Aonar Swiftwind

## Background

Born to an unknown couple in the now ill-fated Elrendar District, at the time the young Aonar was left an orphan due to an unnatural illness that seemed to claim not just his parents but many of his neighbours. Growing up alone and with nothing but a small inheritance and family blade Aonar took to mastering the dueling arts, channeling his grief into a powerful motivation to find a place in elven society that would praise him for his skill.

By dint of hard work and bloody effort the name Swiftwind became famous and feared among the dueling circles of noble households, often was he hired out to settle death matches and earning many enemies. After many lonely decades of plying his craft of death he met Linaya Nostramos. Immediately stricken by the half-succubus' beauty, the blademaster easily fell for her wiles and swore himself to House Nostramos. Now he serves his lady with fervent dedication, whether it be eagerly applying his skills towards defending her honour or more rarely satiating her more predatory urges.

## Description

Even for an elf Aonar strikes a particularly gaunt and somewhat withered frame (something that became more noticeable after swearing allegiance to Nostramos), although often he plays this to his advantage so that some who challenge him heedless of his reputation expecting an easy kill are then caught off guard by his unusual fighting style mixed with his blinding speed.

A ruthless killer through-and-through there is little that pleases Aonar more than antagonizing and baiting those who practice the arts of dueling in Thelthalas, often killing his opponents even in casual bouts (if just to see their anger when they are resurrected).

When not driving his blade into foolish nobles, Swiftwind spends his time quietly enjoying the finest narcotics available in Thelthalas and enjoying the delights of Galadron Springs and servicing his mistress' perverse whims.
