Breem Velafi

Breem Velafi is a character first mentioned in "Gather Round the Campfire", but first seen in "Soldiers of Silver Part 7". He is the father of Markus Velafi, and a former butler to the Tannhauser royal family.
== History ==
Breem once served as the butler directly serving the King of Tannhauser, and was very proud of his work and diligent in his duties, not even making much time for his own son, although evidently still having time to make cardboard cut outs of himself, cardboard cut outs of himself with voice boxes, and the mastering of the skill to pretend to be cardboard cut outs of himself with voice boxes, a skill which Markus would learn to see through and would retain many years later.
Sometime after this, following the fall of The Clock Tower, Breem was relocated to the Tannhauser Military mountain base to use his alchemical skills to aid in the study of Celestial Silver, a mysterious substance that would go on to be used to create the "Angels". He was knighted some time during his stay, before promptly being put in captivity. He was later found in a magical circle, along with the severed head of one of the "Angels". He later met Gregor Hartway, who, after an unsuccessful attempt between the two of them to feign Breem's illness and get them out, was freed using Gregor's unique pandimensional sight.
== Appearance ==
Breem is an older tiefling, with long dirty blond hair, brown eyes, long ram-like horns, as well as a red pointed tail. He wears glasses, as well as bearing a thin moustache and cleft chin. He wears black and red clothing, similar to the colors of the Tannhauser Military, with black dress shoes. He shares a thin noodle-like frame with his son, Markus, and is stated to be "even more flacid" than him. 
== Personality ==
Markus once described Breem as a strict man, with a focus on proper work ethic, taking his work as a butler and an alchemist incredibly seriously and being very proud of said work. However, while he is indeed proud and focused on his work, much like his son, he seems to have a flair for the theatric, seen by his somewhat extravagant speech and enthusiasm for acting, additionally enjoying playing pranks as evident by his cardboard cutouts. As Markus now notes, he has changed since they last met and largely for the better, and has acknowledged that his son has done the same. 
== Abilities ==
Not much of Breem's abilities have been seen yet, however they are likely in some way similar to Markus', seeing as they are both Tieflings. He is also skilled in alchemy.
Some of his abilities include:
* Transmogrifying into a rug
* The Dark Scouring
** The Dark Scouring seems to be a 'family trademark' of the Velafi family, with it being the base for Markus' eldritch blast. He had to heavily modify it for it to be useful in combat; ordinarily, it serves as a powerful cleaning method.
== Relationships ==
=== Markus Velafi ===
Breem was absent for much of his son's childhood, however raised him to try and be a proper servant to the royal family. He also played various pranks on him, such as transmogrifying into a rug, resulting in Markus stepping on his horns, as well as tricking him with his various cardboard cutout based tricks. However, beyond all this, Breem genuinely cared for his son, seeking to simply provide the best life he could. Following their reunion decades later, Breem discovered Markus was happy, and the foolishness that Markus displayed had ultimately saved the most important thing in Breem's life: Markus himself. With a parting hug, the two went their seperate ways once again, their relationship rectified.
