Special Equipment. Brook wields a Vicious Long Bow and carries a Vial of Serpent Venom.
Amphibious. Brook can breathe air and water.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). Brook deals an extra 4D6 damage when she hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 ft. of an ally of hers that isn't incapacitated and she doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Evasion. When Brook is subjected to an effect that allows her to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she instead takes no damage if she succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if she fails.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Originally from Astlough, Brook suffered like all of her kind in the area from the brutality of the other races. She and her family weathered this for many years, until (when she was just 14) they were kidnapped by a group of bandits, who proceeded to take turns torturing her elder sister, mother and father. Eventually they were each killed in front of her and Brook snapped. She was able to escape her binds one night and took it upon herself to murder each of her captors in a manner similar to how they had approached her family. She travelled the north of the Concordia for a few years alone before meeting up with Catalyst and joining him on his journey to bring equality to the genasi people (one way or another).

Accomplishments & Achievements

Highest kill count among Catalyst's inner circle.

Brook is constantly thinking about how she can manipulate the people around her. She needs to feel like she is ahead in any conversation.

Life is cruel and people do whatever they want, why should I be any different?

Destroy the people who did her wrong in the past with unyielding cruelty.
