Alerio was born in Absalom to a prosperous merchant-crafter. His father, Kolann, is an information broker who does wood-carving as a hobby. Alerio spends much of his time ferreting out information for his father to sell, practicing at sneaking into places, hiding and listening, and cracking safes. His father is Human, but his mother is Kayal. Alerio takes after his mother's side of the family, sporting fairly typical Kayal traits.
Recently, Alerio has come into contact with an organization known simply as the Shadow Society. He's begun working with the Society, stealing some things and planting items in places. He'll occasionally kill, but mostly he's doing the same thing he does for his father: information retrieval. He doesn't know too much about the Society, but it gives him the chance to practice things he enjoys very much.
Appearance:
If you find Alerio undisguised, he has jet-black skin, slit yellow eyes, and a shaved head. It's infrequent to catch him in this state. He generally keeps himself cloaked and masked to hide his skin. There are times when he'll disguise himself as a member of another race, and certain people are met only with these disguises. He maintains several persona for his work. No matter his disguise, his appearance is tall and rail-thin.
Personality:
Alerio doesn't hold much sacred. Privacy is a foreign concept to his mind. He simultaneously thinks nothing should be kept secret and thinks he should never reveal his true self. This view is uncommonly well-suited to his chosen lifestyle and work. He doesn't get close to people, but he's quick to take advantage of an opportunity. Laws are guidelines for other people, but he's loyal to those he chooses to call friends. Admittedly, there are very few of these.
