**Clarence Francis-Laurent de Maximilian Van Herrlich II**, better known as Clancy, was a half-elf draconic sorcerer, and member of the Somerlow Party. He was a noble from the Glanzendor Kingdom, where his family rules, and adventured with the party until his death.

## Backstory

Clancy was born to the Van Herrlich family in the Glanzendor Kingdom. He was the oldest of 5 siblings. As the first child of the ruling Van Herrlich family, he was next in line to rule and sports the name 'Clarence'. Since he was very young, he was put under intense academic scrutiny from his parents, being expected to be a perfect heir to the kingdom. Clancy was rarely allowed to leave the castle, and did not have many hobbies other than practising magic. Around the age 11, Clancy witnessed the fiery death of his uncle Clarence and subsequent denial of the event occurring from his family. At age 18, Clancy was allowed to leave the kingdom with the permission of his parents, to have him discover settlements outside the kingdom and spread the Van Herrlich name. Clancy travelled for a short period on his own airship, before arriving in Somerlow and beginning travelling with the rest of the Somerlow party. Clancy has a snake that travels with him named Dante, who is his mother's familiar tasked in watching Clancy and making sure he does not do anything she deems bad.

## Personality

Clancy was principled, arrogant, but curious and soft when he needs to be. At the beginning of his adventure with the party, he looked down on most of them as less skilled and weaker than him. As time went on, Clancy grew closer to the party and now sees each party in their own skill. Clancy was very persuasive and tended to speak first in social interactions. He will often flaunt his title to get what he wants, but was generally modest about his position to the party. Clancy heavily distrusts gods, and will get very angry when the party talks to or works with them. Clancy cares a lot for his image and the public (and to an extent, his party members) seeing him as a strong and capable spellcaster. Clancy was protective of his siblings and the people who are kind to him, going out of his way to protect the party with his life and forcing enemies to target him

In battle, Clancy tends to stay back and throw constant spells at enemies. He prefers fire-based spells, but has a wide array that he is capable of. When allies get hurt, Clancy likes to throw highly damaging spells at enemies to make himself a target. Clancy will also counterspell enemies spells.

One of Clancy's signature moves was Hold Person + Disintegrate, where Clancy would first (quickened spell) cast hold person on an enemy, then cast Disintegrate. Because of hold person, the enemy would automatically fail Disintegrate's save, and take the full damage. Ironically, this is the exact move that resulted in Clancy's death.

## Death

Clancy was killed during the party's battle with Cassie in Winterhigh. During the fight in the throne room, Cassie casted a Hold Person spell on Clancy. She subsequently casted Disintegrate. Clancy automatically failed his save for disintegrate because of Hold Person. The spell reduced him to 0 hit points, so he fully disintegrated. Clancy is not able to be revived

Although very little of Clancy's possessions remained after his death, he had left a letter to the party detailing his wishes and a final message to each member. The note can be read here.

Clancy's death heavily impacted the party, to the point where they took several days after the fight to process their grief.
