Algrim Shadowstep

Algrim Shadowstep is a male drow executioner in the League of Whispers at the age of 90. He originates from the Underdark. He is unaligned. He worships the Raven Queen. 
==Backstory==
My name is Algrim Shadowstep. I was originally a drow prince in the Underdark, but, unlike other drow, I was brought up to respect the other races, and shun the hatred of Lolth. The other powerful drow families hated us, and one day they murdered my family. I escaped with my life, but realised that taking revenge would be too dangerous for me. I decided to escape to Nerath and forge my name for myself.
I realised that the prejudice against my race was too high for me to take a lawful job, and decided to train as an assassin. I was trained by Thoroar Silvertouch and Nyyssa Ratko, but when Thoroar's exile ended, Nyyssa abandoned me. I had heard of the infamous League of Whispers, so joined them to finish my training.
I killed many targets on behalf of the Grandfather, and was feared by many. Although they didn't know my name, they called me "the Shadow" due to my way of getting in, killing the target, and getting out, completely unnoticed. However, I realised that there was something linking my targets. I found worrying information in nearly all of my targets' personal files. Files that lead to me realising a conspiracy. A conspiracy to kill my mentors son. Thofire Silvertouch.
I am now running outside of the League of Whispers' jurisdiction, trying to warn Thofire of the imminent threat to his life. A threat which originated with the Darkeyes themselves.

==Trivia==
*Although Algrim usually dislikes elves and eladrin (Since they are often extremely racially prejudiced against him), he is quite good friends with Eraamion Firaal. Although they had a bad start, they came to respect each other after they fought together in battle.
*Algrim trusts Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. Not only does he admire the half-orc's strength in battle, but the paladin also gave Algrim his shield to guard him from some hail while onboard the air-ship.
*Algrim is the oldest person in the party, at 91.
*Algrim had an almanac in which he transcribes the adventures that he has experienced with the party, but he can't be arsed to write in it any more.
