GM Unsouled's Sky King's Tomb Campaign

Game Master SparkyDarren

Knab, a low-class "lumpenproletariat" citizen who would begin this adventure having disgraced his native Vanderholl clan (by running an illicit "side-hustle" and serving significant time for not "snitching"), is an unlikeable and elderly dwarf of morally dubious reputation who, having adopted an atheist stance in his early life, may be turning his faithless eye to mighty Trudd in what amounts to a redemption arc, learning to apply the talents he developed to a more socially acceptable and communally-focused cause. Having known Rosha Coppervein from early adulthood (in which he was someone with connections she knew and they had a few illicit dealings before she subsequently left a certain lifestyle behind), who recently became re-acquainted with a sober Knab - and thoroughly impressed with his freak eidetic memory! - she pulled her connections to set him up with an honest internship with Tolorr sages, which he shyly accepted - but not, of course, without his own reservations. To the point, in fact, that he plans to tell her at the upcoming Family Festival that, well, he would like to cease the mentorship, as it's focus is far too academic for the aging ex-criminal, and he feels the "odd-dwarf-out" (whether real or imagined...) amongst it's scholarly circle...

As a team member, Knab prefers to create his own opportunities for sneak attacks from the front and center of the pack, skilled in Thievery and Medicine and Knowledge: I like to think of Knab as a slow-moving "think tank" focused on defense and knowing the enemy before engaging! As it comes to non-combat encounters, Knab is reserved and shy, but cunning enough to understand how to use others' perceptions of him as "shady" to his advantage - he can supply council during intrigue encounters, but always avoids a direct speaking role, unless one-on-one or when (unskillfully) trying to coerce his ambitions from others.
