began supplementing the troupe's income by stealing from wealthy patrons who treated performers as furniture. He justified every theft as a lesson in humility, until one particularly memorable burglary exposed a scandal that implicated the troupe and humiliated a powerful local official.
