Raeth Dundragon (Rayth Dun-jrag-on)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Raeth is in good shape and exercises weekly as time and circumstances allow. He keeps his hands limber and protected.

Facial Features

Raeth has a kind face and soft eyes. He has a bit of beard and mustache.

Apparel & Accessories

Raeth dresses much like the adventurers who come to Ankhapur on their way to the Border Kingdoms. Browns and grays with little color so as not to stand out. He mostly wears styles associated with the cities and towns on the southern shore of the Lake of Steam. He accentuates this by openly carrying an Arthyn Fang dagger sheathed on his potion belt. He wears a gold medallion around his neck and says it's a symbol of Waukeen if asked.

Specialized Equipment

Thieves' tools and a potion belt.

-Raeth's longsword, Shadow's Kiss.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born in the city of Saradush in eastern Tethyr, Raeth's parents moved to Ankhapur when he was 15 to try their hands in the pearl trade that is successful in the cities and towns around the northern shore of the Lake of Steam. He eventually fell in with a group of ne'er-do-wells and was recruited into the church of Mask.

Gender Identity

Male

Sexuality

Unsure, but highly likely he is pansexual.

Education

Educated by his parents, Raeth was taught to read and write his native Chondathan as well as Common. Mathematics was also taught, as well as the history of Tethyr.
Raeth greatly expanded what he'd learned by spending time around the various people who made Ankhapur their home. He picked up Alzhedo quickly and began creating disguises based on an Amnian traveler. He learned Elven from a retired half elf adventurer.
After the encounters with the Imp, Raeth has used the small library in the Gift of Shadows to research the creature and its home plane, Baator, the Nine Hells. His planar knowledge has expanded recently since he needed to know how to combat it should the Imp make a third appearance.
Raeth has started learning to read Infernal, as well.

Mental Trauma

Seeing the devastation and terror caused by the invading force in Brindinford unsettled Raeth.
Wil's death weighs heavily upon Raeth. He feels like if he'd been a bit more heavy-handed he could have kept Wil from being so afraid and running off unprepared after he and Stolig were arrested.

Intellectual Characteristics

Raeth looks for plans and schemes others have put in place in hopes of avoiding them.
He doesn't take unnecessary risks.

Morality & Philosophy

He doesn't really trust people, though if he gives his word, he keeps it. This puts him at odds with his fellow clergy at times, but he doesn't worry about them. If Mask is displeased, the Shadowlord will make sure Raeth knows.
Raeth will not harm non-combatants. He finds it distasteful and unbecoming. He refuses to associate with those who do.

Taboos

Raeth will not steal from the pearl divers nor the small businesses that deal in local pearls.
Raeth refuses to purposefully set foot in an active temple of a good deity. This has led his companions to ask questions among themselves.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

To be well off and to rise in the clergy of the Shadowlord. He toys with the idea of going to the Border Kingdoms to adventure, but Ankhapur is still too lucrative to pass up.
Raeth now seeks to destroy the forces occupying Brindinford, specifically the mages and priests.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Raeth is very skilled at stealth as befits one of his vocation. He has also become something of a swordsman, as well.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Dark beer, sausages, fry bread, crab cakes, crab legs with butter, cats, good boots, a well made dagger.
Dislikes: Banites, most mages, bad wine, sleeping on the ground, imps, and spiders.

Virtues & Personality perks

Virtues: Raeth is a man of his word as much as it pains him at times.

Vices & Personality flaws

Vices: Berduskan Dark and Tethyrian tanagluth wines.
Flaws: He doesn't trust easily, if at all.

Hygiene

Raeth keeps himself bathed, but his clothes appear less so to further the disguise that he's an adventurer and not clergy.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Raeth has worked as an agent for Baron Joachim Wildhurst, an Ankhapuran noble.
With the Baron's death, Raeth is once again a free agent. He has begun putting plans in place to deal with the forces of the Speaker in Dreams, if he can keep his friends out of trouble.

Family Ties

His parents still live and work in the city. Their business is quite successful. They own a boat used for pearl diving and employ two full time divers. They sell their pearls in most of the major cities and towns in the region.
His younger brother, Evendur, is 15 and lives with his parents. He and Raeth are close, and Raeth keeps him out of trouble as best he can.
His family are off limits to everyone. Harm or even allude to harming his family or bringing them into the criminal world is the fastest way to learn first hand how good he is with a knife or how deep the Lake of Steam is.

Religious Views

A devout Maskarran, Raeth hopes to prove himself to the God of Thieves by making a huge score and using that wealth to change Ankhapur to be more welcoming to Mask.
Raeth now wields a longsword he calls Shadow's Kiss, in homage to Mask and his god's sword, Stealthwhisper. 
He hopes to make contact with a planar servant of Mask or commune with his god.

Hobbies & Pets

Dragon Chess is a favorite hobby of Raeth's. He learned from his mother and still plays her when he visits. She soundly beats him almost every time.

Speech

Raeth commonly uses an Arthyn accent when speaking. It's become second nature to him and he has to make himself use his normal accent if he is around his parents. His Alzhedo is accented as someone from southern Tethyr. His Elven is slightly accented and he's working on losing the accent as fast as he can.

Wealth & Financial state

Working as agents for Baron Wildhurst has proved lucrative for Raeth. He now has a sizeable nest egg put away for emergencies as well as making sure he has the gear he needs.
