About Barnette Bright the XIIBarnette Bright the 12th Back Story:
Barnette was the son of a merchant from Taldor, from a younf age he traveled with his father on trade missions, but his father always insisted on proper schooling so Barnette was schooled aboard the merchant ship by a old magus hired by Barnettes father,Barnette learnt book smarts but was always more interested in magic, he was particularly good at conjuring and would practice by summoning mice and other small creatures. through out the years at sea traveling to dozens of nations and far way ports Barnette also learnt many languages, he also learnt and the art of manipulation and bargaining, Barnette loved to watch his father at work haggling and bargaining, his father was an astute merchant with a great eye for a deal, but he always believed in giving a fair deal in return. Not long after his 10th birthday Barnette's father went away on a routine trade mission to Varissia, less than a day's sail from the mainland their ship was attacked by pirates, everyone on board was killed and the ship was scuttled, only the floating wreckage found several days later by a passing war galley gave any clues to what happened. Barnettes mother was grief stricken and she spiraled into deep depression, to the point where she would not get out of bed for days at a time, she never fully recovered. because there was no-one to take care of the estate, barnette's family fought over their assets, the one thing no-one wanted however was young master barnette. he was forced to go live with his uncle in the slums of Taldor. His Uncle was a drunk and a gambler and had been disowned by the family and cut off from any inheritance, he resented barnette as a reminder of his short comings and frequently beat him in drunken fits of rage. one night Barnette's uncle lost a particularly large bet to a crime lord and when he couldnt pay thugs come to their home and took Barnette as a slave. Barnette was promptly was sold as a prostitute to a Calistrian temple. Barnette spent the next 10 years at the temple learning the arts of seduction and manipulation he also soon realized that he could gathering information from his cohorts as well as some of his clients. barnette enjoyed knowing the many secrets of the noble clientele but he never thought of it as much value until He managed to find out about an assassination attempt on the emperor. At first Barnette thought nothing of it and took it as drunken boasting of a few mercenaries, how ever after hearing gossip from the other prostitutes that confirmed barnettes suspicions he decided he had to tell someone. Barnette had heard rumors of a group called the lion blades, a supposed network of spy's that work for the emperor, and it was said that several of the temples clients we part of this group. Barnette spent several days deducing who it could be and then finally approached one of the women and he told her what he had found out. At first the woman was skeptical but as she questioned barnette she realised that his information had some merit and was surprised at his guile and wit, especially in working out that she belonged to the lion blades. Luckily they were able to act on the information at the last moment and the attempt was foiled. There are several assassination attempts every year on the emperor yet none ever get very close, usually the lion blades sniff out the plot and arrest the assassins before they start.This attempt was different and the emperor wanted a fully inquiry on how this happened. After it was brought to light that a courtesan was the one that put the plot together, The Emperor granted barnette an audience. The Emperor asked barnette if he would like a reward. When barnette asked for a ship the emperor was intrigued so barnette explained his history and explained how he wanted to become a merchant. The emperor was impressed that instead of jst asking for gold, barnette instead asked for a means to make it himself so he granted Barnette a ship and a small kitty of gold to get him started. After almost a decade of being a merchant Barnette become renown for his ability to make a profit. Barnette continued to trade information as well as spices and silks and on several occasions he helped the lion blades with information to protect the crown. Only a couple of years ago Barnette was awarded a Noble title for his assistance in protecting the crown and for his contribution to the economy and taldors trade relations.. Personal Motivations:
Barnette has designs on being the "Master of Coin" as well as a trusted adviser to the emperor. He also has an alterier motive of revenge. Barnette has been dreaming of revenge of against the crime lord that sold him into slavery since he was a young boy, Barnette has always know who the crime lord was and has had more than a few occasions where he could have hired assassins to kill the man, however Barnette is patient. He wants to wait until he can expose the crime lord who also happens to be a noble and then have him exiled from taldor. The Noble in question is a member of a particularly powerful family with known ties to the underworld and is also a powerful player in the royal court. Barnette must rise to power and turn the other nobles against him as well as gaining the kings ear and favor so that he can exact his revenge. Barnette Bright the 12th Stat Block:
