## Biography

### Early Life

The only information on Rev's early life is that he is originally from Mortigny and when he was about 14 years old he caught the gnaw while out after lockdown. After surviving the gnaw thanks to the treatment by the late Dr. Temator. Afterwards Rev dedicated his life in helping the doctor with finding a cure to the gnaw by scavenging gear throughout the vacated homes of Mortigny. In doing so he has had to go out during lockdown and has been hunted by the Casques Silencieux. He bumped into a strange pale individual who told him to head to the sewers which lead him to the awkward meeting of the Grave Matters Detective Agency.

Later on Cantarella finds out through the Gazing God that in his childhood Rev was used by his mother to test out strange creatures she would find throughout the dread domains. This left him scared and fearful of almost all people.

### Background: Urban Bounty Hunter

To survive the city of Mortigny, Rev gathers supplies that is left by the government throughout the city. He also completes contracts of killing of large beasts in the sewers and around the swamps. This has helped with his intel of the city and get in good with individuals of all levels.

### Gloomstalker/Twilight Cleric

Rev has a strange connection to darkness, he is capable of completely vanishing from sight when hidden within it. When attacking from the darkness he is inhumanly fast and he brings it with him in his assault. He uses it to his advantage, but just like everything else, he fears it, but is also learning to trust the being.

After leaving his domain, He has built a relationship of sorts with the Lightless King. After saving his life he has gained respect for them.

## Relationships

### Pritchard Graves

Rev knows little about "Pritchy" except hes kind of in charge, kind of smart, and always angry. Pritchy confides in Rev that the agency will need his help in guidance through the lands of Richemulot since they are from a completely different world apparently. Rev enjoys watching Pritchy argue with Cantarella because its so obvious they dig each other. After the death of Alphie Rev has grown closer with Pritch, though with his memory loss he doesn't know how to treat the situation knowing that exposing the truth could lead to the deaths of other party members.

### Cantarella

There are many dangerous creatures and beings that Rev makes it a priority to stay off the radar of and Cantarella is around the top of that list. When first meeting the woman he thought her a noble lost in the sewers and has slowly learned there is much more to the dhampir. He tries to keep his distance at all times. Though still fearful of her, after pulling him from the Lightless Kings control and watching his memories he has a feeling that the Dhampir is not much different from him. Still though, he keeps his distance.

### Cordelia LaMonte

Thinking her at first to be Alphie's loyal servant, Rev is shocked to find out the intelligent Tiefling to be scientist of sorts and thinks her mind to be the key to finding a cure to the gnaw. He appreciates her high levels of optimism; however fears that she may use him as a guinea pig more often than not if he isn't careful. Certain revelations have brought Rev to keeping an eye on the motivated artificer, in fear of worse happening to others. Her actions remind him too much of the greatest monster in all of the dread domains. Though through her he could possibly figure out what makes people like them tick.

### Remy DeLafosse

Thought it strange that a bard would want to visit such a dreary city of Mortigny , Rev thought him a safe normal ally. Until learning of a death dealing loot and the summoning of ghosts. After quickly catching and then surviving the gnaw Rev is completely clueless of what Remy could be. After the encounter with the plague piper and Remy's reaction to the flute put some distance between them. After learning of Pritch's memory loss and Remy's absence from the house, he has gained more respect for the bard.

### Alphie Graves

The first meeting with Alphie involved the cleric being swarmed by rats, complaining of feeling ill, and lying to Rev to hide some sort of secrets of the detective Agencies house. Needless to say Rev trust Alphie less than he fears Cantarella. He at least respects how he treats his assistant Cordelia as she seems to work extremely hard for him. He regrets not being able to help find a cure before his death. And feels obligated to bring justice for his death. He knows Alphony isn't the real Alphie but gets along well with him strangely enough.

#### Morryn Riverbrook

Rev had his meet-cute with the druid after a literal falling out with his baby brother Nigel. The Croakers ran into the ranger during their night at the Masquerade. Though the entire night is hazy to him he remembers a hedge-maze, the taste of moss, and a pinky promise. Once the haze left him he had a mushroom attached to his shoulder and he was extremely itchy. But he still remembers the pinky promise.

#### Clyde Brooks

Rev's shadow mastif, birthed from the clyde that latched onto Rev's shoulder and a splash of the Lightless King's touch. The best and goodest of boys Clyde is Rev's greatest companion and the most wholesome and innocent member of the Grave's Detective Agency. He can do no wrong and loves snacks.

## Equipment and Gear

Rev wears scale mail to protect him from rat and beast bites. He carries a light crossbow but prefers to slice up rats with his dual cutlasses.

Recently Rev received upgrades to his cutlasses. One was infused with magic thanks to Cordelia. The other was given just one drop of a black liquid that came out of a strange vial he was given by Pritchy. It now has a dark and chilling essence that only Rev can see and to everyone else is completely invisible. The "Shadow Blade is a 1d8 blade that does 1 d6 of ice damage. The cutlass infused by Cordelia is a +1 cutlass.

The black vial is still on Rev's person and calls to him in a strange way.
