Crow of Llaohh (lːɑox)
An agent of the Six Crows is often clumsily called a "crow." Whilst this does not really work in an organization of hundreds (not the titular Six), the agent who goes by the nom-de-guerre of Crow is a half-Svor, half-Illaohhéin dwarf male. He was trained as a gnome in Illaohh, the land of his birth, before being exiled and tried to find solace in the company of his father's people the Svor of Hœm. However, there was very good reason why his parents were no longer together, his father was a drunk and a gambler and proved less welcoming to the exile.
When he was undergoing gnomic training, his schoolmaster called him the gnome word for crow on account of his struggling with the gnome tongue. "Were you a crow, you would be fluent by now!" the gnome master announced in front of the other pupils. The name stuck.
When he came fully into his powers as a user of magic and an adventurer, he came across a friendly giant crow with iridescent blue feathers. They became fast friends and stayed together. The success of his adventuring caught the eyes of agents of the Six Crows who were acquainted with his drunkard father. Both "Crow" and his ally the crow he called "Blue"—for lack of a proper translation of the crow's actual name—were recruited by and joined the Six Crows.
