Character Description
and History
Appearance
Caith is a generally charming, bright eyed woman. She appears a
lot younger than she is. Caith is fair with cute angular features
and a mischevious smile.
Her hair is cut short like a young page, simply because it is easier
to keep in the profession she is in. A black spiral shaped tattoo
adorns the back of her neck. It is the mark of a thieves’ guild
in Iriaebor that she once belonged to. The guild is now extinct,
but a few survivors beside Caith remain.
She speaks in a low soothing, voice that is not unkind to hear.
Caith tries to keep a low profile and is generally very polite.
The clothes and equipment she is wearing is almost always in good
repair.
History
"I’ve certainly been to other places – Cormyr, Osteir,
Westgate. It was in Cormyr where I ran into a great deal of bad
luck. Well I won’t bore you with the details, but I found myself
on the run, fleeing north. I ended up in the Stonelands with very
little in the way of provisions."
"The good news is I’m alive and well to tell the tale
of my long sleep. I was happy not to be spending time in some dungeon
or worse a chopping block! I was, however, utterly lost. Having
strayed far from any recognizable path, bad turned to worse as it
began to rain! I sought refuge in a cave and came upon the remnants
of a campsite. When I moved deeper into the cave and started a fire
a saw two dead fellows – mere skeletons in rags."
"As I went through their belongings I found several valuable
items and pocketed them immediately. I examined the copses that
were many winters old. Neither were heavily armed and there was
no armor or shields about. Nor were their horses, but oddly enough
there were saddlebags tucked in the depths of the cave. Here my
curiosity had gotten the best of me. I remember finding three tomes
and opening the first page of the largest one – then a blinding
light seemed to light the whole cave. It was so brilliant that it
hurt my eyes. As I blinked, I became very dizzy – suddenly
all was well and a beautiful elven female stood over me. She was
leaning over me giving me feywine mixed with water. I could not
recall how I ended face-up on the earth."
"We were not alone, there were others in the cave. There was
a one-eyed dwarf and a wild elf. Both heavily armed. The long and
the short of it is the largest tome’s ward had me held in a
force field for eight winters! For me no time had gone by at all,
but I had been out of circulation for nearly a decade. My deliverers
have turned out to have good intentions and have since become my
friends. We’ve traveled many leagues together. I’m just
grateful that it was eight years instead of eighty!"

Character Description and History
"My short history is filled with pain. Yes, yes. I’m
getting to it! My cousin always says that deep down I’m just
full of resentment and hatred. When I ask why? She replies ‘everything.’
What does that mean?"
"Anyway, my mum was an adventurer so Caith tells me. She was
from, uh, from Athkatla in Amn. I don’t remember her. It still
makes me angry. She was murdered when I was still a baby. My father
and Caith’s father were brothers. They’re both gone now,
too. Just like my mother, gone."
"I was raised with the other kin. I won’t say more about
that. I can’t talk too much about the thieves’ guild.
But it’s where Caith’s sister started teaching me. I had
a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles there, but not all were blood
relatives. I turned to stealing well. I learned much. Not long after
Caith’s sister died, Caith showed up at the ‘family dwelling’.
Eight winters had come and gone and no one had heard from her. I
was too young to remember the day she left us."
"She came with outsiders and things got really complicated.
I’m still not sure what happened, but Caith and her friends
angered the elder somehow, but there was another guild and their
elder got involved in the mess too. Well, I’m not sure, but
they had to leave in a hurry and I decided to follow. They say that
our guild is no more. Everybody went their separate ways. Hmm, I
really shouldn’t say any more about that. It would be an adventurer’s
life for me! Wherever, Caith goes I now go. She’s my good friend
and I have nowhere else to go."
"No other guild would have me after what they said I did!
I never poisoned a guildmaster! All lies! Caith did, but she’s
denying it all the time. I guess I had no choice but to follow her.
I help a lot with the Company. They don’t seem to mind having
me along. Lady Snowling is a great friend. She’s a beautiful
elven princess. She says that I have an old soul."

Character Description and History
"I was Born in small Hobbit village near the sea. We call
it "Tilo" or Seafarthing. Yes, Seafarthing was a wonderful
home, a place of pleasure and comfort. I still remember playing
with friends. I was the best at unlocking the big doors into old
Bolger’s silversmithy."
"When I was a little sprout I would always hear the tales
of my uncle Nate, a retired adventurer. The world seemed so exciting.
I thought it would a good and easy life with five meals a day and
much entertainment. I was mistaken, of course, but after some mishaps
I met Caith and her young cousin. It was then that our luck began
to change."
