Varis

PC Backstory Notes:"My character is Varis Nailo, a half-elf arcane trickster rogue. He was born and raised in the city of Istanople, where he lived a relatively normal childhood. His parents were merchants who made a decent earning, and Varis was able to attend a local magic academy during his adolescent years. However, Varis always had a bit of a mischievous streak, and couldn't help but participate in shady doings in the city. During the day he would study the arcane arts, while at night he did his real learning: cracking locks and picking pockets. In his teenage years, Varis was eventually kicked out of the academy after being caught trying to break in at night. With nothing more to gain in Istanople, and an urge to explore the world, Varis set out from home in the dead of night. After wandering the Lower Kingdom for a few months, he found himself in Asyut, where he became affiliated with the Scorpion Bandits. After getting into their good graces, he became one of their Sporicin dealers, and eventually became quite close with Ralavaz. It was during this time that Varis met Hapu, a halfling that bought from him. They would meet up from time to time and trade their stories. Varis was never particularly fond of being a Sporicin dealer, and came to disapprove of the way the Gang treated the citizens of Asyut. When he heard about Ralavaz's idea to weaponize the drug, he voiced his disapproval. Their argument became violent, and Varis lost his right eye in the scuffle, before he was able to escape.""Varis has always hoped to become a great thief, and wants Hapu to spread his tale when he commits his great heists. Not only do they find Padubast and his goal of rescuing Cheops to be an opportunity for adventure, but a chance for him to get back at Ralavaz as well."
