Carlos Glassy

Carloz Diego Jose Julio Francisco Paul y Ricardo Glassye, to friends, Carlos Glassy, or simply, Carlos, is a formerly dwarven inhabitant of Queston-Guildtown. Having originally come to town in the form of a vengeful spirit, his soul was entrapped by Lessla Dee in the form of a mechanical hare, and later given a proper body by Andrus Ironfall. His final bodily form is that of a shapeshifter. Common guises include a middle aged male dark-elf, an orcish female of middling years, a young male dragonborn with lemon-yellow scales, and most frequently of all, a white harengon with red eyes.

Carlos appearance varies wildly, though his preferred form appears to be that of a white harengon with red eyes, perhaps drawing inspiration from his familiar Jamie, who is himself presented as an albino rabbit with red eyes. His typical outfits are a set of clothes designed to be adjustable for his various forms, though most often he can be found in his mage's robes, which are already a one-size-for-all fit. Carlos is said to have a nervous demeanour and a stutter which, according to witnesses, is a trademark regardless of the language he speaks at any given time. His style of speech is also apparently recognisable enough that other town residents claim to know him even when he takes on an unseen form, by the cadence of his speech. His gate is also distinct, being described at time as a sort of 'waddle'.

## Combat Style

Carlos is a mage by trade, and is armed with both faith and weapons. When not using his spells on behalf of his matron's might or his own, he utlises a crossbow and throwing knives to get the job done. His movement style is critical to his technique, and he relies on rapid movements to cross gaps in the battlefield and support his allies.

## Background

Carlos was born sometime roughly 20 BLG, to two parents of less than ideal rearing style. Their unscrupulous habits and fiscal troubles would lead them to exploit and take out their problems on their children. During a particularly violent event Carlos' sister, Matra, vowed to leave the life his parents were creating for them, and asked Carlos to go with her. Believing they could still be saved, and fearing for retribution against Jayk their youngest sibling, Carlos decided to stay which led to an argument after which Matra left. Reprisal did eventually arrive, though Carlos bore the brunt of it, Jayk being largely unaware of these events.

Carlos' younger sibling quickly displayed an aptitude for several dwarven arts and soon became his parent's best hope to escape their life of poverty. Carlos on the other hand was sidelined in favour of insuring his sibling's success. After years of developing an invention to be used in the process of ore-smelting Carlos attempted to enter the Dee selections alongside his brother. Fearing he may lose his prodigal status, and that his brother would beat him out for the final place among that year's selected Dee, Jayk attempted to kill his brother, framing it as a suicide after his invention did not work. In reality Jayk co-opted Carlos' formula and it was in fact his own invention that did not function as intended. Carlos would then on haunt his unmarked grave, remarked by his parents as a failure and with none to mourn him, he remained buried for half a decade before his spirit was recruited by the Bastions of Plenty, whom used him to kidnap Lessla Dee as punishment for her acts against them.

## Arrival at Queston and Pre-Adventuring Experiences

Eventually, following a lengthy chase Carlos was caught and imprisoned by Star and Lessla Ironfall who, with the help of Leonel Hawkbreaker, imprisoned him in an arcane construct Lessla produced earlier that year. The construct allowed Carlos to return to some semblance of life, housing his soul temporarily. In the meantime Star Ironfall attempted to get through to Carlos, questioning his motivations and reasoning for assisting Lessla's kidnappers. Carlos gradually came to understand their arguments, but resented their treatment of him, remarking on it's hypocrisy and the self-supposed torture he endured on their behalf.

During a particularly nasty argument, carlos was sent to fetch something from the house of Marshall and Ken in Question-Guildtown, and there he encountered Teddie Whispers, his future partner. They spoke, and she offered him something unseen in much of his life; empathy. From this moment forward Carlos was smitten, and attempted to seek her out more often. He also came to the conclusion that he may have misjudged Star and Lessla's arguments to him, and he agreed to return to their home to continue his rehabilitation.

## New Body and Rehabilitation

Carlos made rapid progress in his rehabilitation following his revelations with Star. He has remained on thin ice with some members of the guild, but has largely been accepted as a full member since being restored to a corporeal body by Andrus Ironfall. He also clarified that his name was not, as had been mispronounced in his old body 'Carloz Glass-eye' but rather, Carlos Glassy.

During a particularly frustrated evening wherein Carlos struggled to find forgiveness for his brother, he swore to find and kill him if he could. Andrus Ironfall begrudgingly agreed. Since his return to life, Jayk Glassy had been exposed, and the murder uncovered and so was imprisoned in the dwarven nation. Carlos was taken there with Andrus' help, but found that his brother had already been killed by an unknown assailant some weeks before.

Following his return to form, word got out about a figure fitting Carlos description, and his sister Matra, now Matra Silvian following her marriage to Aurea Silvian in 5 BLG, came to find him. He explained about his return to life and the murder of their brother. To his surprise, Matra confessed to the killing as revenge, having realised the truth of Carlos own supposed suicide prior to his return and herself vowing revenge in his place, unaware he had been revived. She apologised, but believed she did the right thing, and the pair mended fences, both admitting the other would've done the same and bearing the crime in their hearts, together. Regardless they managed to mend fences, and now occassionally exchange letters, making Matra the closest family with whom Carlos still corresponds.

Some months later in mid 2 ALG Carlos finally contacted his uncle, and the two happily reunited. Their relationship remains strong and Carlos views his uncle somewhat like the father he always wanted. The two have both severed ties with Carlos' parents, and Carlos claimed they fled to the isles following the incursion of Xenophasm's forces in 1-2 ALG

When sent into the field carlos quickly proved himself, risking life and limb to support his comrades as they fought against insidious forces for a corrupting entity later revealed to be Xenophasm. He has since fought beast and men alike, including snakes, something highly disquieting to him, due to his relationship to Luna the Cuatl. Carlos eventually moved in with Teddie Whispers, and swore of Alcohol, at least for a time, following a particularly embarrassing incident where he needed help getting home. On a recent venture he was responsible for every kill, landing the final blow on all creatures slain by the party that day, including their quarry, a shadecreeper.

## Relationships

Teddie Whispers: Teddie is the love of Carlos' life. He has referred to her as 'the reason he chose to try and be better'. He lives with her, and carved their bathtub by hand as a symbol of their love and mutual affection for the practice of good hygiene. He enjoys seeing her season change, and will change his own form frequently to please her preferences. They share many interests and his general bookishness is largely satisfied by their mutual love of scholarship. Before serving as a partner however Teddie was a mentor to Carlos, teaching him the basics of magic even as he seemed to pick up the concepts with ease.

Lessla Dee: Lessla is alike to a mother for Carlos. She serves as his conscience and the two are inseparable, literally, as the pair are still somewhat psychically linked to this day, as a byproduct of how Carlos was revived. Carlos looks to her for wisdom, and was present to assist in the birth of all five of Lessla's children. Their friendship persists through a shared interest in knowledge of the arcane.

Star Ironfall: If Lessla is the mother, Star is akin to the stern father, demanding respect teaching lessons Carlos is not always willing to heed. Her advice doesn't fall on entirely deaf ears, and he values her guidance even when their principles don't fully align. He strongly opposes her penchant for theft, and it produces some friction between them when the subject is brought up. Generally though their friendship is strong, and banter is frequent enough between them.

Mithemia Ironfall: Carlos considers the guildmaster a friend, and appreciates her wisdom and aid, the pair speak rarely but most often it is as a matter of seeking advice. Carlos regards the wisdom of the guild master critical to his development and rehabilitation.

Luna the Coatl: Carlos is, as far as he knows, Luna's second favourite rabbit friend. He considers this an honour and though he sometimes snips about her quirks, loves Luna deeply as a member of his family. Carlos and Luna's relationship was rocky, with her using him as a chewtoy upon their initial meeting, however over time Luna came to respect his boundaries including not wanting to be anywhere near her fangs.

Jamie: Jamie is Carlos' familiar, his true form is a treant native to the feywild currently planted in the yard of Star's house. The two clash often, but their differing views often bring them to solutions the others need. Carlos' mind is also one of his finest assets, so he holds that Jamie probably has a firmer appreciation of him than anyone else.
