Augus’treus Naedre

> "*The things I do need to be done. People always look at me and think this is a game to satisfy some urge for rebellion in my heart but it's not. I look out and see a world bound by a false god in it's own suffering, and I'll do everything in my power to change that... Even if it means burning it all to the ground and starting fresh.*"

## Personality

Augus'treus is a dashing, charming type of man. He relies on his wits and guile to get himself in and out of trouble, and puts more faith in the people he cares about than most Drow. Despite his quips and jeers though, he is someone with real convictions, which is often lost on most people. Many who first join up with the Golden Road encounter him soon after and think him a haughty fool, but in reality he uses this humorous facade to help him forget the horrors he's faced. They say the Devil is in the Details, and August has always picked them out well, which makes it hard for him not to notice the worst of it all. When he's not out playing hero or on the town causing a ruckus, he settles down and follows up on his career passion. He'll fiddle with crafting small clockwork toys for the children in the refugee camps, work on his guns, and draft up new designs for his lady Faf'na. It is here that he is at most peace, and the world falls away for a bit. Unfortunately, it never lasts long, and the dust up comes again the next morning.

## Lore

### What You All Know

August was an orphaned manservant in the slums before being found by House Maiden Faf'na Elisse Marsera Duluth of House Amakiir. He was then formally trained under her for about 50 years before his mysterious disappearance about 15 years ago, later being found as a bandit who operates on the outskirts of the city.

### Backstory Details

August works for a specialized sect of the Arzakka known as The Golden Road, a group specializing in attacking slaver convoys and workhouses within the city to free the slaves within. They do this using a combination of stealth tactics and full on combat if necessary, however usually all out combat is reserved for out of city convoys, and if they're found out within the city they will simply retreat for a time instead.

## Notable Equipment

### Pit Viper

The first pistol August ever made, which he's continuously rebuilt up to this point to refine it's design. A weapon holding great sentimental value for him, it's sentimentality is only succeeded by it's own lethal power.

*"I like the way you die boy, why don't you do it again?"*

### Night Adder

The second pistol August ever made, designed in conjunction with Pit Viper's first upgrade after he failed to pair a melee weapon with his gun. This weapon is as lethal as it's brother, and almost as pretty.

*"Here's one for the road sister!"*

## Relationships

#### Nym Toza

"Nym? Nym my boy. I remember scrambling along the halls getting into trouble at Faf'na's home with him...and by that I mean I remember dragging him everywhere to get the boy to lighten up a bit and have some fun. He's a meek little thing, but don't let that trick you. He knows his way around a knife as well as I do my guns, and he will use it. I do wish he'd learn how to stand up for himself though because I won't be around forever to help."

#### Gindriia Liadon

"Ms Liadon herself, as I live and breathe. She's a good woman, though marred in the heart by the politics of this damned city. From what I see she just wants to keep her family safe, and she's willing to fight the system over her head to do it. I admire that in her, as most Drow in Tirikadessa would simply turn a blind eye to the plight of their children and instead bid more for power for their own benefit. I think I'll throw my lot in with her if it comes down to it. Faf'na will understand the work that needs to be done, she always has in these kinds of things."

#### Yolandra Liadon

"Ah, Gindriia's child. She's a bit of a prick you know? Not that I don't respect the hell out of her dedication and determination to fight, but imagine what she could do if she shifted her priorities to a cause that mattered, instead of allowing herself to rot away in the cesspit that is the guard culture of this city-state. She has so much potential locked away in there...Wonder how much I'll need to piss her off to get her to realize it. It seems to be my specialty with her after all."

## NPCs

#### Prismari

"Look at my beautiful son, isn't he just the cutest?!? His scales are so well kept and they shimmer so nicely in the crystal light!!" -August, showing off his pet snake Prismari.

#### Lotus

"Honestly I couldn't tell you what that guy is thinking. He never actually talks normally enough to get a gauge on him, just quotes some weird philosophical war book from topside. I've never even seen what's under his mask, though the gang and I have a betting pool running on it."

#### Aki'Yanae

"Half Drow, Half Devil, but the best damn shot I've ever met...well, next to me of course. She's one of our best snipers in The Golden Road. I've seen her pop a Mosquito jack from 400 feet away with that rifle of hers. Now if only she could reign in that temper of hers... Speaking of which, I just heard her scream, which means she found out about the confetti, I have to go bye!"

#### Goreheel The Tearer

"Generally I don't think of any race as 'scary' as a whole, but Duergar are an exception. I mean his name is *Goreheel!* He's a good guy, though he's really only working with us because he wants an excuse to fuck with the city. Now if only he would stop ripping people's calves out with the spikes on that sword of his I'd be able to fight around him without throwing up after."
