Drizzt Do'Urden
Drizzt Do’Urden is, perhaps, the most famous Drow in the history of Faerûn. Drizzt Do’Urden is a drow from The Underdark city of Menzoberranzan, the third son of Matron Mother Malice of House Do’Urden. He is born on the eve of battle in the Year of the Singing Skull 1297 DR. Like all dark elves, Drizzt has pitch black skin and white hair, but his lavender eyes set him apart from most drow, whose eyes are typically red. His eyes have become accustomed to sunlight but are attuned to darkness, and his hearing is almost supernaturally keen. At somewhere between five and five-and-a-half feet tall, Drizzt is surprisingly small, slender, and light, but anyone who thinks that means he isn’t dangerous probably won’t live to make the same mistake again.
Having run from his home in the City of Spiders, Drizzt comes to the World Above a renegade, a stranger in a land where his kind are seen as evil beings from a world of darkness and cruelty. Though he lives for a time in a cave outside Kelvin’s Cairn, he eventually finds his way to Icewind Dale where he befriends his future adventuring companions the famous dwarven king Bruenor Battlehammer; Bruenor's adopted human daughter, Cattie-Brie ; the barbarian Wulfgar; and Regis (Rumblebelly according to Bruenor), a loyal but unadventurous halfling. The group had many adventures together and would come to be known as the Companions of the Hall, when one such adventure led Drizzt and his friends south, to Mithral Hall (a city of the dwarves), where they currently reside.
A man of integrity and honor, he flies in the face of everything it means to be a drow. Though he is born in a city where treachery is the rule of the day, Drizzt tries to keep his word, however dangerous it might be for him. His personality and ethics are so strong that even the gruff and suspicious Bruenor Battlehammer uses Drizzt as inspiration for the dwarves in his charge.
More than a paradigm of honor and integrity, Drizzt is an excellent deductive thinker, with a steady, logical mind that never folds under pressure, though he will sometimes rely on instinct in critical situations. On a day-to-day basis, Drizzt is a stoic, calm, and serious individual, but he’s always thinking—thinking about his place in the world, the value of his friendships, and the truth of his elf ’s longevity that will see him outlive all of his closest friends.
Drizzt now finds himself as the sole survivor of the Companions of the Hall. Burdened with a great guilt, and still a great relief that he now has no ties to anyone, and after 100 years can wander the world on his own adventures.
Drizzt's favorite weapon is the scimitar, and he carries two, nicknamed Twinkle and Icingdeath. He also carries a unique figurine of wondrous power that summons his black panther companion Guenhwyvar.
