Background & Personality

Ellion Stryfe is known for his cold precision and ruthless nature. As a former member of a drow noble house, he sought greater freedom and power beyond the confines of Underdark society. He found solace in the treacherous coastline caves and abandoned underwater ruins, places that reminded him of the hidden mysteries and dangerous beauty of his homeland. There, he practices forbidden magics and communes with eldritch entities that linger in the shadows of the deep.

Ellion is meticulous and calculating, using his knowledge of the arcane and the natural dangers of the sea to manipulate those around him. He has little patience for those who fail to respect his authority but can recognize talent and intelligence when he sees it. Though he serves his own interests, he values order and hierarchy, and he has a keen sense of where he fits into the larger machinations of power.

Ideal: “Knowledge and power are meant for those with the will to seek them, regardless of the cost.”
Bond: Ellion is obsessed with uncovering an ancient artifact buried within a submerged ruin, believing it will grant him dominion over both land and sea.
Flaw: He is dismissive of those he deems beneath him, making it difficult for him to accept when others have knowledge he lacks.
