    My character's name is: Jhonny Blave

    Jhonny Blave started out as a small-time thief, (known as Spite by his employers.) in a large town, however, after he "acquired" what he had thought to be nothing more than jewels, he was forced to flee the city with his small 8 year old daughter, due to the fact that the jewels were really powerfull artifacts of Helm. He approached an old friend of his, a fourtune teller, for advice, she used tarot cards to read his future, and found that by continuing to flee, he would bring forth only death. Instead of listening to his friend's prediction, he continued to run from the authorities.

    Soon he and his daughter came across a few followers of Hoar. Jhonny quickly took advantage of their battle-hardiness and appealed to their sense of honor to escort him to the next town. They started to do this, but after one of them saw his pack, (the jewels were concealed within,) he claimed there was a shortcut through some old dwarven mines nearby.

    Jhonny and his daughter, Becca. Were beaten nearly to death by the Hoarans, three days into their journey through the mines. After calling his daughter "the spawn of evil" and retrieving his pack of diamonds, the two Hoarans left him and his daughter in the dark mines.

    That night, Drow came and kidnapped Jhonny and his daughter, He was forced to watch as they sacrificed his daughter to Lolth, and his face was massacred with their daggers. He was thrown into a cage, and was to be shipped to the Drow slave pen the next day.

    Jhonny had been able to retrieve one of the daggers while his face was being cut by several of the Drow priestess'. Falling deep into madness due to the loss of his daughter, Jhonny forgot about his previous life, and stuck with the one name he could remember: Spite.

    Spite picked the lock to his cell, and moved silently among each of the followers of Lolth, cutting their throats as he did so. His dagger was speaking to him, telling him that, "All religion must be cut away so that Becca can come out and play." Spite fled from the small Drow settlement, and soon stumbled across a small city of escaped slaves called "Sanctuary."

    Spite was soon being payed for killing people in their sleep, but due to his very madness, he stopped doing this when he met Clara. Clara was very much like his daughter, so much, in fact, that he believed that she was, and that the only reason she couldn't recognize him, was because of the scars on his face. He decided to go by the name of, "Jhonny Blave" a name less dark for her sake, and began to protect her from aspiring and cheating lovers, and from the mob of thugs who hated her. This went on for some time, until a group of pirates captured her and brought her to their fortress.

    Spite was livid with anger. He made off to the fortress with two kegs of alchemist fire, certain that he could save her. He recruited to his cause what he thought was a paladin of Tyr. He decided that he would give the gods a chance, since they had brought his Becca back. The paladin soon turned on him, however, and revealed himself as a follower of Cyric. "Sorry friend, he said, but I have no use for you." This was said before Spite was stabbed in the chest.

    Spite woke up to see a kindly old woman above him, He got up and looked at his chest to see a massive scar. "Almost killed you that wound," said the old woman, "but thanks to Tyr Iv'e fixed you up right." Spite promptly killed the old woman and ran out of her small hut after grabbing a map the woman had made of that section of the underdark. After looking at it, he found what seemed to be a way out of the dark place, deciding that Clara was dead, he decided he would return to the surface for the time being, and begin the true cleansing there.

    Spite was in Narfell, and decided that he would again take up his alias of, "Jhonny Blave." But to friends and those that employed him, he would be known as "Spite".
