Elwyn Zekrie

#### Appearance

Despite enjoying the long lifespan of an elf, Elwyn's face shows the marks of years of service to the Attanthi administration in both age and marks. A prominent scar goes from his forehead to his left cheekbone, narrowly missing his eye. His height is also slightly diminished by the slouch of years carrying heavy ledgers and an abacus. Long white hair is usually tied back in a practical fashion, unless a truly harrowing investigation has caused his appearance to become disheveled. His professional habit of always wearing armour, even under formal dress, serves him well in the adventuring life.

#### Personality

A childhood fascination with puzzles and mysteries led to his chosen career and this urge is also satisfied by a life on the road. He usually channels his competitive nature into his work, but this tendency towards rivalry did not benefit his marriage.

##### Q & A

1. **What made you be the class that you are? Why did you choose it? Was it chosen for you?** Attanthi tax collectors are trained in martial and arcane combat in hopes of surviving their work. Elwyn demonstrated aptitude at both and his skill at tactical strikes led him to become a Magus.
2. **Who are or were your parents? Their occupations, personality traits, something unique?** Elwyn's parents instilled in him a strong sense of civic duty and fairness. His mother is a metalsmith with arcane skills and forged the sword he uses to this day. His father is a herbalist and healer.
3. **How is your love life? Do you have someone? Are you lucky in love or very much not? What are your goals for the future?** He was once married to Nurendi Bonifas, the Bandit Queen. She is a legendary smuggler and evader of all port fees and duty. They had fallen in love when he was a student and she was a novice sailor, despite their differences and paths in life. After this experience, Elwyn threw himself into his work and still secretly cares deeply for Nurendi, despite their differences in morals.
4. **Besides adventuring - what are you hobbies and interests?** Elwyn loves learning and tries to take up new skills. Having spent many years scribbling in ledgers, he now enjoys calligraphy and illustrated manuscripts. He has never been interested in gardening, but appreciates Nyr's teachings about the natural world, as it helps him better understand his father's work. He plays chess and dreams of meeting a dragon, both to marvel at the taxation rate of their accumulated wealth, and in hopes of learning new riddles.
5. **What are the strongest relationships you have?** He remains close to his parents, especially his mother. Despite the failure of his marriage, Nurendi is very important to him. He maintains a game of chess by sending spell with his former colleague Snibamuss.
6. **What is your dream/goal that propels you? What would you like to achieve before you die?** Elwyn took to adventuring because he was unable to continue working for the Attanathi administration after overlooking his wife's smuggling operation. He originally did so to improve his reputation. Now, he looks as it as the next chapter in an elf's long life. Family is very important to him and he looks to his party as an extended clan. He wants to help others and learn new skills.
