Ulrik is 5' 8" tall, 161 lbs., with short-cropped greying black hair and brown eyes. He is 37 years of age. By birth, he is a Brotherhood man through and through, and is fanatically loyal to Ghrigiel. He exists in two quite different conditions, due to his contraction of a magical wasting disease which is seemingly incurable.

In his role as a clerical attache, Ulrik walks slowly (MV 4), has a fine tremor, coughs horribly from time to time, and appears wasted and ill, with sunken eyes, dark circles below them, a jaundiced complexion, and a slight stammer. Each evening, Ghrigiel casts a form of the cure disease spell on Ulrik, which places the symptoms in abeyance and even returns full health to him for 12 hours.

By night, Ulrik becomes his former vigorous self, and it is during these hours that he goes about his work. By dawn, his disease begins to reassert itself and, if untreated by Ghrigiel's spell, would prove fatal within 72 hours.

Ulrik's impressive array of magical items allows rapid movement, fast escape, ability to alter form and appearance, protection from scrying, and the ability to render victims incapable of action (sword) or recall (medallion). He is splendidly equipped for his surveillance work. He has begun to develop a few contacts in the River Quarter, where he is known by the name Raliman Erleden, but his direct operations have so far been restricted to break-ins and surveillance.
