Tamhas Zamfir

==Backstory==
Tamhas Zamfir is reviled by many, and loved by few. Most of it is due to his family's reputation, but if his personal activities were proven to be more than rumors, he'd likely catch the attention of many figures in power. Having a rather lonely upbringing as a noble, his absent father and uncaring mother left him wanting for attention - so his considerable intellect was directed into magical study. What he found was...most interesting. After a fit of rage where he broke a vase, the young mage felt his power surge as blood dripped down his fingers, awakening an odd...hunger that he couldn't explain. Tamhas delved even further into his family's history, combing through historical records, legends, and accounts at the time, and found out the reason for his family's mysterious power which he thought was just a myth - the pact. His father finally noticed his growing arcane prowess, and encouraged he attend the Arcanamirium in Absalom to study further. With a considerable...donation to the university guaranteeing his attendance, Tamhas has currently taken up residence in Absalom, studying and improving his magic, and searching for more artifacts and pieces of his family's history.
==Appearance==
Tamhas, like the rest of his family, is quite attractive. His red hair sparkles like freshly washed garnet, and his eyes burn like fire opals, and being rather flashy, he shows off his body by covering it in glistening golden jewlery and gems. Even the leggings he wears seem to have gold woven into the fibers, to the gloves he's wearing. 
==Personality ==
Tamhas is incredibly eloquent, and while somewhat eccentric and awkward, his intelligence serves him well in navigating many social situations. While not easy to provoke, when he is mad, it's best to clear out of his way, as he lashes out at anything and everything around him, bitter and cold. Otherwise, he's actually quite a respectful person - and even any nefarious actions he takes will always be performed with the utmost politeness and courtesy when possible.
==House Zamfir ==
One of the eldest of a long line of noble houses hailing from Ustalav, House Zamfir is known for their members' considerable magical abilities - and rather more interesting tastes in cuisine, of the vampiric variety to be exact. House Zamfir has called these accusations "rumors" and "outrageous", but their family's powerful magic in reality stems from a blood pact made with Lorcan a thousand years ago, by a man lusting for power. The pactmaker, Niklas Zamfir, was cursed with vampirism in exchange, but his family's bloodline ran strong with magic - blood magic to be exact. Many in the family are powerful sorcerers, and others seem to gain strange benefits from using blood in their spells or...consuming it for sustenance. Their source of wealth is a collection of precious gem mines that yield quite a profit, and if you buy a wedding ring at a jewler's anywhere near Ustalav, chances are - it's a Zamfir diamond your wife is wearing.
