* Original Outfit
* 2nd Outfit
* Updated Outfit

An aarakocra genie warlock and battle master fighter, banished to the Material Plane with his younger sister, Lotes.

## Physical Appearance

Dolus is a 5'9 aarakocra, whose wing/feathers patterns are based off of those of a common pigeon. He has short hair that fades from a grey-blue into green. Unlike most aarakocra, Dolus has a human face due to his biological father not being an aarakocra. Dolus also almost always look tired.

## Life Pre-Campaign

Dolus was born in the elemental plane of air, the child of his mother, Nyx, and an unknown man. He was raised by Nyx and her husband. Eventually Dolus' younger sister Lotes was born, who shares the same biological parents as him.

Dolus, at some point in his childhood, discovered that when his mother went to the material plane, she did more then be unfaithful to her husband, and she also brought illegal magical relics back to the elemental plane of air. One of the items that he found was the ring that represents his pact with Caelii.

One day, Dolus saw Lotes being bullied by a few older aarakocra and attacked them using magic from Caelii. This caused a pact to form between Caelii and Dolus to form and his left arm to turn black. His mother blamed her husband on the ring getting into Dolus' hands and he was killed as a result, this also resulted in Dolus and Lotes getting kicked out of the elemental plane of air and they were sent to the material plane.

In the material plane, the two siblings are found by Raden who takes them in as if they were his own and helps them train their skills. One day, Raden's cabin was attacked and Dolus and Lotes were forced to run away, leaving Raden behind. They then begin making their way out of the Stonekeeper Empire in the hopes of eventually arriving in Eubuea. They arrived in Raesti and the night before the campaign started they were told by a mysterious man that they had to leave the port city the next day.

## Life During Campaign

While attempting to leave Raesti, Lotes and Dolus meet Twink and Socrates as they attempt to find a way onto a ship leaving port. They ultimately end up on Harmon's ship, where they also meet Kiran. When Archibald joins their ship, Dolus tells Atranon that he understands what it is like to be an older brother and that while Archibald is not his priority he will do his best to look after him.

When the party visits the island that eventually becomes Twinktania for the first time, Dolus is a part of the group that goes hunting for boar. After Mara gets the boar all in one place, Dolus casts thunderwave and kills a large portion of the boar.

As the party approaches Shadesteppe, Caelii contacts Dolus and tells him that once they arrive, she has the name of a person she needs him to kill. It is revealed a few episodes later that the person Caelii asks him to kill is Illiac, Dolus' double created as the result of Archibald's month-long misty step that was cast to escape Harmon's sinking ship. This sparks a fight which resulted in Dolus killing Illiac. Later, while the conference in Shadesteppe is happening, Caelii calls both of the birds "her kids," a show of affection that is not typical for her.

As a result of Sock's death, Dolus begins to feel ill and takes his mask off to vomit, revealing the human face that was underneath his mask to the party. It was also around this time that Dolus stopped being able to make contact with Caelii, through the ring or otherwise.

After Shadesteppe, the party made their way back to the island of Twinktania. Once they get to the island, Dolus begin walking into random ramshackle "buildings" and in one of these buildings is a human woman named Alina who immediately begins asking questions about Dolus being an aarakocra much to his annoyance. An annoyance which only expanded when he discovered that she would be traveling on the ship with the party.

Dolus then joins the party in exploring the bamboo forest which turns into the fey wild. When entering the fey wild, Dolus began to feel a sharp pain in his blackened arm, which had been getting larger over the course of the campaign. Then Dolus accidently makes a fey promise. When they eventually make their way to Arlashna, she takes him alone to remove this promise and in the process she removes the black on his arm, which is instead replaced by skin the same color of green as Caelii.

Dolus traveled to The Westwood with the party, helping there wherever he could. He did not have a set task that he worked on the entirety of the time they were there, and instead just did as he was told. When they went to find the arch fey, who turned out to just be Arlashna, Dolus saw the day he attacked the kids who were bullying Lotes, and had to not attack the kids to escape the vision. It was while they were in the Westwood that Dolus first began talking to Alina and seeing past the initial annoyance he felt towards her. After the party fought Twink the Great, Dolus picked up an un-identified necklace that Twink the Great had in his possession.

As they were leaving the Westwood to head back to Twinktania, Dolus gave the necklace to Alina to identify, which caused her to be possessed by Starlost Kiran, something Dolus blamed himself for. This is also when Dolus and Alina started going on "lunch dates" and other characters begin to believe that their may be feelings forming between the two of them.

When the party first arrives in Eubuea and Delilah "attacks" them, Dolus is the only party member taken as if he were a normal prisoner, and is then locked in Delilah's study with Dockori. They do not know what the plan to escape is, and are only told to head to a certain point when they hear the signal, which is a set of directions that they follow. Once they arrive at this point Dolus gets a sending from Alina asking him to come pick her up because she is in danger, Dolus very quickly leaves to find her. Dolus grabs Alina in his arms and a very injured Mara in his talons, when he is shot while flying away he accidental drops Alina back into the battle. He brings Mara to the meeting spot and flies back to grab Alina. This causes some tension between Alina and Dolus, as she is shaken by the experience, but the two of them are able to push through and overcome it.

Dolus is a part of The Finest, travelling around and bounty hunting in Eubuea. During this time while they are in Valorfall, Dolus is the only party member that Ahab tells his true identity to, revealing that he is Bahamut. Dolus is also the only party member to discover that Mara has also made a pact with a genie, Baradorn, genie of the elemental plane of earth. Dolus also begins to gradually get more and more control over both the inside of his ring and his magic overall. He is now able to put whatever he wants in the ring and can take anything he put into it out, he is also able to control what the inside of his ring looks like. Dolus also gains the ability to change his physical appearance with seemingly no source of origin for this new power.

Over the course of their travels across Eubuea, Dolus and Alina begin to grow even closer together, despite the troubles they went through when the party first arrived in Eubuea. They are both separately asked about being in a relationship with one another, mostly by Hickory, and at one point Dolus gets Twink to make a quill using one of his feathers that he gives to Alina. This comes to a head when the party visits the Drinas' Manor and Alina and Dolus officially get together.

When Delilah grants the party each a magical gift, Dolus uses his to talk to Caelii, who informs him that he is supplying his own magic and is essentially turning into a genie himself. She also demands that he not come to the elemental plane of air, a demand he outright says he will not follow before their connection ends.

After Lotes' dream which Martin infiltrates in the caverns beneath Eubuea, it is revealed that Martin know who the birds' biological father is. He has supposedly reached out to the birds before and has doted on and supported Lotes.
