About Gravlax d'Antonio

Gravlax d'Antonio comes from a long line of d'Antonios in Westcrown. His father used to laugh and say they went all the way back -- then have another drink. Gravlax's mother only rolled her eyes.

Gravlax was born third of the four d'Antonio children.

The oldest, Ortolan d'Antonio, could actually recite the genealogical history of the d'Antonios. Heraldry fascinated him, and there was not a hair Ortolan was incapable of splitting in his quest for "accuracy, precision, exactness."

The middle children were twins, but Balut was born three minutes before Gravlax. As they grew, she was the more outgoing, more daring, taller, stronger, faster twin. Gravlax had to work harder for lesser results, but it instilled an ethic (although some might call it a profound stubbornness) that would serve him well in his adult life. Balut went missing one night when they were both twelve, and Gravlax was never quite the same afterward. He kept his head down, and worked harder.

The youngest, Casu d'Antonio, was sweet and pretty. She had a wicked sense of humor, but kept it hidden, and married well above her station. The Marzu family recently left Westcrown for Egorian, and Gravlax does not expect to see his younger sister again, either.

Gravlax works, during the day, as a scribe. He writes things down. Some of these things make him unhappy, but they are lawful. So he writes them down. During the day. Gravlax is good at his job. He speaks a few languages, and is very precise.

At night? Well, who can say what happens in the dark?

--------------------
SPECIAL ABILITIES
--------------------
Agility 4 (Ex) +4 bonus on saving throws against effects which paralyze, slow, or entangle.
Armor Training 2 Armor Check penalties reduced by 2. Maximum Dex bonus increased by 2. Can move at normal speed wearing Medium Armor or Heavy Armor.
Blind Fight (fighter) In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit. An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is, you don't lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker doesn't get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. You do not need to make Acrobatics skill checks to move at full speed while blinded.
Combat Reflexes (fighter) May make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. May also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Critical Focus +4 circumstance bonus on attack rolls to confirm critical hits.
Deflect Arrows Deflect an incoming projectile once per round.
Dodge (fighter) +1 Dodge bonus to AC.
Evasion (Ex) If you succeed at a Reflex save for half damage, you take none instead.
Expert Acrobat (Ex) No armor check penalties on Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth skill checks while wearing light armor. +2 competency bonus on Acrobatics and Fly skill checks while unarmored.
Greater Weapon Focus (Dueling Sword) Additional +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.
Greater Weapon Specialization (fighter bonus feat) Another +2 damage to attacks made using the selected weapon.
Improved Initiative (fighter) +4 to Initiative checks.
Improved Unarmed Strike Unarmed strikes don't cause attacks of opportunity, and can be lethal.
Improvised Weapon Mastery You do not suffer any penalties for using an improvised weapon. Increase the amount of damage dealt by the improvised weapon by one step to a maximum of 1d8 (2d6 if the improvised weapon is two-handed). The improvised weapon has a critical threat range of 19–20, with a critical multiplier of ×2.
Leadership 18
Leaping Attack 3 (Ex) When a mobile fighter moves at least 5 feet prior to attacking, he gains a +3 bonus on attack and damage rolls.
Mobility 4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. This is lost when Dex bonus to AC is lost.
Penetrating Strike (fighter) Ignore up to 5 points of damage reduction with Weapon Focus weapon. This feat does not apply to damage reduction without a type (e.g. 10/-).
Rapid Attack (Ex) A mobile fighter can combine a full-attack action with a single move. He must forgo the attack at his highest bonus but may take the remaining attacks at any point during his movement.
Shadow Child No 20% miss chance for attacks in dim lighting.
Snatch Arrows May choose to catch deflected projectile. Can immediately be thrown back as an attack against the original attacker (out of turn). Must have one hand free.
Sneak Attack +1d6 +1d6 damage if you flank your target or your target is flat-footed.
Stand Up (Ex) Stand up as a free action instead of a move action.
Throw Anything (fighter bonus feat) No penalties for using an improvised ranged weapon. +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls made with thrown splash weapons.
Weapon Focus +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.
Weapon Specialization (fighter bonus feat) +2 damage to attacks made using the selected weapon.

Miscellaneous Deductions, file under M for Miscellaneous:

Lily of the Valley (1.5 gp per)

writes: right
fights: left

114,542.5 gp.

Consider (Acrobatics, Perception, Stealth, +3). Greater PS (ignore 10 DR) - Fighter 16.

Saving the wording in case I decide that I want it back:

Spring Attack (fighter) As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single melee attack without provoking any attacks of opportunity from the target of your attack. You can move both before and after the attack, but you must move at least 10 feet before the attack and the total distance that you move cannot be greater than your speed. You cannot use this ability to attack a foe that is adjacent to you at the start of your turn.

File under P for Paperwork:

Many pounds of Paperwork from the Asmodean Knot
Delvehaven ledgers (+8 to appraise or identify objects found in Delvehaven)
Cugny's Wedding
Missing Pathfinders letter
Liram's Note
4x false identify papers: +2 bluff vs dottari, Hellknights, nobles, or Chelish authorities

What Gravlax does at night, file under R:

Of all the things it could have been, it was a property dispute. The details are unimportant, except that the slave was put to death -- his continued presence was an Offense to his owner's Sensibilities.

Gravlax ventured throughout Westcrown, and gathered a raiment all of black. He bought himself a weapon. He bought two. And some armor to keep his colorful insides in place.

The Raven left from the window of Gravlax's studio apartment that evening. He offended the former slave's former owner's sensibilities in a far more permanent manner. He left a lily of the valley on the cooling flesh as a reminder that one day Westcrown will return to happiness. Once it was also symbolic of an aspect of Aroden. Best not think too hard about that.

The Raven is far less lawful than Gravlax. The Raven is willing to take a darker road to achieve a necessary end.

They are simply two sides to the same man, however. Aren't they?
