[spoiler=History]

The Kessler family is able to trace it's lineage all the way back to the the founding of Northkeep, in 348AR. Always devout worshipers of Bane, they somehow survived that city's destruction, and migrated west, eventually settling in the border town, Voonlar.

There, they took on roles as minor priests, until such a time as the Zhentarim came and subjugated the people, turning Voonlar into a vassal colony. When this happened, worship of Bane became more acceptable, and so the family rose in power. It is now a noble house of some influence and wealth.
