Coming of the Raven

  • U

    Character name- Raven
    Account name- Uesugi

    The man known as Raven was born an orphan and grew up on the streets of Calimsham. Never knowing his parents, life on the streets became his teacher, and its lessons were hard, but effective. He quickly learnt the values of perception, and of how information could be more powerful that the mightiest warrior. Especially when combined with the third lesson, that what you know pales in comparison to who you know.

    He quickly took to the life of a rogue, surviving off the streets and learned the value of multiple disguises, whether to appear to be a beggar, or to a well groomed young man, and his prowess caught the eye of the Pasha at the time. Recruiting Raven into their ranks the Pasha took a personal interest in Raven and watched over his progress. Quickly rising up in the ranks he eventually made it into the Pasha's personal group of "made men". Raven became a prime interpreter for the Pasha, due to his knowledge of multiple different languages. During his time with the Pasha he learned several more, encompassing most of the languages one might hear in a city and among those who keep to the shadows.

    Things change rather quickly in Calimsham, especially in the underworld. Through a combination of lies, blackmail, deceit and murder Syl-Pasha Pasarkhal took control, and Raven knew that his safety and livelyhood were now in jeopardy since he was a member of the former Pasha's personal group. Using his ability to disguise himself he dropped everything and took the next caravan out of Calimsham. Wanting to get as far away as possible he hitched a ride on a caravan of gypsys that were heading northeast. Raven traveled with them for quite some time, gathering information as he went through various cities, and he thought of Waterdeep, but ruled that out. It would be more difficult to establish a new identity there.. and he might could still be found there, but he had heard of another place.. with a senate and an area ripe for corruption known as Peltarch, located in the realm of Narfell. "I will try my hand there", he thought. "It should be far enough away that I should be safe from former influences.. and there should be opportunity abound there. Perhaps even an opening in the government itself". Smiling as he thought of the new possibilities he pulled his cowl over his head and continued towards Narfell and Peltarch and a new life.
