Backstory

Arrius Bersk is intelligent and inquisitive. Working as an academic researcher, he directed his sharp mind at understanding the world of the fey and writing theses on the subject. However, he eventually discovered and studied a text with unimaginable secrets about the fey, and before he knew it he found himself touched by an archfey being, granting him strange, eldritch powers. Disoriented by his new power and fearful of what could happen if the wrong person found the text whose secrets unlocked that power, Arrius began withdrawing from the academic community until his reputation as a scholar shriveled to an irrelevant memory.

No longer able to pursue his original profession, Arrius is nevertheless smart and adaptable. Quickly learning new skills, he has found work doing odd jobs ranging from arbitration to bodyguard work. He frequently finds himself under the employ of one Gundren Rockseeker, who appreciates his versatility, reliability, and ability to establish amiable relationships across racial divisions. Ready for any task, he looks forward to a trip to Phandalin and some well-earned coin.
