T the Teifling

## Origins

The birth of T is shrouded in mystery as his true origins are unknown. However this being said, from what T gathered his origin begins in the City of **Drusport**, a filthy city in the **Debauchery Isles**. He was found stowing away on a passenger vessel, by a thief that was casing the ship for valuable goods. The thief would take T back with him to the guild, who would take T in knowing they could raise him to be a thief like themselves.

And by the time he reached his teens, he would be fully inducted into the **Drusport Guild** and used for jobs requiring his agile and limber body. But as the years went on, the Drusport Guild fell into disarray as the thieves within sought to betray and use each other for their own gain. Seeing the only family he ever had fall apart, T would travel the isle finding different guilds and work from his late teens to mid-adulthood.

But as time raged on, T would learn that the home he was searching for no longer existed. Leaving his life behind looking to make his own way in the world, he would catch a ship to **Neverwinter**, arriving a few weeks before his meeting of **Corey** and **Guy**. What happened during this time is not talked about between T and his friends, but whatever he did he managed to piss off nobility, fetching him a 10,000gp bounty...

## Notable Events

### **Meeting Corey & Guy**

While evading local authorities, T would blend into the crowds of people in the Neverwinter Harbor. There he would spot a rather oblivious looking human tourist. Sneaking up behind he reached his fingers into the pockets of the man, but found they were empty. Before he could check his bag, the human and his goliath companion turned around shocked. The human exclaimed "Dude did you touch my ass?", thinking fast T ran off towards a nearby alley, but was chased by the two men. Luckily he had enough time to hide away and the two pursuers gave up. But being overconfident, T attempted to pickpocket the Goliath this time around failing once again, resulting in the giant man sitting on top of him. After some conversation the 3 introduced themselves, and T offered to buy Corey and Guy drinks to apologize.

### **Strange compassion**

Early in **The Drifters** journeys, T was not known to show much emotion, and especially didn't showcase any care or compassion for others. But wile hunting **Glasstaff** in the **Redbrand Hideout**, he would showcase compassion two separate times. The first would come in the holding cells of the hideout. Inside was a starving, scared family. They had been trapped in the hideout for a few weeks, T would free them and not request any reward, instead instructing them on how to escape safely.

The second scenario was shortly after, where T would help free a panicked goblin who seemed harmless, and quiet frankly stupid. This was **Droop**, a now long term ally to the party. T would comfort the creature and become friendly with it for a short time during their hunting of Glasstaff. These events show that T, although normally is abrasive and money motivated, is deep down a heroic and caring person...

### **The Blood Cult of Asmodeus**

A day before the drifters counter-attack on the **Zhentarim**, T would take up a rumor from local adventurers. The rumor spoke of a nefarious blood cult re-emerging in the **Neverwinter Woods** after nearly 3 decades. T would track them down by pure luck, but would begin to experience strange visions. As he encountered blood he would begin to "see" visions of a woman in distress, a teifling woman. Following his visions into an old watch tower led him deep into the earth and too an ancient stone door, all while suffering from these visions. He would witness a woman dying as he reached this door, and burst it open to save her. But inside a different teifling woman sat on an altar, luckily still alive but surrounded by crimson-robed men.

Before he could react T would be addressed by one of the cultists, an old human who called him by the name of *"Aceon"*. From what the man said to T, he could piece together a connection to his past. The cult revealed that they intended on using T's mother as an incubator for him, and eventually planned to use him as a vessel for their God. This would send T into a blind rage as he would begin to strike the cultists to save the woman. But he was quickly overwhelmed by their numbers.

But his rage and hatred manifested into the physical plane and began to transform T into a nightmarish Demon. He blacked out from here but when he awoke, he was resting on the bed of the lodge he encountered earlier in the day. He was weakened but being nursed back to health by the beautiful Teifling woman he saved. She and T would speak for a short while, and he would learn her name was **Agnezia**. She told T to find her if he ever found himself in the Under City of Neverwinter, as she would like to meet him again. Then as T drifted away, she would leave him...

### **The infection**

While chasing **Hamon Kost** with the other Drifters, they would encounter the now deceased Kost's *ashen abominations*. And by the state of Kost's body it was clear that they couldn't get struck by them. But no matter how hard they fought all 3 drifters would be infected and later succumb to the disease. As they reached the cleric in **Phandalin**, T and the drifters would learn that they couldn't be cured. But thinking fast T would use his *hellish rebuke* to expel the sickness from his body, while in return charring his skin. As this action was complete he would temporarily black out, before waking up and chasing Guy down. However he would only find a cheap copy and would be forced to fight this disgusting beast.

Although he was severely weakened, T would feel a sudden boost of health and Droop would even join to help him in the battle. It was almost like an outside force was affecting the outcome of the battle, resulting in T and Droop defeating the copy and saving the day. Not all was well though, Guy had slipped into a coma and was in bad health, while Corey had disappeared completely. Causing T to flee to the mountainous **Kryptgarden Woods** to wallow in his sorrows. As 11 days passed T was at his worst, until Droop and even Corey returned. The group was in good spirits, and to make things better Guy had even made a recovery. The Drifters were reunited and ready to work again. But during this time, the same rage he felt before, had returned. And this time T was unsure for how much longer he could contain it...
