Caerbannog

### Details

Caerbannog is a Leoprin Warlock from Weald, whose patron Barret O'Mirr. Caerbannog appears to suffer from kleptomania, stealing anything he thinks he can get away with - carrots in particular. He carries multiple weapons on his person, including a rapier, two daggers, and a sling - weapons that have rarely seen combat, as he favors the use of his spells.

Favoring large and concealing outfits; he often wears a smuggler's longcoat with many pockets, and a conical wizard hat, within which he can hide his ears if he so wishes.

### The Fifth Order

After a few games of cards with Naebalar and Nowen, as well as a game of hammerball in the village square, Caerbannog was wrapped up in the adventures of The Fifth Order. When the town he was in - Millethill - was attacked by riders, Caerbannog elected to hide in a nearby garden box. Once the riders had passed and one of them was unhorsed, he decided to leave the garden and chase after the loose horse. After many failed attempts and nearly a hundred yards of chasing after the horse, he elected to fire his eldritch blast at it; which immediately killed it. He removed the saddle and drug it back to the village square, showing the party the bat-like insignia on the side.

On the 12th of Kadern, 1444, Caerbannog decided to join the tournament in Rankein along with the rest of the Fifth Order. He scored extremely well in archery, winning both the bouts he entered into and scoring 5 points.

As the Fifth Order was preparing to fight in their final bout, Caerbannog noticed fog beginning to trickle out of a bronze mirror on the wall. Time then froze around him and a man with bright green eyes in an ochre robe stepped through. Out of fright, Caerbannog launched an eldritch blast at the man, who caught it and smiled. It was Barret O'Mirr, come to inform Caerbannog that his contact, Mercer Mordhau, would be arriving in the city soon. After he left, time resumed as normal and the rest of the Fifth Order didn't seem to notice what happened.

Caerbannog won 25gp after helping win in the final "big team battle." Total points were 7, which made him the highest scoring archer in Rankein.

Whilst drinking at the West Side Inn in Rankein, Caerbannog noticed three mercenaries watching him, and one included a bald elf with the tips of his ears cut. The Fifth order confronted the men and Caerbannog managed to slip out the side door and hide in a barrel in the alleyway. The mercenaries left out the front of the building and hid in the same alleyway, where they confronted the Fifth Order again. Grym's footsoldiers arrived and a battle broke out in the mouth of the alley. Caerbannog continued to hide but shot eldritch blasts from the hole of the barrel at the bald elf. Later, when the mercenaries and footsoldiers fled, the bald elf looked inside the barrel to find that Caerbannog had taken the form of a naked homeless man. The elf didn't recognize him and continued to flee.

During their ride to The Eisenfort after the brawl, Caerbannog elected to remain in naked homeless form, running behind the horses and drawing many confused looks from onlookers. He also remained in this form for the duration of the conversation with Kylon, Aldo, and Theodoric.

### Skills/Spells

Caerbannog is known for his stealth, though he often gets caught when attempting slights of hand; a skill in which he is not nearly as proficient. He also favors eldritch blast above all other tools when in combat. Other utility skills include his ability to change appearance at will, and the arcane gift to read all forms of writing and speech; ancient, modern, and code.

### Backstory

For the early part of his life Caerbannog lived in the world of Weald - a technologically advanced society that reveres nature and the latent energy therein - with his parents and sixteen siblings. After loosing his way and finding a mysterious subterranean portal, Caerbannog was spirited to Exnilion, where he joined with Barret O'Mirr, who promised to take him home. Barret enlisted Caerbannog in his Veridium smuggling operation, promising to someday send Caerbannog back.
