Cassian Creel

## Biography

Born and raised in the poorer parts of Drachen Falls, Cassian started getting up to no good at a very young age. Handsome in a gruff sort of way, he was always a philanderer. It got him into trouble fairly regularly. That trouble wound up getting him involved with The Thieves' Guild. They recognized how well planned his cons were and started dealing him in to plan other things. He met his wife Sigh after she was referred to him on how best to assassinate someone. They hit it off well and got married.

Unfortunately, his philandering got him in trouble again when he met Alcina, a dryad who had been recruited to make poisons for the guild. They ALSO immediately hit it off and he started seeing her behind Sigh's back. Despite his best efforts to keep the two women as separate parts of his life, it was inevitable that his assassin wife and his poison expert girlfriend would meet and equally inevitably that they would figure out they were both romantically engaged with the same man. After both women left him, he continued on in the guild, helping plan jobs and even participating in one or two here or there. His role was mostly reduced to planning, which made him ideal as someone who wouldn't mind taking on some leadership roles. While he has never gotten anywhere near the head of the guild in terms of his leadership status, he's certainly up there.

After a few years, he apologized to Al and Sigh for his behavior and congratulated them on their marriage. They accepted his apology and the three were able to move on, living and working as platonic partners. When Valen came into their lives, Cass was instantly smitten. He had always wanted to be a dad, but he'd never really thought it was something he could commit to. But with a teething baby half-orc Valen chewing on his bracer, he was instantly done for. He took a lot of the shifts caring for Valen when they were younger as Sigh was usually working night shift assassinations and Al was worried the baby would get into the poisons. Comparatively, Cassian's job pushing papers was much less dangerous. He often took Valen to work, though all three of them agreed never to use the baby as a part of the gig. As Valen grew, they all taught them the parts of the trade that they knew. Cassian wasn't as much of a ghost as Sigh nor as adept with poisons as Al, but he COULD teach Valen how to come out on top in a bar brawl and how to fire a crossbow. Together, the three of them raised Valen to be a very competent rogue.
