## **Biography**

### **Background**

Born into the famed Rè clan in the Ryujin Dominion, Rè-long is a youthful dragonborn who spent much of his childhood causing trouble and mischief. Tired of his insolence and selfishness after one antic too many, his family exiled him, unwilling to accept him as one of them any longer; he was never to return unless he grew as a person and proved he'd turned around his ways.

Devastated after being abandoned by the ones who had raised him, Rè was lost; he had little knowledge of and felt unsafe in a world where he was no longer the big fish. For a time, he stumbled down a darker path in his vie for survival, dabbling in banditry and the cutthroat life as he trekked Tejiro in search of a better self. However, he was eventually exposed and promptly imprisoned after attacking the wrong person; he chose to join the Praesidium rather than be executed for his crimes. Beginning to train to become a righteous paladin, Rè was now determined to find his way in life and be accepted once more by his family.

Years later, Rè was allowed to leave his post to continue his journey of self-growth and also pursue his new goal of becoming a full-fledged paladin. He set out at once, now traversing Sphaera with newfound purpose.

### **Meeting of Heroes**

Rè, being an old drinking buddy of Gundren Rockseeker, accepted his job offer to escort a wagon from Vis to Phandalin; here, he met Illieth Norawaui, Malekith Darkridge and Ulrice. Along with them, he cleared out Crigmaw Cave to save Sildar Hallwinter, delivering a dramatic kick to Yokmok, who promptly fell down a deep pit.

In Phandalin,

### **Notable Items**

* The (not) magic stick: A stick sold to Rè at Barthen's Provisions; he believes it to have immense magical power. He eventually marked the grave of Droop with it, a gift of which he considered the highest honour.
* The (unnecessary) eyepatch: An eyepatch outlined in small golden studs that Rè stole from a bugbear in Tresendar Manor after a blackjack game gone wrong. Rè doesn't need an eyepatch, but he wore it with pride... that is, until it was stolen by Viidoskul. Malekith Darkridge later retrieved it from the dragon's hoard by sneaking in as a snake.
