Arhel Cendirion

Background

Hailing from the elven realm Kyonin, Arhel is the product of his elven father taking a drow adventurer as a lover. The two maintained their relationship secretly, with the mother disguising herself to raise their son Arhel to become a defender of Kyonin like his father. While he did suffer from being impure of blood Arhel nonetheless persevered to make his parents proud. Upon reaching adulthood the three of them with elven warriors went into the Tanglebriar in an effort to cleanse the lands of Treerazer and the demonic taint he had spread on elven soil. While the early engagements against his minions were successful eventually the group was ambushed by the glabrezu Mokravud, one of Treerazers lieutenants.

Arhel watched as his father was decapitated in the opening moments of the ambush, being an elven officer made him the top target for assassination, and was unable to help as his mother was overwhelmed and torn to pieces by lesser demons. Watching his life fall apart the young warrior panicked and fought his way out of the ambush leaving the friends and comrades he had known all his life to die. In grief and shame Arhel left Kyonin in self-exile vowing to never return until a day he could avenge his parents and comrades that he had abandoned.

The next three decades had proved that Arhel could not live up to his vow. Spending his life wasting away in Calistrian brothels and taking up a mixture of mercenary work with guiding humans into the Darklands in search of treasure, the once proud half-drow had fallen low and only lives to lie to himself that he can still live to defeat Mokravud.

## Description

Half elf, half drow, to most Arhel looks merely like an unusually pale elf. Up close his red eyes and strands of white hair betray his drow ancestry. Still young for an elf Arhel looks twice his age due to the unstable lifestyle he indulges in. When not buying the services of a Calistrian prostitute or drinking himself into a coma Arhel trains to keep himself physically fit at his hidden safe houses (rundown shacks near clients) to fulfill the often violent work he must undertake to sustain his cravings. Ultimately lawless he only obeys the law enough so that he can never be caught by authorities and everything but cold blooded murder is on the table for this ruffian. Despite his chaotic life in combat Arhel is singularly focused bringing his skills from a lifetime ago to use with his twin blades gifted by his parents tearing through foes with graceful fury.
