Name: E'Than Attar, meaning Born of Blood in Dark Elven
(pronounced long E, and Than, as in "rather than...")
Age: Cursed to live until he chooses to die
Height: 6 ft
Race: Human
Eyes: Hazel
Marital status: Single
Background:
E'Than's mother was a slave from pre-Civil War Louisianna and was raped by her owner's brother. Approximately 3 weeks before giving birth, she was beaten and dumped in the swamps, left for dead. By whatever means, somehow, his mother found herself lying face-down in the desert, thinking she was in Hell. Found by a fleet of Dark Elven Traders (possibly the same fleet that discovered Vanya at a far flung port), E'than was delivered post-mortum by a Dark Elven Matriarch on Aerdon. As a result, E'Than was either blessed, or cursed, however you look at it, with living until he chooses to die.
The child was raised by Damara and Krassc, the Matriarch and her male bondmate as a son, and was eventually sent to train as one of the elite scouts that escort the frigates as front line protection against other pirating Dark Elves. He excelled in weaponry, learning any weapon as though born to it and was soon captain of his own ship. In time, the fleet made its way across the deep Diirlathe on their trade route and made a stop at the Blackthorn Keep. It was there that he was involved in a drunken bar-room brawl and was arrested by the House Guard, but only after beating several of them to a pulp. While incarcerated, Callan Blackthorn made him an offer, his freedom in exchange for his services as an ArmsMaster...E'Than was offer an opportunity to fill the positon left open by Drey Axeweilder after he walked away from the Keep. He has recently began traveling with Callan at the Emporer's request.
Appearance:
E'Than has dark skin and keeps his hair mostly shaved. He is fairly muscular and is built far heavier than any Elf. His sense of balance and his reflexes are, however, excellent, as they developed over his lifetime of working the desert ships' rigging and such. He typically wears dark clothing and carries a slim bladed sword, something very much like Earth's Asian katanas, as well as an Elven dagger, though he is trained to handle any weapon found on Aerdon. He may or may not be carrying an assortment of throwing knives about himself, it just depends on the circumstances. He wears no jewelry, except a simple silver cross on a silver chain, something found near his mother's body, though he has no idea the meaning of it, only that it belonged to his mother.
Personality:
One would expect that being raised by Dark Elves, E'Than would be cruel and hateful, selfish and overall an evil person. The Dark Elves of Aerdon, however, are greatly misunderstood. To outsiders, the Dark Elves are quiet, untrusting and are reputed to practice Dark Magic. This however a is misconception, E'Than was raised with love and in a family that cared a great deal for him. He is typically quiet and thoughtful, something that is mistaken for aloofness by those who do not know him. He does have a violent temper when pushed and has a nasty habit of liking strong liquor, something that tends to help his temper along. In short, he's a nice guy unless angry or drunk.
Tattoos or other markings:
E'Than has rash fine white scars on his back, a result of the fleet being caught in a sand storm. E'Than was above deck at the time, making an effort to help others and was pitched overboard, then dragged for a bit. The overall appearance of the scars left by the sandburn looked as though he had been rubbed down with sandpaper or put through a cheese grater. He has no tattoos at the present, though that could change.
