## Personality

Syrano is a charming young man with a silver tongue and a grin to lure anyone in. He is well-spoken, cheerful and quite endearing, skilled at winning people over. Intelligent, though entirely lacking in common sense, and prone to poor choices. He is far from fearless, and while not exactly cowardly, he is aware of his lack of combative skill and tends to avoid confrontation whenever possible. He is, however, incredibly steadfast and loyal to a fault when someone has won his dogged devotion. Syrano also has alarmingly bad taste in romantic interests.

**Weapon Proficiencies:** Somewhat skilled in blades; just enough to defend himself.

**Other Skills:** Music (singing, lute, drums, basics of many others, composition), writing (poetry and plays), acting, pickpocketing, lockpicking, stealth, navigation

## History

Syrano was born to nobility in Imek. He chafed from a young age against his family’s high standards and intense judgment. He was the heir, and not pleased to be it- he despised it all. Aged 8, he ran away for a week, hiding away near the docks. He saw ships, pirates and sailors, and Syrano vowed he would join them someday. However, he was soon caught by his family and returned home. He began to study maritime subjects as well as music, neglecting his noble duties.

When he was 14, Syrano was married to a young noblewoman in the area, a pretty thing his age. Syrano, however, took no interest. He refused to so much as touch her, or speak to her. A year passed of an impasse, and much anger between him and his parents. However, a plan formed, and on the night of his fifteenth birthday, he ran away again, to the docks.

This time he begged a captain to take him on, and he did. That night they left, Syrano in tow. His parents thought the worst, and spent many months searching, though they found nothing. He was now on the seas, finally enjoying his life. An assistant to the captain and the ship entertainment, he spent another few years aboard, though it was a legal vessel. He learned the skills any deckhand needed, navigation, and the miscellaneous things he needed. The captain, who was not of Imek, gave him the name ‘Syrano’.

Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, his ship was boarded by The Red Veil. Syrano in the fighting, snuck aboard and into the captain’s quarters. Once the fighting had ended, and Kregan Crow-Eye returned to his vessel, Syrano had surprised him… And begged again, this time to join his vessel as a navigator, deckhand and bard. Much to Syrano’s surprise, Kregan agreed instead of throwing him overboard. With that one evening, Kregan had entirely won Syrano’s loyalty.

Syrano spent the next few years with the vessel, following his friend and Captain loyally, as well as honing his skills. He left a trail of bastards and lovers, as well as many strings of thefts whenever they stopped to port. Eventually, by one of his particularly angered lovers, he was given a second name- ‘Silvertongue’. Like a dog, he continues to follow his Captain to this day.
