In Korvosa, one can hardly throw a stone without hitting something named after the famous gentleman explorer Montlarion Jeggare or one of his descendants. It is small wonder that Terrion Jeggare grew up with a deep love of his native city. He swam in the river tha bore his name, watched ships loaded with wonders arrive at the docks run by his family and listened with rapt attention when his uncle Mercival, curator of the Jeggare museum, told stories of the heroes that made Korvosa great. Whenever he spied a flight of Sable Company Marines patrol the skies on their fabled hippogriff mounts, his heart would race, and he would dream of one day joining them, keeping Korvosa safe from above.

As a son born of House Jeggare, Terrion was introduced to the intrigues and schemes among the nobles at a young age. The Jeggare lines of credit are the fuel of most political squabbles in Korvosa, and more than once, he witnessed the lengths others would go to curry favor with his family. He detested the false displays of courtesy from nobles and merchants alike and found it difficult to get along with his peer, always suspecting their motives of wanting his friendship. As the teenage Terrion grew more and more surly, his parents decided that a change of scenery would do the boy good. At the age of 14, he was sent to live with family in Magnimar. Little could they know that their well-meant gesture could not have been a worse punishment for Terrion.

For the next five years, Terrion dreamt of returning to his beloved Korvosa. However, he was determined to do so in his own way. Once he came of age, he wrote his family and informed them that he had decided to travel the Inner Sea, in search of adventure and relics for his uncle's museum collection. But instead, he assumed the name of Elric Rivers (after the river that bears his true name) and left Magnimar with the intention of returning to Korvosa.

He did not return directly, though. His first stop was the small town of Ilsurian, situated on the northern banks of Lake Syrantula at the mouth of the Skull River. Here, he spent two years training at Ilsur's Arena, which was established for the training of warriors who would be marched against Korvosa. Terrion was determined his skills would be used to defend his hometown, not threaten it.

He dedicated himself to training his mind and body, his skill with weapons and his knowledge of warfare. He mastered the bow, the lucerne hammer and the longsword. His goal - to join the ranks of the Sable company and fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a true guardian of Korvosa.

He knew that his family name might make it easier to secure a position in the company, but he wanted to make it on his own. He would be accepted by virtue of his skills and dedication, not the size of his family's purse. And he would be sure that his fellow marines respected him as one of their own. So it was that he found himself back in his native city, content to hide behind his assumed name for now.

Thanks to his training, abilities and determination, he secured a place among those accepted to the Endrin Military Academy. Here, he excelled in every aspect of the training. After graduation, the young recruit was soon selected for a tour of duty aboard one of the ships sailing out of Veldraine to patrol Conquerors Bay beyond the great chain. If all goes well, this promising youth may rise far in the ranks of the Sable Company.

Now that his tour of duty on the naval vessel over, the Sable Company Marine who calls himself Elric Rivers is eager to return to Korvosa.

Terrion is a tall and muscular young man. He moves with the practiced ease of a warrior, and usually wears armor bearing the Sable company insignia as well as a bow, a longsword and a long lucerne hammer.
His dark hair is cut short, and his piercing steel-blue eyes don't miss much.

Terrion is driven by a deep and profound love for the city and her people, but not for its decadent ruler and scheming nobles. He feels he is carrying on his heritage by helping to protect it. He has little use for political intrigue, as apparent by his choice to hide his true identity.
He is friendly towards others who display the same affection for Korvosa but has little regard for individuals motivated by self-interest and greed.
