William Batharian (cousin)

Samantha (daughter)

A young elven bard from the noble Shenzari house, in the kingdom of Karplis, far to the north

## Overview

### **Physical Appearance**

Atharian has long pale-blond hair which he usually has tied into a braid and golden eyes. He has a slightly feminine face and body shape which often makes people think he's a female, though he is 100% male. He stands about 5'11" and walks mostly with a spring in his step.

He tends to wear a gray shirt and pants with a purple and blue coat, gloves, and boots. He also almost always carries his lute with him.

### **Personality**

Outgoing, personable. He tries to be a gentleman and smooth conversations, but he also likes to have fun and enjoy his life. He doesn't seek out physical relationships like your typical bard, but he doesn't always say "no" if offered.

He doesn't like the undead and hates being called a female to his face. He is decently intelligent, but mostly due to his age and not to being the most booksmart person.

### **Talents and Skills**

He is a bard and loves to sing and write music. He doesn't do it for money for fame - although that is a side benefit, he does it because it's fun. He is also a skilled painter although he doesn't talk about those skills often.

## Biography

### **History**

Born in kingdom of Karplis to Ava and Jhaal Shenezari, Atharian was raised in a place where necromancy wasn't just common, but expected of those of noble birth. Atharian never had any interest in necromancy, instead wanting to play music instead so at the age of 83, he decided to leave home and travel the world.

He met Grobyc when he was around 100 years of age and the two ended up joining a group called the Order of the Boxfish. He fought many battles while working under the order, and even became a general, leading his own army against the tyrannical group called Mira.

### Present

Atharian awoke with Vlad, Grobyc, and a half elf named Yunon with no memory of the last 20 years. He and his companions decided to figure out what happened to them. The discovered the group called Mira who was trying to take over the world. They ventured many times to try stopping them before realizing they were outnumbered and tried settling down for a couple months.

This was not to be as eventually the town they were residing in was attacked by Mira, which also ended in the death of Yunon. They then met up with an agent of the Order of the Boxfish who brought them to their moon base. The Kings of Chaos tried following many leads until eventually ending up in trouble and on the run from the Order as well. Now on their own, Atharian and the party set out to try putting a stop to Mira without help from any other organization.

Their first lead was to try heading to Atharian's family to revive a gnome Atharian accidentally killed while interrogating. They were told about a place called "Dagger Skull" where Draxion Lightfoot, leader of both Mira and the Order of the Boxfish is said to reside. No one in the town Jhaal and Ava lived knew any information about "Dagger Skull" so Atharian suggested they ask his cousin, William Batharian.

William gave the party information on how to get to Daggerfall and the group set out. During their journey, Vlad and Atharian met Flormgin, a tortel warlock who decided to join them. Now with their new companion, the three set out for the teleportation circle.

After buying supplies from the locals as they were about to head for Wisdom X Mountains, they encountered a young half-elf by the name of Samantha who is one of Atharian's illegitimate children. She agreed to travel with the group, giving them her expertise in hunting. Flormgin left the party shortly after.

Eventually, the party made it to Draxion's castle where they confronted and killed him, taking over his castle. Only to find out he might not actually be dead, and has instead become a Lich, his body reviving somewhere far off.
