## Appearance

Typically a little unkempt, Tassos is a slim, tapered-eared Khoravar with smooth, dark skin and light brown eyes that seem to tint yellow in changing lighting. His dark, dull brown hair is thick and unruly, usually wrestled into a flat cap, and his chin sports a messy bunch of scruff.

Built small, he dresses in often ill-fitting button downs and vests, pulling the collars open in pleasant company to display the Mark on his chest--a swirling, natural pattern over the sternum that burns a bright white-yellow, like a small sun shining through cracks in his skin.

His ‘armor’ is a simple affair--two thick pads of leather strapped to his thighs, and a jerkin thrown over his shirt with a sturdier belt.

## Hooks

-- Caiston. *Everyone* there knows his name, his face, and his mark. Everyone. And they’re all very well armed and prepared for trouble. Perks of being a border town. There may be those who sympathize, but he definitely caused a stir.

-- Incidents. He’s not perfect, and he prefers to be honest to his detriment. There are a few business owners and craftsmen in Sharn and on the road down who’ve kicked him out or called the guards for various Mark-related reasons. Brelish towns are hit or miss on whether he’ll be welcomed or not.

-- Callestan. He does odd work in his neighborhood, and has found a welcoming few establishments and even glimpsed an Aberrant or two in the crowd on occasion. The name Tarkanan has reached him, but he’s wary of aligning himself with a gang in the back-and-forth turf wars of the district.

-- Caitriona. A Swords of Liberty cell leader, now behind bars with a burned arm and side. Tassos found friends among the local guard who appreciate ‘a lad willing to get his hands dirty,’ and distant recognition by a very few Daask and Boromar. The look the woman gave him when she was being brought in, though, has him… anxious, to say the least.

## History

Hailing from Caiston, a much disputed border town between Breland and Thrane, Tassos is the son of a human mother and Khoravar father. Farmers with a humble plot to their name, the couple has had four children, of which Tass is the third--Two older brothers and one younger sister. Tassos was apprenticed to the town’s clothier, learning the trade from her and training with his eldest brother in preparation for the day he’d go to war as both brothers had.

After the Mourning, in those tense uncertain days, soldiers came to town armed and rowdy. Thinking them Thranes, the townsfolk went through their all too common routine--militia armed up and civilians hid away. Tassos and his sister were herded into the home by their mother, while the father and eldest took their middle sibling out to his first confrontation.

But the soldiers who marched on Caiston wore Brelish blue when they arrived. They demanded supplies, and spat on talk of fair trade. The militia was little trouble to them, outmatched and some reluctant to fight against their own soldiers, and the soldiers took to the farms quickly--threatening, coercing, and tearing away the harvest from those who sheltered there.

Tassos doesn’t remember much. Armored hands on his mother’s arms, his sister Hana huddled in the corner, and the bright, \*burning\* white light. His Mark etched itself on his chest, a soldier lay dead on the floor, Hana cradled her arm to her chest.

He ran, and when he returned home days later, his father drove him away with a blade in hand. His belongings and a light purse were left on the porch that night, and a scribbled, tearstained note held a hasty apology from someone.

Tassos spent the years after wandering, taking what work he could to stay on his feet and keep moving. He settled in Sharn after the Treaty was signed, hoping he could lose himself in the crowd, and maybe find a path forward.

### The Last War

Tass’ family was shaped by the war--hard-working and dedicated to Breland, with an opinion or two about the Thranes who encroached regularly. His father and eldest brother Janus served in skirmishes, and Carter was to be a medic before the Mourning threw off operations. Tassos never got his chance, as it were. Roaming soldiers lacking orders in the wake of the disaster agitated his Aberrant Mark and threw his life off the rails.

### Invitation

The days after the kidnapping of mobster Drag’s daughter were a chaotic mess all across the city. Gangs on alert, Wayfinders losing limbs, and Sharn Watch fumbling to capture the Swords of Liberty after the action. One such chase came down to the Lower City, where the Aberrant Caitriona found few friends. Jumping in on an impulse, Tassos aided in her arrest with a rather... showy burst of Aberrant magic, cutting her off and allowing for the Watch to catch up.

The clash caught the eye of a few local papers with little context, and in the coming weeks the public consciousness pieced together the connection to Daask and Boromar’s troubles. Rather than wait for the fuss to die down, he leapt on the exposure, leveraging it to make tenuous connections in the city. One such, the only adventuring guild not rearing far away from him, was the Wayfinder Foundation. He scrounged up enough gold to take the rail up to Fairhaven, and began talks with the Trustees over his… unique situation.

### Experience

Tassos is a farmboy who vaguely knows one end of a blade from the other. His general ‘experience’ is in self preservation and common sense, and his self-trained abilities channeled through his Mark.

Tassos still loses control sometimes, under intense pressure, but he has shown that he can be trusted in typical battle and other action.

### Motivation

Purpose, really. Tassos has no family and no home anymore, and Sharn is a harsh place especially for someone like him. He’s had his share of incidents with folk who take issue, but the way the papers talk about Sharn’s Wayfinders? That’s where he can put his abilities to use.

### Future Goals

See the world. Find his place. Make friends.

That’s it.

### Secrets

He’s certain it was his Mark that injured Hana. He knows it’ll never fully heal. He doesn’t speak of it, ever.

### Enemies

Caitriona, currently safely locked up on numerous charges.

## Personality

Tassos is careful, polite, but scatter-brained and emotional beneath the surface. He has a genuine love for the dirtier side of Sharn, even if it doesn't care much for him, and finds comfort in the safe corner of Callestan he’s carved out. He looks to the sparkling upper levels with unease and uncertainty.
