Jaryn used a wish from his blade to change his appearance permanently (he ages normally he appears to be a youth of some 15 years of age, 5' 10'' tall, 165 Ibs., with a cheerful smiling face, ruddy hair, and brown eyes. He looks very young and innocent. He has probably assassinated fifty people in his time (he's actually 31 years old).

Jaryn is a native Greyhawker who sold his services in Aerdi but returned to the Free City during the wars, appalled at the senselessness of Ivid's carnage. Back in Greyhawk, Turin Death- stalker's departure created a hole, and Vesparian Lafanel was glad enough to accept the young man into the Assassins' Guild. He's shown enough skill and intelligence to become Vesper's trusted second-in-command.

Jaryn is cool and confident, never showy. With his boots and ring, half his victims are ambushed and have the bag of devouring drawn over their heads (with sDectacularlv fatal results) before they know what's hit them. He treasures his one remaining wish as a last-ditch insurance policy if things go desperately wrong. Jaryn is unfussy about his targets, with one exception: he will never accept a commission to assassinate a cleric. He has too much respect for Powers to do so. He’ll happily take on most wizards, except for the most powerful, although his price will be high.

Jaryn does not deal directly with prospective employers; Vesparian acts as his agent (as it were). Jaryn works by day as a carpenter’s apprentice, and his true identity is unknown.

Jaryn will do anything for the right payoff assassinating, spying, even adventuring (and he knows much of Aerdi secrets, and treasure hoards too). He never goes back on his word, however, and never double-crosses anyone. It’s bad for business.
