Name: Goes by l'Ktonos, The Slayer. True name unknown.
Gender: Male
Race: Drow (Noble)
Class: Assassin
Physical Attributes: Eyes: Jet black. Empty shells that hold no emotion. Hair: White. Reaches down to the nape of his neck. Height: 6’5”
Age: Unknown. Probably around 30,000 years old.
Alignment: Evil
Personality: l'Ktonos tends to keep to himself. He is both untrusting and untrustworthy. After all, the only difference between an ally and an enemy is that one deserves a quick death.
History: Being a Drow, l'Ktonos lived the larger portion of his life in an underground city with other Drow. It is there that he learned to be a master of the sword and very skilled with magic. His true strength, however, was in assassinating enemies of his house. Through battle, he quickly rose to the best loved of the matron of his house. But such good fortune was not to last for long. Assassination attempts to take his life began to ever become a greater problem (even though assassinations are as usual as anything you might encounter on a weekly basis). When he found that his matron was behind the attempts, l'Ktonos confronted her. It was all for naught. She laid a trap for him. She said attacks would stop, but l'Ktonos knew better than to trust her. For the next few days, she held true to her word. No attacks were made, but l'Ktonos was ever aware that eyes were upon him. Soon an all out assault was made. A horde of strong warriors attacked him in an empty tunnel. He fought long and hard, but though he possessed great magic and even greater fighting skills, it was clear this fight would go to the enemy. However, due to (un)certain circumstances, l'Ktonos was spared. How this came about remains a mystery, as he will not speak on the issue. Feeling an exile, he disowned his house and his race, and made his way above ground. There he found a harsh life. The sun hurt his dark skin, anyone he saw shunned him, and he could call no place home for long due to the Drow haters hunting him down. He made few friends, and those he did make distanced themselves from him. Eventually though, through many years, l'Ktonos found people willing to buy his skills for large prices. Assassinations grew in his wake, and soon he had quite a name for himself in the world of thieves, scoundrels and, of course, assassins. Eventually, l'Ktonos made his way back to his homeland and found them waiting for him. Not to kill him however, they were waiting to make him King. Apparently, Lloth herself had appeared to the High Priestess and told her of l'Ktonos connection to the goddess. The people were willing to do anything to find a ruler related to the Spider Queen, so when l'Ktonos came back, they accepted him immediatly. His former Matron was executed soon after.
Character Flaws: l'Ktonos has a tendency to jump into impossible battle situations which tend to get him hurt much of the time. Sunlight causes intense pain to course through his body so he is forced to wear a heavy cloak and hood in daytime or only go out at night.
Extra Information (optional) Weapons: A katana named Cornaul which glows blood red when enemies are near (only the weilder can see the glow) and a dagger with no name, but is adorned with a jeweled hilt and mystic runes on the blade. It pulses with a hidden power. Armor: Simple black, studded leather with overlapping adamantite chainmail. Items: The medallion from his house in his home city. A Drow piwafwi cloak, which helps l'Ktonos to hide in the shadows.
Battle Skills: Backstab Magic Power: Globe of Darkness, Blindness, Confusion, and Immobility
Family: l'Ktonos' father was killed in a great battle against the surface elves around 500 years ago. His mother and brother stayed behind in his home city. Whether they are living or not is unknown. Also, l'Ktonos has links that lead all the way to Lloth, Goddess of the Drow. It is assumed that much of his power derives from that connection.
| Beware, for in the darkness lurks many an enemy. You will be hard pressed to find a friend at your back, though a dagger is always waiting. |
