Aramis West

A recovering alcoholic and former assassin; Aramis West is an integral part of the Hindenburg Ground Crew and Ajax Silverblade's right hand man. He is a former member of the Twelve, and helped the party bring down this twisted group of assassins before helping in the war against Kyuss. 
Since the fall of Kyuss; Aramis has helped Bristan set up a more noble thieves guild based in in Hindenburg. 
== History ==
The classic story of any anti-hero, an orphan and street urchin taken in by an organisation of assassins and trained as one of their own until a crisis of conscious struck him and he turned on his former friends. 
In the case of Aramis he was trained by the mysterious half-elf Hennet and the vampiric half-dragon Dracolik; both were members of the Twelve Assassins; who were hiding out in the city of Oxenbridge. His crisis of conscious struck when he witnessed his two mentors level an orphanage simply to take out one of its wardens. Aramis leapt into action and tried to subdue his two former mentors. In the ensuing fight Aramis managed to impale Dracolik through the heart; but Hennet escaped into the darkness.  
Fleeing Zingherra for fear of The Twelve and Hennet, Aramis took to the adventuring life and to the drink.
Years later, hearing that the Hindenburg Ground Crew were going after The Twelve, Aramis tracked them down eventually becoming an honoree member and Ajax Silverblade’s right hand man. 
After helping the vanquish the Twelve; Aramis helped the party unite the warring houses of Awbor, to raise an army to fight against the forces of Kyuss. 
During the Battle of Awbor, Aramis worked as a lookout atop Caldor Castle; moving the party and key fighters around the city to help against the swarm of Kyuss' forces. 
Once the forces of Kyuss had been routed from Awbor; Aramis and Bristan paid off or removed - non-lethally - the various thieves guilds of Caldor and Zingherra, so that they could set up a more noble thieves guild; with ties to the Hindenburg Ground Crew. 
While no longer an alcoholic, he often wonders what became of Hennet; and whether they will ever meet again.
== Abilities ==
Aramis is a master assassin; both adept at hand to had fighting with his twin short swords and at range with his hand crossbows. He is a reasonable spellcaster and a master at the art of disguise, thievery and sabotage. 
== Trivia ==
Aramis West is definitely 'not' loosely based on Artemis Entreri. Well maybe a little. Though only in appearance and being an assassin; Aramis' personality, goals and general demeanor are quite different. Category:Characters
