About Kedrick de' ThruneBackground:
Kedrick was born to Lily and Thomas de' Thrune of House Thrune. His parents had long hoped for a boy for the family after delivering four girls. He was their heir. Due to this, Kedrick's early childhood was enchanted. He had every pleasure expected a child of his status. Plans and ambitions were high for this young man. This all changed at the age of thirteen. At coming of age, the children of House Thrune were brought before the house's diviners. These diviners sought "gifted" children to be trained as agents of the powerful Chelaxian family. It was rare that a child was chosen and the fact none of his sisters had been given a second look caused his parents to be at ease on this fateful day. Surprisingly, not only was Kedrick selected he was immediately taken for training. The quick goodbye would be the last he would see of his family for years. The next five years were spent in training. He had been selected to become a spy for the house. He was trained in deceit, infiltration and the art of disguise. He also began to manifest special powers. He was able to read his instructors' and fellow pupils' minds. What he saw was alarming. During his childhood, he believed that people were good. This innocence was soon lost as he was able to see the hidden intent of those around him. The darkness was great in the human heart. He soon began to learn how to tell people what the wanted to hear and excelled at manipulating them. Other arcane powers arose as well. Powers that enhanced his ability to manipulate minds and the surroundings. His apprenticeship was a glaring success. He spent the last year of his training in the field manipulating political figures. His art at disguise coupled with a magical hat he had been given by his benefactor allowed him to infiltrate all of the royal Chelaxian Houses. He had separate aliases for each house. His professionalism and unemotional personality had him on the fast track to House Thrune master spy. His life took another turn soon after his apprenticeship. One of his instructors took him to dinner one night and recruited him for a different organization. One that was more powerful than even the ruling House of Cheliax. He explained that the affairs of House Thrune were important, but their was an organization he worked for that could cause an even greater expansion of the House's influence. Kedrick, who had little loyalty to his House, accepted the invitation seeing it as a greater challenge than the political nonsense he had been dealing with. He soon became a member of the Blood Knives. Upon swearing his loyalty to the Knives, he was given a magical dagger than he was told would continue to unlock his special talents. As he left that first meeting to begin training, he heard his former instructor whisper back to the council in awe..."Rakshas?..."Are you sure? Crunch:

1) What, exactly, can you bring to the Blood Knives? Kedrick can be anyone you want him to be: What do you need? Street begger, prince, diplomat..He can do all of these. He is built for infiltration both by stealth and disguise. Once deep under cover, he unveils his supernatural abilities.
