{6 damage}
Assassin’s Shroud
At-Will * Shadow
Free Action Close burst 10
Target: One enemy you can see in burst
Effect: You subject the target to your shroud. If any of your shrouds are already on the target, you subject it to an additional shroud, up to a maximum of four. The shrouds last until you use this power against a different enemy or until the end of the encounter. Before you make an attack roll against the target, you choose to invoke either all your shrouds on it or none of them. If you invoke your shrouds, the attack deals 1d6 damage per shroud, minus one shroud if the attack misses, and all your shrouds then vanish from the target. This damage roll never benefits from bonuses to damage rolls, and is in addition to the attack’s damage, if any.
Level 11: 1d6 + 3 damage per shroud.
Level 21: 1d6 + 6 damage per shroud.
Special: You can use this power only on your turn and only once per turn.
{Per feat: Currently 1d8+5 per shroud}

Nayce's parentage is a bit of a mystery. He was raised by a human couple who operated an inn in a frontier town. He knows they are not his birth parents (they're both human, to begin with), but they either don't know where he came from, or have let on that they don't know for one reason or another. While he maintains a certain fondness for his adoptive parents, he was always a wild child, and thus it came as no surprise that he ran off on his own during his teenage years.
His travels in the frontier brought him in contact with many travelers, adventurers, and other odd sorts. Early on he fled to the city and made his way as a cutpurse, learning stealth and how to handle a blade. In short order, however, he found himself on the wrong side of the law, and fled underground - deep underground.
He might have perished there had a mysterious half-drow hermit named Vernyth not taken him under his wing. Vernyth was outcast among the drow, largely because of his mixed blood, but he was well-versed in the magic of the Shadowfell. He trained Nayce to combine his martial skill with the mysterious magical arts of the assassin.
In time, however, they had to flee, as the vengeful drow discovered where Vernyth had been hiding. Vernyth transported them both to the Shadowfell, but they became separated. Nayce wandered the Shadowfell for three years, never finding his old mentor, and fighting for his life at every turn, until he eventually located a portal to return him to the Prime.
Since then, Nayce has gained a reputation as a man who is willing to do the dirty work of those who cannot or will not for themselves. That reputation has given him the ability to be choosey, and he refuses to participate in operations that violate his own unique moral compass. Largely, that compass can be summed up as an "ends justify the means" approach, and he does not hesitate to swiftly remove anyone who stands in the way of a just cause.
