Character Name: Argus Ventra (Goes by the name of his brother, Rekkus Ventra)
Race: Vishkanya/Snakefolk (Looks a lot like a human with fine scales and almond shaped eyes) Age: 27 years Skin: Sapphire Blue/Dark Tan Scales, mostly Dark Tan with flowing Sapphire Blue scale patterns Hair: Medium Length, Black, usually in ponytail Eyes: Dark Blue Build: Thin/Athletic Height: 6’0” Weight: 175lbs. Religion: Unaffiliated Born to a poor, outcast family in the slums of the city state of Baldur’s Gate, Argus and his twin brother Rekkus were surrounded by suffering from an early age. As soon as they were able, Argus and Rekkus began lives of thievery to survive the harsh life of poor folk in Baldur’s Gate. Soon after reaching their teenage years, Argus’s parents died by the knife of a drunken pirate, near the docks of Baldur’s Gate. Rekkus took the loss much harder than Argus, and sought out a means to take vengeance against the pirate and his ilk. Argus simply delved deeper into his craft of thievery, and soon branched out into being a hired killer. By young adulthood, Rekkus had made first mate of the Pirate Hunter Vessel {Insert Name of Our Ship}, and was beloved by the crew. Rekkus and his fellow Pirate Hunters were contracted by the Lords of Waterdeep to hunt pirates up and down the Sword Coast. Argus, however, was taken under the wing of a poisoner and killer, by the name of Velhara the Spider (a female, human Vivisectionist). Velhara taught Argus the ways of the Achemist and Poisoner, and the two were inseparable for many years. When Velhara, or Vel, received a very lucrative contract, she and Argus travelled to Waterdeep in search of prey. The prey was none other than Argus’ brother, Rekkus, who was now the captain of the {Insert Name of Our Ship}, and was very successful in slaughtering pirates. Many of these pirates had bosses and friends, who would pay quite a bit to see Rekkus dead. Argus, however, was not informed of the target until it was too late. While Vel gathered Intel on Rekkus, Argus sought out his brother to attempt to reconcile with him. Over the weeks of intelligence gathering, Argus and Rekkus reconnected and Argus learned much of what his brother was up to. Rekkus even managed to convince Argus to join his crew once his other business was concluded. A month after they arrived, Vel informed Argus of the target; a ship’s captain staying at the Salted Kraken Inn. Vel gave Argus the room number, and when the target would be sleeping in his room. Argus poisoned his trusted Kukri, and set out into the night. Argus climbed into the room of the target, and then stabbed him in the heart, only realizing the target was his brother as Rekkus choked on his own blood. Argus was horrified, but regained some semblance of calm shortly after his brother drew his last breath. He then searched his brothers’ things, and gathered his brothers’ clothes and journal. Argus disposed of his brothers’ remains, and then snuck back into his room. For the next week, he remained within, learning all he could from Rekkus’ journals. When Argus was confident that he knew all he could of his brother and his brothers’ crew, he set out to find Vel. Argus was furious with Vel for “forgetting” to tell him who the target was. The two got into a heated argument, which ultimately ended their relationship. Though Argus still loved Vel, he hated her for what happened to his brother, almost as much as he hated himself. Argus then headed off to the {Insert Name of Our Ship} to attempt to atone for his brothers’ murder, and to carry on his good works…
This is the fluff for Argus Ventra, murderer, scoundrel, and now Captain of this merry crew... if that is permissible.
