Scorn is a lean male tiefling with deep crimson skin, swept-back black horns, a narrow face, and a long tail that moves with deliberate precision. He dresses in well-maintained dark leather beneath a weathered charcoal cloak, with a silver false coin hanging at his throat. Within a minute of meeting him, people notice that his eyes rarely settle on faces. They track exits, hands, pockets, windows, and reflective surfaces instead. He walks with a loose, economical gait, always favoring the side nearest the nearest escape route.

Scorn is dryly observant, skeptical, and quietly amused by other people's confidence. He rarely raises his voice because he has learned that people reveal more when they think they are in control. He is capable of genuine loyalty, but he disguises it beneath sarcasm, practical advice, and complaints about wasted effort.

Scorn learned early that a name could be stolen, sold, or invented. Born into a tiefling family that survived by trading in forged seals and altered documents, he became the quiet hand behind the operation, copying signatures, changing dates, and making false identities look more convincing than the real ones. His nickname began as an insult after he exposed a counterfeit noble writ by muttering, "We'll see how this works," before testing it against the original. The phrase stayed with him, partly because it amused him and partly because he has never trusted certainty. A burglary went wrong when Scorn discovered that one of his family's most valuable clients was using their forgeries to condemn innocent people. Rather than complete the job, he switched the documents and vanished with the client's ledger. The ledger contains names, payments, and enough secrets to make powerful enemies nervous. Now Scorn works as a thief, infiltrator, and occasional information broker, selling only what he can afford to lose. He is not seeking redemption, exactly. He wants freedom from anyone who believes they own his loyalty, and he intends to learn whether a false life can eventually become a real one.
