Alsandair Scarletbough

**Author:** Razade

**Name:** Alsandair Scarletbough
**Age:** 243
**Affiliations:** The Blue Dragon

**Physical Description:** Alsandair, like many Elves in Tandem,
stands a good head under the average human with silvery white hair grown
 to his waist and often kept in a neat braid. Alsandair typically wears
simple though smart robes of deep greens and blacks, well groomed and
clean shaven with a breath that always smells of mint. His dark tan skin
 is covered in Elven Runes up along his spine and along his arms and
legs though few have seen these markings.

**Personality:** Alsandair is a bright and cheerful sort of man,
always willing to lend a few coins to someone in need though always with
 some promise of returned value in the deal. Shrewd, cunning and a
little greedy, Alsandair is a well known and well liked member of
downtown Tandem known for his quick though often sarcastic humor.
Alsandair is said to have a particular soft spot for kids and uses them
as criers and part of his network within the Blue Dragon and the streets
 around it to find information. Underneath the kind and generous
entrepreneur dwells a man hungry for power and hungry and there is
little the Elf will not do to achieve what he deems as his right.
Alsandair, despite his money, seems to prefer dressing modestly and
often in the garb of other lands. During social events he parts with
such reservations, dressing in traditional Elven outfits flavored with
Nihon flair.

**History:** Young for an Elf, Alsandair Scarletbough is a native
citizen of Tandem predating its human occupation. Born in what is now
Sapphire Watch to a large noble family, Alsandair remains a scion of the
 noble Scarletbough family though in this day and age much of those who
live within the family are of human ilk as previous lovers have claimed
much of the land and wealth owed to its natural sons and daughters by
right. Disgusted by the slow decline of his house and dreadful rumors
that he was dabbling in the Dark Arts, the Elf struck off on his own
with what wealth he could grab and began to journey around the world.
Alsandair seems to have spent a good portion of his early life in Nihon.
 Alsandair later returned from his adventures abroad andfounded what
would eventually become The Blue Dragon. Over the years he has added to
The Blue Dragon, growing it from a single one story house to the
sprawling mess it is today transforming what once was a simple
laundromat to a place even the rich and powerful visit.

**Advantages:**

**The Blue Dragon [Rank 3] (Exceptional-Locus):**
 Alsandair owns and operates The Blue Dragon, utilizing it as a vast
information network more than a means to make himself rich as most of
the money that The Blue Dragon makes goes back into operating costs. The
 Blue Dragon is open to all so long as they have the money and serves as
 a wonderful base of operation for many of the mercenary groups and
other organizations in the city.

**Lava Spear [Rank 2] (Uncommon-Personal):** A potent combat spell,
Alsandair is capable of summoning forth massive gouts of molten rock and
 heave them at his foes with lethal precision. These powerful blasts of
lava cool and harden almost instantly once them magic has worn off,
leaving spikes of rock behind.

**Fortune [Rank 2] (Common-Personal):** Alsandair, though young for
an Elf, has been in the city for a long time and has operated his
business for near as long. As such he's amassed a small fortune and is
known to be generous with his coin.

**Cunning [Rank 1] (Common-Personal):** Alsandair is shrewd and calculating, often one step ahead of those around him not just because of how well informed he is.

**Polygot [Rank 1](Rare-Personal):** As a native Tandemen Alsandair
speaks both Elven and the Common Tongue and in his travels has learned
the dominant language of Nihon though with a noticeable accent.

**Dark Distortion [Rank 1] (Uncommon-Personal):** An ancient and dark
 spell and the shame of the ancient Elven Sorcerers, Dark Distortion is a
 spell that tugs at the fabric of creation causing it to ripple and
tremble until the target simply begins to tear itself apart. Dark
Distortion is particularly cruel when used on living targets, causing
internal damage easily.
