Description: He is constantly adorned with expensive silk clothing, often dyed in bright white and black, and wears rings and necklaces with large, colorful gems. He carries with him a set of rapiers on his belt, each one with a aquamarine on the hilt. His hair, while still mostly brown, has prominent grey streaks. His face possesses mild wrinkles. His smile is extraordinarily sincere though he does not smile often.

Personality: He swings through moods quickly. One moment he is cool and collected, the next he is carried away by passions. He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of illithids may trigger it at times.

History: He was raised in a white middle class family as the only child. Through the years after Heian was born, his mother became increasingly distant from his family, instead choosing to pursue power in the west.

Motivation: Many illithids want him driven away.

History: He was a bastard born out of an affair, and his father always resented and mistreated him for it out of spite.
