About Lem NevercotBackground:
Lem Nevercot's given name was Gruckalus, with no surname since slaves need none. He was born in Corentyn, the hereditary property of a sprawling extended family of halflings in service to the noble house Crispin. His people have been slaves to the Crispins since before the Thrune Ascendancy. Gruckalus always chafed under the rules of the house and suffered the masters' harsh punishments more often than any two of his cousins. Luckily for him, he was particularly blessed with a charming personality, a piercing insight, and quick fingers. This latter was especially prized by his owners since he became a valued dealer at his masters' frequent card games- faro being his particular specialty. Being in Corentyn was central to his eventual escape plan, as the city hosts dozens of non-Chelaxian flag ships at any given time. He planned escapes as a matter of course, but it wasn't until a particularly harsh beating that he ran away. Ironically given all his planning, he ended up on the first ship sailing and wound up on a ship bound for Corvosa. He had been palming coins at the tables for years and managed to build up a moderate purse, which he used to bribe a ship's quartermaster. He changed his name and his appearance on arriving but quickly lost his entire stake and found himself living on the streets. It was only through the intervention of the gods- one who apparently found his everyday schemes and desire for freedom endearing- that he has managed to stay alive all this time. While clever, he tends to jump first before thinking things through all the way, such as when he hopped on the first ship out of Corentyn or when he jumped in to help his soon-to-be best friend when he was being jumped by a trio of thugs in an alley. Things usually turn out for him, though, just as helping that young man helped him find a place to live in the tangle of overhanging and overlapping shanties that is the Shingles. It's that young man who Gaedren Lamm has consigned to death, Lem's best friend Matrim. Young Mat is accused of murdering a watchman who Lem suspects was killed by Gaedren Lamm's own people. He had been tracking down the fisherman who accidentally witnessed the real murder but then the fisherman turned up dead as well. Personality Traits:

OLD SHEET:
Lem Nevercor's given name was Gruckalus, with no surname since slaves need none. He was born in Corentyn, the hereditary property of a sprawling extended family of halflings in service to the noble house Crispin. His people have been slaves to the Crispins since before the Thrune Ascendancy. Gruckalus always chafed under the rules of the house and suffered the masters' harsh punishments more often than any two of his cousins. Luckily for him, he was particularly blessed with a charming personality, a piercing insight, and quick fingers. This latter was especially prized by his owners since he became a valued dealer at his masters' frequent card games- faro being his particular specialty. His grandfather was the one who brought him into the secret brotherhood of the Reaper of Reputation, having noticed Gruckalus's precociousness and deciding that the young man needed to have a purpose or he would get himself killed. Unfortunately for his grandfather, Gruckalus had as much respect for Norgorber as he did for Asmodeus, and while he studied the canon and said all the right things, he never really believed and was never blessed with their god's divine blessings. Being in Corentyn was central to his eventual escape plan, as the city hosts dozens of non-Chelaxian flag ships at any given time. He planned escapes as a matter of course, but it wasn't until a particularly harsh beating that he ran away, stowing away on a ship bound for Andoran. He had been palming coins at the tables for years and managed to build up a moderate purse, which he used to bribe a ship's quartermaster. He changed his name and his appearance when his unfortunate vessel was taken by pirates even managing to convince the pirates that he was a cleric of Besmara, conjuring up divine magic for the first time in his life under the stress of grievous bodily harm and while working under a double false name. His current theory is that his name change and quick thinking under pressure convinced Norgorber that he was worthy of a place in his priesthood. Lem still doesn't quite revere his deity the way a cleric is expected to, but likes to think he makes his god proud through his daily actions. Lem drifted up through the River Kingdoms, eventually discovering that it isn't just slavery that he dislikes, it's settling in one place for too long. He found a place with a group who preys on too-wealthy or too-pious crusaders, but his conscience started bothering him for selling religious icons that weren't holy and magic items that didn't work. In Kenabres he found a huge number of targets at his disposal among the rigid and often hypocritical inquisitors and would-be paladins who would much rather be seen to be more pious than others rather than fighting the literal demons outside the walls. He gathers secrets and fights them in his own way, undoing plots and undermining those he thinks should be brought down a peg or three. While he hates slavery, he's not the type to go out of his way to free slaves or overthrow the institution. He's mostly happy he found a place so amenable to his preferred lifestyle, and if he ever thinks of his family back in Corentyn it's with a great deal of sadness, and if he's being honest with himself, not a little contempt that they accept the yolk so readily.
