Vesper Shadeson's Description[edit]

Vesper is an 8th level Rogue (Swashbuckler). He is short and slim at 5' 1" tall. He usually wears a large brimmed hat and a cape (red on the inside, midnight blue on the outside). His is a Tiefling with black-blue skin, flaming red hair, and a long tail that ends in a spade shape.

Vesper's Backstory[edit]

Vesper grew up in a conclave of Tieflings. He was taught the virtues of a good life. He was content until he reached the age of ten. At ten he was struck with wanderlust and ran away from home. He headed for the closest town that he knew of. Outside the town he saw a cleric surrounded by the local militia demanding a "tax" from the cleric. Full of himself and self-righteous, he came to the aid of the cleric. Between him and the cleric, who was unexpectedly a cleric of War, soon defeated the guard. The cleric thanked Vespar and gifted him with a scimitar (taken from the faithless guards), a blessing of the war god, and some good advice to seek his fortune in a different town. Vespar took the advice to heart and headed for a different town. He soon found he had a talent for combat, and a heart for righting wrongs.

Vesper's Traits[edit]

Ideal. "I will always stand against what is wrong, if if the law does not support me."
Bond. "I will always remember the cleric and will do anything to support him or his church."
Flaw. Vesper prefers to do his good deeds with flair.
