Warwick Windbow

**Warwick Windbow** is the changeling rogue of the party in The Curse of Strahd.

## Appearance

Warwick wears a black cloak with silver ornaments and a hood. He also wears a mask revealing his ashen skin and dark eyes. He has black hair with white tips on the ends.

## Personality

Warwick is very distrusting because people distrust him for his heritage as a changeling. He tends to stay away from taverns except his favorite one. Being a changeling, he calls the sun the phoenix star.

That being said he loves thrills so he causes trouble on purpose to get a thrill as long as he can escape in one piece.

He's also always looking for a profit and it mostly leads to detriment. He doesn't believe in faith because reality is harsh and cruel.

The first time he experiences fear is at the Witch's Windmill.

## Early Life

Warwick didn't have a very nice childhood.

After years of training in the guild, Warwick eventually became an assassin. He did odd jobs for various clients including the militia. He did spend a lot of time at one tavern similar to the Blue Water Inn in Vallaki called the Den of 20 Thieves which was a paradise for assassins.

He continued killing people for the right price until the Crimson Sorrow hit one of his targets. He felt cheated that he was denied his payment because a plague killed his next meal. When he went back to collect the payment, his clients and those in the tavern of that town were gone. So he decided to move on.

## Abilities

Warwick is able to check for traps and use his rapier to strike down enemies. He also has a shortbow to strike down foes from afar.

Being a trained, changling, assassin, he knows how to shadow-step and change into other people.

## Relationships

### Edmund Edmer

Warwick thinks of Edmund as a big stick in the mud near the start of the adventure. He gets lectured by the paladin whenever he does something that does not agree with the rest of the group.

They do share an understanding about upholding their own morals though. He also finds the paladin's ability to have faith in a faithless land is fascinating.

### Salem Perdurado

Warwick and Salem understand that taking a life means sparing countless others. And while Warwick is unnerved about Salem raising the dead he's ultimately fine with it.

### Sorin Firewing

Warwick and Sorin Firewing haven't interacted much.

### Talice Tewin

Warwick and Talice have an antagonistic relationship. They get into arguments either involving money or battle plans. They also enjoy themselves when the other person is in misery.

### Kvak

Warwick gains an interest in Kvak's abilities because it's the first animal to not rat him out to an enemy.

### Jade Roderika

Jade is the first to notice Warwick's antisocial nature and is the first to get him to open up, even if it is slightly. She does ask about if the people Warwick kills deserve to die but he never thought about it.

After a while, he becomes confident enough in Jade to show her his true face and even wants her to follow her own path just like he did.

### Krik

After an initial staredown, Warwick began liking Krik.

After sharing a few battles with the half orc, Warwick trusts him enough to tell him about prejudice against changelings. Eventually it forms into respect.

### Madame Eva

Being a changeling, he instantly recognized Madame Eva. He's come to her with magical questions and such.

### Wendy Windbow

Warwick dislikes Wendy Windbow and compares her to a worse version of himself.
