Jiang Telethearn

Jiang Telethearn Jiang is a young Half-Elf who is trying to find his place in the world. His Elven blood makes him wily and quick, but his Human blood makes him crass and brash.

Personality
Jiang is a fiery, passionate young man. He is very loyal, but slow to trust, preferring his own company to that of others. Jiang is quiet and somewhat secluded, but does open up on occasion. He is a man on the edge, that much is fairly obvious. His life has never been easy, and it shows in every action that he makes.

Appearance
Jiang is a wily young man, agile and light on his feet, but passionate and fiery. He doesn't look very intimidating at a glance, but his martial prowess is nothing to scoff at. Jiang appears young, and in reality he is, though his eyes betray just how much he has seen in his short years. He has short brown hair and dark green eyes that are Elven in shape. He is skinny yet athletic, his clothing and armor covering lean muscle.

History
Jiang was born to an Elven mother and a Human father. Both had worked for years for a guild in Calimport, one of the many criminal groups that actually ran the streets of the bustling metropolis. Neither were originally from Calimport, so Jiang doesn’t have the dark complexion of the natives, though he does share many of their ways. Life in Calimport was a rough one, but his parents made it through thick in thin, relying on martial prowess, luck, skill, and each other.

They rose through the ranks of the guild, slowly building a small amount of money and a solid living. They were happy, but the life they had could not be held onto forever. It was dangerous, and Jiang’s father was reaching middle age. He wanted to settle down, to put down the sword and stop the trickery, to open a shop or to move north and start a family. Jiang’s mother, barely an adult by her people’s standards, was still restless, and wanted to be active, but she settled down out of love.

But one does not simply cease the life they had. They used the money they had, and the contacts they had made, to drop out of the guild without much notice. No one came the first night, or the second, so they thought they were safe. His parents packed their things and moved north to Waterdeep. His parents opened a small shop and nine months later Jiang was born.

The first few years in Waterdeep went fine. His parents were happy, though restless some of the time, and Jiang was growing into a smart young kid, despite being a Half-Elf in a human society. But one doesn’t simply walk away from the life that they held without some sort of repercussion. The guild they had left was not happy, and knew exactly where they were.

The Assassin stole into their house in the dead of night. Jiang’s mother barely heard the attacker before it was on them. She took up her blade after years to defend her family, while Jiang’s father came for him. All Jiang can remember from that night is his father bursting in and telling him to run, before running back out. Jiang, ever the stubborn boy, followed his father, crying from fear and surprise. He only remembers one thing after that, seeing his mother’s body sprawled on the ground, and a shadow leap from the window.

Jiang’s father shut the shop down, and they fled. He tried to raise the boy alone, but grief and anger warred in him, and passed on to his child. Before long they found themselves back in Calimport, and his father started slipping back into his old ways under a different name. As soon as he was old enough, Jiang joined him, and they both worked for one of the smaller guilds, biding their time. One night, years later, Jiang’s father came in smiling for the first time since his mother died. He had found a way in, a way to revenge his mother’s death.

The guild his parents used to work for had grown powerful, but in their power they had grown prideful and sloppy. Jiang and his father stole in, as the assassin had to his home so many years ago. The leaders of the guild were gathered together, losing themselves in drugs and women. Pompous swine. They died in droves.

As the last one fell, Jiang felt nothing. No relief, no sorrow, no happiness, nothing. After they returned home, his father shut down. It was a week later that Jiang walked in to see a shadow slip out of his father’s window, his father limp on the ground, a smile on his face. Feeling returned; a bitter need for revenge and vengeance. Clearly there was still more to be done. He took up his father’s sword and never looked back
