Inimicus Occidere

**Inimicus Occidere** (*b. 9272*) – codename "Lightweight" – is a Shadar-Kai Assassin Rogue played by Leo, and a member of the Blazing Crown.

## Backstory

Inimicus is a noble from the Shadowfell, and part of a very corrupt royalty. He ended up getting close to a Yuan-ti named Amicus who saw the Occideres for what they were, and slowly began getting Inimicus to see this as well.

In 9283, Inimicus's father took notice of this and had Amicus killed; nearly the entire family assisted in this assassination. When Inimicus found out about this, and learned that his father had orchestrated it, he snapped and ended up killing everyone, leaving him the last living member of the Occidere bloodline. He never checked if he'd finished them all off, accidentally leaving his brother Ignis alive.

The assassin's guild, The Blazing Crown, ended up finding Inimicus and taking him in. They taught him to be an assassin and took to calling him "Lightweight." Shortly after he joined, he cut his hair to the style it is now and never let it grow long again, as long hair was one of the proudest features of the Occidere family, and denoted their nobility.

## Notes
