About Reznik WyvernstoneReznik Wyvernstone
Background:
Reznik was only a Chelaxian lowborn but always had a sense of duty… of commitment. He was a lonely kid. His father, a smith, and his mother, a seamstress, spend their days working, trying to provide Reznik as good a life as they could. However, life is hard in the city and Reznik often had to help his father in the smithy or make errands for his mother while other kids his age spent their time playing on the streets of Egorian.
At the age of 16 he joined the city guard, earning him a decent pay and work he liked doing. He rose through the ranks of the local garrison, quickly becoming a squad leader. With his new position came new responsibilities: not only did he have several men under his command, he was also assigned a small city district to maintain and keep safe. His job wasn’t easy. Through experience he learned when to smile and when to draw his weapon. He learned how words could sway two people from killing each other. Determined as he was Reznik worked as hard as he could, apprehending many thieves and smugglers, or settling quarrels between neighbors. Reznik’s greatest accomplishment during his time in the city guard was the arrest of a serial killer who went by the nickname “Ghastly Gerard”. For weeks this man had terrorized the city, murdering several men. After days of searching homes, interrogating witnesses and tracking Gerard, the murderer was finally put behind bars. Reznik was congratulated for his effort and he was approached by a local cleric of Abadar. Displaying interest in Reznik and the way he solved the Gerard case, he made Reznik an offer. The church needed a man with his skills to root out the enemies of the Faith. There were many lawless regions, even in Cheliax, were men like Gerard existed. In exchange for Reznik’s servitude to Abadar, the church would provide for his parents. Reznik accepted the offer. The very next day, he resigned his position with the city guard and joined the Church of Abadar. During the following months he was trained by the best the local temple had at its disposal. Not only did he receive further martial training; he also discovered how to cast spell powered by Abadar himself. It was during his training that Reznik had a mysterious dream. In this dream he was approached by a young man in a golden breastplate. This stranger reassured him Reznik had made the right choice. That he could be Abadar’s eyes and ears where his clerics and paladins could not wander. He would be one of his blades in the dark. Invigorated by his dream, Reznik soon finished his training, ready for his first mission. The following years, Reznik travelled the lands, searching for the enemies of Abadar. Often he would be sent out by local clergy or receive word from messenger birds. By hiring mercenaries, he was able to defeat several bandit groups operating in the northern part of Cheliax. Favoring the indirect slashes of his new battle scythe, an unusual but effective weapon, he became known as “Reznik the Reaper”. During one of his missions, he was sent to a trading outpost both the church and the Aspis Consortium had an interest in. The region had suffered from several attacks from a marauding band of orcs. He was tasked to find the whereabouts of the orcs while an agent of the Consortium stayed behind with his soldiers and hired men to defend the outpost. After a fruitless search, Reznik returned to the outpost a couple of days later and arrived at a scene of devastation. The outpost had been ransacked, the bodies of both orcs, civilians and Consortium soldiers laying everywhere. After witnessing the scene and mourning the dead, Reznik had a clear goal in mind: punish the orcs and recover the stolen trade goods. He goaded the broken survivors to delivering swift justice to the orcs. With additional help of the church’s militant arm, the orcs were dealt with the following weeks. His actions did not go unnoticed. Rewarding him for his actions Reznik was given bronze agent status within the Consortium and ample pay. In addition, he was asked to travel to the distant city of Katapesh, where a man with his skills and commitment was sorely needed… Personality:
On the outside, Reznik’s face is as cold and emotionless as stone. This combined with his large form gives him an intimidating and at times unpleasant look. Reznik had few friends, something not uncommon in his line of work.
However, once someone pierces the hard exterior, they find someone likeable and friendly on the inside. Reznik is extremely loyal to both family and people he considers friends. Appearance:
Reznik has a powerful and imposing build, standing almost 6’2” tall. He has dark brown hair and green eyes. He has several scars from wounds he suffered during skirmishes in Egorian. He is neither attractive or ugly. Motivation:
Infiltrate the Consortium and monitor any criminal activity. Provide protection to innocents taking part in the expedition. Keep a close eye on several of the more dubious bronze agents present at the secret meeting. Male Human Fighter 1 Inquisitor of Abadar (Conversion Inquisition) 2 Age 25
