Alignment: His own (Chaotic evil)
Gender: Offensively Male
Age: Indeterminate
Occupation: Murder, extortion, arson, torture, rape and theft. So far.
Residence: Posted Imagemaintains a number of safe houses throughout Lower Sanctum. That being said he's not afraid to spend the night at one of the town's seedy inns and often does when he's in the mood for whores. He can often be found at the Cloak & Stagger and makes no effort in hiding this fact. In addition to his safe houses he is known to have a lair in the Undercity. The rumors of what goes on there are the stuff of nightmares.


APPEARANCE

Posted Image
Height: Tall
Weight: Heavy
Build: Tall and Heavy. WhilePosted Imageis no giant, he does tend to loom over average folks. Part of his might be due to his intimidating demeanor more than actual size though. He is powerfully built and mean as hell.
Origins: Horrible
Race: Human?
Eye Colour: Pale blue
Hair Colour: Dark brown
Unique Features:Posted Imagehas a surprisingly small amount of scars for someone in his line of work. That being said, there is a large one across his neck from the time the city guard attempted to hang him. Some have remarked that he seems to have particularly long canines, though folk aren't exactly lining up to take a look.
Attire: Brown leather, hoods, cloaks, a multitude of weapons.Posted Imagemanages to dress the part of a thug while remaining distinct to those who view him. He tends to wear sturdy leather armor over top of what were likely fancy clothes ten years ago but now show the wear of time. He's fond of hoods and cowls, anything that obscures his face really. His one most notable piece of clothing would likely be the large patchwork leather cloak he always seems to have on him.

PERSONAL HISTORY


In the depths of lower Sanctum a boy named Bleddyn Ric was born. His father was a mercenary of some renown, his mother little more than a footnote in his legend. The father was respected for his prowess and revered for his rise from humble beginnings. He considered the boy his greatest accomplishment and raised him to follow in his footsteps, teaching him the art of the sword and the honor of a warrior.

So it was a shock to all when at the age of 16 the boy slew his father. He proceeded to threaten, maim, and murder everyone who knew the man's name or dared to remember him. In the end even the boy was forgotten. From then on he wasPosted Image, a murderer and sword for hire. He spent the next few years of his life making it clear that he would face no reprisals for his actions. Those who challenged him would face torture and eventually death beside all those they loved and cared for. No longer do people speak his name, not that any can even remember it.

Since then he has become a facet of the underworld of Sanctum. No matter who you are, how much power you've amassed or influence you've gained you are not safe fromPosted Image. His morals are purely mercenary. He'll kill anyone and anything for the right price. It is a common saying in Lower Sanctum, "If you want a man killed, hire an assassin. If you want him killed, his family slaughtered, his house burned, and his dog eaten, you hirePosted Image!"


SKILLS

There isn't muchPosted Imagewon't do, and there's not much he can't do. He is a capable spy, a fair hand with a pistol or crossbow, and a reliable sneak-thief.

There are however a number of things at which he excels. While his methods are brutal and without honor even noblemen and respected blade masters admit that he is excellent with a sword or dagger. What's worse, he's a fearsome hand to hand combatant and freely mixes his unarmed skills with his swordsmanship. When coupled with his natural savagery it adds up to an effective and unpredictable fighting style.

As good as he is in a fight he's even better at torture.Posted Imageis known for sussing out information and inventing new ways to cause pain. Beyond that he's quite skilled at psychological torture, and the stories that have spread about his dirty work are the stuff of nightmares.

If you thought that perhaps you could deal with the unmitigated violence simply by avoidingPosted Image, you would be dissapointed to know that he is also a master tracker. It is said that he is dogged in his pursuit and escape is not an option.


POWERS


It is said thatPosted Imagecan walk through walls, that he cannot be killed, and that he does not know weariness. He is a relentless killer and more legends surround him than fact. He is stronger than normal men, faster too. He can hear your heart beating and smell your fear.Posted Image,in short, is a monster.



POSSESSIONS

Posted Image

Strangebane- This sword, distinguishable only by it's black blade, was once carried by a knight of The Order whomPosted Imagemurdered. Though the properties of this blade are not known, it spells certain doom for whomever he draws it against. Lucky for most, it rarely leaves it's scabbard.
Second Blade- A regular cutlass he carries around, this is his usual weapon of choice, though he often dual wields it with Strangebane or Chewer.

Chewer- A sword breakerPosted Imageoften wields in his off hand. Unlike almost everything else about the man Chewers properties are known. The enchantment on the blade causes the teeth to wrench about if they have caught a sword, damaging the enemy blade. Similiarly, ifPosted Imagestabs someone the teeth will twist about causing additional damage. It is a very tough weapon, able take on a full blow from larger weapon without breaking.

Pistols- He carries four of these on a bandolier at any given time. Never know when you'll want need to shoot somebody.

Weapons- Well, needless to say if there's one thingPosted Imageis good at it's killing folks in a variety of ways. So it's believed he has access to more other mundane weapons, though whether he keeps them himself or just purchases them as a job requires is unknown. He's also known to keep a knife or two up his sleeves.

Ivory Chopsticks- A set of ivory chopsticksPosted Imagecarries around for eating. They are said to be carved from the femur of his worst enemy. Whom that may be is a mystery, though there are many theories, and even a running bet at the Cloak & Stagger.

Leather Cloak- A patchwork leather cloakPosted Imagealways seems to be wearing. It appears to be handmade, though what the leather came from is a bit of a mystery.


RELATIONSHIPS


-None that has lasted long enough to count.
