Background:
Expulsion. The price he paid for destroying ancient documents was expulsion from, not only the academy, but the city of Greengold. And when you are not an elf, being banished from Greengold is basically the same as being banished from the entire elven nation of Kyonin.
It was worth it, though. The scrolls he had found were written by an elven explorer who was pursuing ancient civilizations in the Inner Sea region. The documents spoke of ruins and treasures of a civilization of cyclopses, including tantalizing hints that he hadn’t seen before, details previously uncovered. By destroying the scrolls, he hoped to get to these sites before anyone else. In the decades since the expulsion, Dantes made his way south to the Inner Sea. He has made himself useful on ship after ship, using the passage to continue trying to gather information and find ruins. Years and years of merchant ship journeys brought Dantes little satisfaction. So one day he took an opportunity; when the vessel he was travelling on was boarded by pirates, Dantes offered his services. Leaving with only his spell book and his familiar, Dantes never looked back. Not only did pirates tend to go to more secluded and often abandoned locations (more conducive to his aims), but he found them to be much closer to kindred spirits than any of the merchants he had associated with. It has been decades now that he has plied the seas. During that time, he’s held most jobs you can in the seafaring community and accumulated a lot of lore. Time after time he's investigated rumors of a ruin or artifact, but each time he was disappointed. But once again, he thinks he’s struck a jackpot! In a few short hours, he’ll be meeting a contact that has for sale a detailed map to a cyclops empire ruin, one believed to be previously unexplored! With glee in heart at the prospect, coin in his pouch for the map and everything he owed on his person, Dantes set off to the Formidably Maid tavern to meet his contact, and his destiny.
Description:
Though stocky like most dwarves, Dantes is not particularly powerful looking. With unremarkable brown and eyes, he would easily disappear into any gathering of dwarves. He goes through pains to ensure that he does not look wealthy, knowing that likely marks him as a target in the pirate community. His clothing is plain, and valuable items are carefully stowed away.
Dantes is perfectly content to be the power behind the authority, installing someone to be a figurehead and allowing him to therefore freely pursue his interests. More than anything, he craves power, be it wealth, knowledge or arcane might.
