Damron Sirha

*"I don't care if you're a god. No one. Touches. My f\*cking. Wife!"*

**Damron Sirha** is a member of the Adventurer's Guild.

## Appearance

6ft. Tall, Red skin, golden eyes, grey, slicked back undercut with a bit of black remaining at the temples. His horns emit a very faint golden glow, matching his eyes and the two piercings decorating his left eyebrow.

## Personality

Where in the beginning the Tiefling was known for his calm politesse, his rise through the ranks led to more and more of his nastier sides showing. Whether or not Damron will be nice to someone is usually decided within the first seconds of the conversation, and once the first impression was failed it is very difficult if not impossible to gain a good standing with him. Those who do however, find him a loyal and helpful friend.

## History

### Backstory

**Early days**

Born 1470 in Baldur's Gate Damron enjoyed a relatively stable childhood with his mother, in Baldur's Gate's Lower city. Starting from his early years he was being prepared for some unknown purpose, with his mother establishing a strict set of rules for different contingencies, giving him basic self defence training and teaching him the basics about the Nine Hells and the Lords of the Nine, including their own origin in Glasyas bloodline.

1482, on the eve of Damrons 12th birthday, his mother disappeared. A few days later he was picked up by Rabol Mov, a bounty hunter friend of Damron's mother and went on to live with him in the outer city.

**Running the Gate**

Despite his own claims to the contrary, Rabol was by no means a good teacher or guardian, leaving the young Tiefling mostly to his own devices. Still, Damron developed a certain aptitude for using intimidation to get the leads necessary for successful completion of his bounty contracts. Never a physically imposing figure the devilborn relied more on a careful choice of words to get his conversation partners to comply.

1489, while chasing a lead on a debtor for a local gang, Damron stumbled upon a long-abandoned building, containing the skeletal remains of multiple humanoids, including a Tiefling, and a black and red Greatsword. Upon picking up the blade he received a vision of his mothers desperate last stand against an unknown necromancer and heard the voice of the Raven Queen, offering him to serve her in exchange for power and the chance at revenge further down the line. Shortly thereafter he ran into his quarry, with the debtor taking a small girl as hostage and threatening to kill her if the bounty hunter won't back off. Enraged Damron unleashed his newfound powers, launching an Eldritch Blast at the hostage taker, but hitting the hostage by accident. He still managed to kill his bounty, turn in his head for a reward - and left Baldur's Gate, vowing to never come back.

**A new Family**

In 1490 he met up with Liabella Hercyne, a shy moon elf who immediately latched on to him, with the two developing a sibling relationship very soon. A year later they met Julianne Collechord, a half-elven Bard who joined the two in their travels as an off and on again companion.

### AG History

**Welcome to the Jungle**

Arriving in Phandelin with Liabella he joined the guild, only to take his first mission not a day after. Teleported to Chult for an arena fight, the young Hexblade helped his party dispatch the undead creatures they were pitted against and remained in Chult for the next few days. There he was reunited with Julianne, the Trio returning to Phandelin after the Death Curse was lifted, with Damron and Liabella taking up yet another mission to track down a stolen shipment of rare alcohol. Not a day later Damron accepted another Arena mission with 8 other Copper Ranked Guild members, surviving against overwhelming odds and earning his promotion to Silver in the process.

**Rising up**

Continuing to take on any mission he possibly can the Hexblade steadily grew in strength, seemingly pushing himself to aquire more power with disregard to his own well-being, accepting every mission he could. Having barely aquired the necessary means he purchased a house in Phandelin, with Julianne and Liabella moving in immediately. At the same time his outward calm turned more and more into a seeming indifference for everything that does not concern his immediate family, all the while his stance toward his patron began to shift away from his initial 'sellsword' attitude toward more direct reverence. During this time Damron started noticing subtle changes within himself, like his heartbeat significally slowing down at times, by chalked it up to coincedences.

**It's a trap!**

Following an argument with Liabella, in which some of Damrons buried insecurities about possibly being useless, were revealed he decided to leave the other two behind and run off to Baldur's Gate, only to run into an old enemy of his, who had been hired by Liabellas Father to abduct her. Despite the earlier argument he decided to follow the man and take him out, only to be captured and used as bait to lure Liabella to Baldur's Gate. Unfortunately for the mercenaries and the Canoloth summoned to take Liabella, the small rescue party proved more then enough to take the kidnappers out, with Damron personally delivering the finishing blow to the creature and succesfully intimidating the mercenary leader into going back to his employer and delivering a message: Next time he sends people after Lia, Damron would be coming for him personally. Returning to Phandelin Damron and Lia reconciled, both admitting to having made mistakes in the past, while Damrons relationship with Juli was still far from being mended.

**Striking gold**

After getting over his initial shock the red one started to feverishly put every possible effort into reconciling with Julianne, going to some rather big lengths to impress her, despite the actual argument being resolved very quickly. Along the lines some minor events, like the awakening of his sorcerous powers and their connection to the Shadowfell, legends of servants of the Raven Queen being tethered to the Shadowfell and mild PTSD from the torture experienced in Baldur's Gate, did a fair job on skewering his perspective, leading to him actually contemplating ensuring immortality for himself, Lia and Julianne. However he finally managed to regain most of his emotional control, enough to be successful on missions and obtain an Owlbear cub as a companion, as well as rising to Gold rank.

**No Rest for the Wicked**

Keeping busy in the gold rank he soon got the opportunity to join a mission to the Feywild, that would lead him away from home for a longer period of time. The Foray into the Fey ended up as a success, having him return far stronger and with more ressources. Not giving up on obtaining power he kept pushing on missions, achieveing Platinum within two days of his return. In his personal life he decided to take the plunge and propose to Julianne, with the Bard accepting the proposal and Damron quickly directing his energy toward wedding preparations.

**In The Shadows**

While he has pushed the thoughts about his pact with the Raven Queen toward the back of his head, th Raven Queen has not forgotten about her wayward warlock, sending an emissary to lead him into the Shadowfell on a personal errand. The Tiefling wandered off, not knowing what kind of trouble would befall his loved ones once he was away. During his Shadowfell trip he was granted a personal blade, containing the soul of his late mother, and given the chance for some belated vengeance in killing the Lich that had slain her. On his way back something happened however, with the Tiefling losing 58 days and most of his shadow sorcery, but gaining memories from different timelines of himself and some psionic abilities instead.

**The Storm That Is Approaching**

It took the Tiefling some days of settling back in and catching up with his loved ones before he set out on missions again, this time always accompanied by Julianne. Their first foray had them battle through a demonic gauntlet in the Abyss, ripping and tearing their way toward a particularily large and powerful hyena demon who was no match for them. Their next job alongside Layla and three other Platinums involved investigating a monster storm laying waste to the nothern parts of the continent. After battling through gargantuan yetis, Ice Golems and the like they came face to face with what was claimed to be a Talos-born Demigod. The Giant did a good job of keeping the platinums at bay, until making the fatal mistake of grievously wounding Juli, which caused Damron to drop any reservations he might have had and slice the supposed Demigod into small bite-sized pieces.

**Keep Calm and Slay**

With the wedding growing closer and closer Damron chose to go for a special gift. With Layla tracking down a dwarven goldsmith who was rumored to create unique jewelry of much higher caliber than anyone else in the Realms he set out to have this smith craft him a unique wedding ring that he could put on Julis finger. The dwarf agrees to the deal - if Damron and Layla clear out his forge from demonic Squatters, something the two handle with almost casual ease. With the Artifact "The Band that Ties" created Damron finally was ready to be wed to Juli. In a ceremony attended by all of their close friends they tied the knot and set out on a planes-hopping honeymoon

**Only in death...**

After a relatively calm and uneventful winter, Springtime came with a vengeance and a flurry of new missions. Joining a small expedition to help a guild member be reunited with her Mother, an undertaking Damron wholeheartedly supported due to his own past, the Tiefling continued his course of taking down creature multiple times his size. However, that was not to be the biggest challenge of the season, as soon after returning from this foray he accepted a mission into the Sea of Fallen Stars. There he and a number of other prominent Platinums faced down aberrations, mutants and a malevolent psionic entity he nicknamed "Carl". After a hard fought battle to defend the port town of Pallagar, during which he received a mysterious gift from his Patron, him and the rest of the party returned home for a brief break in the action, which he used to finish some outstanding business with a shadow dragon

## Relationships

### Julianne Collechord

Julianne Collechord is Damrons close friend, romantic partner and wife. Hurting or insulting her is one of the few ways to make him drop the calm demeanor and go into a full-blown rage. Despite them often running into issues due to keeping more secrets from each other than necessary, they always return to one another, no matter what.

### Oriza

Despite his initial annoyance with the rather forward Kin, Damron has grown accustomed to Oriza and views her as a more or less trusted acquaintance, their bickering turning more into a friendly ritual

### Layla Loralei

Bonding over their common hometown and despite representing two very different sides of the Law, the Devilborn does his best to put the half-elf at ease and offer support if needed. Layla is one of the very few people privy not only to his secrets but also to his darker deals and machinations.
