Character Description: The rumors of Quarios having artifacts that date back to Netheril aren't entirely false, during an early expedition surrounding the underdark environment of Anauroch he discovered the lair of a phaerim that escaped before the sharn was cast. Quarios did battle with the phaerim and destroyed it. After the battle was done he found a set of 5 nether scrolls detailing several ancient and powerful spells. What he intends on doing with the scrolls has yet to be seen, but what ever it is its a sure bet that it can be anything but good for Faerun. Quarios is the 2nd child of Qilue Valderan one of the seven sisters, Quarios showed a fanatical aptitude for magic and was able to cast his first spell at the age of 13,whitch earned him the nickname Karsus. Quarios was not like the other followers of Eilistraee in the sense that he did not follow the goddess or any other deity for that matter and devoted more time to his magic. Over the decades Quarios became more cruel and evil and began show his underdark cousins thirst for power. Qilue constantly tried to calm his growing evil and tried to show him the way of Elistraee but to no avail. The final straw came when he broke into Blackstaff tower in search of more power items. He was caught by some of Khelben's apprentices which he proceeded to slaughter without mercy. Khelben (after hearing the sounds of the massacre) intervened and did battle with Quarios. Even though Quarios was not a chosen of Mystra, his skill and strategy with magic was so great he was able to fight Khelben to a stalemate and escape. Afterward Qilue and her sister Laeral confronted him about the deaths of the apprentices, not wanting to get punished he attacked and gravely injured Laeral and would of killed Qilue if not for Khelben intervening and stopping him. They did battle a second time and Quarios, being to weak from the previous battle escaped using a teleport spell to the surrounding underdark. After days of wandering he came across a drow caravan which took him to the drow city of Sshaman. He currently resides their where and uses it as a starting of point for his many expeditions.
