Ombrian d’Whiskyr

Full Name: Ombrian Rommalb d’Whiskyr

Alias(es): Considering his line of work, his lengthy life span and shape-changing abilities, Ombrian has assumed and discarded more personas than he need recall.

Race: Naztharune Rakshasa

Age: Does it really matter once you’ve past the quintuple digits?

Gender: Male

Appearance: Generally, Ombrian makes it his business to not be seen at all. Or, to be seen as someone else entirely. But in the event that you happen to be someone he considers a friend or colleague (or are capable of true-sight), you will observe a mature Naztharune Rakshasa, a black-furred feline-headed humanoid with palms wrong-side up. He’s of shorter stature and trim of build, which makes his work somewhat easier. Unlike most Rakshasa, Ombrian’s features are more leopard-like than tigerish, including dark rosette-like markings upon his coat.

Ombrian’s work and casual clothes are of simple, if well-made, design. He strives to balance elegance with efficiency. His colours of choice are black and green, and most of his wardrobe and belongings reflects this.

Demeanor: Ombrian is often pessimistic, mildly elitist and somewhat sarcastic. Introverted and aloof, he chooses his friends and allies carefully, and his enemies even moreso.

Ambition: Having settled into a routine over the past several millennia, Ombrian endeavors to support his comfortable lifestyle.

Profession(s): Aristocrat, Infiltrator, and Investigator

Class(es): Naztharune Rakshasa 16 lvl adj, Rogue 1 lvl, Ninja Spy 8 lvls

Religion: Noncommittal.

Alignment: Lawful-Neutral

Fighting Style: Step out of the all-concealing shadows, make a swift series of sneak attacks, return to the shadows. Repeat. Run away as needed.

History: Ombrian is a member of the D’Whiskyr clan, a Rakshasa family based on the world of Sert. A faction broken off from the original Rakshasa exploratory party, the D'Whiskyr clan is ancient, affluent, and private. Ombrian himself is a first generation Sertian(?) Rakshasa.

Considering his family's wealth, influence and standards, Ombrian received an excellent education in the arts of infiltration and assassination. However, seeing the heavy toll a life of evil had taken on his family’s various ventures and members (Damn pesky good-aligned adventurers), as he matured Ombrian decided that a less. . . morally controversial line of work would better suit his desire for a longer life span. Applying an education in assassination to a life of espionage was not a difficult transition, and Ombrian found that the commission to acquire certain objects or information could match that for a writ to end a sentient life.

As he grew in personal wealth and experience, Ombrian also grew less dependent on his family's network of clients. He found work that didn't leave a bad taste in his mouth and allowed him to indulge in his predilection to traverse the planes. During his ‘youth’, his constant search for interesting texts and his hobby of taking very odd jobs brought him in contact with one Kergahan Astrimagausith. The ensuing escape from the Nine Hells of Baator forged a strong bond between the two and shook some of Ombrian’s misconceptions about ‘lesser’ races. It also furthered his shift toward neutrality.

Following this experience, Ombrian redoubled his training and took a bit more care in his diversions. This included opting for jobs that were interesting and challenging without being outright suicidal and taking pains to gather as much information about an assignment before taking action. After one such task, involving the retrieval of some ancient texts from a Githyanki faction, he was able gain an invitation to the Illumian Library of the New in Elirhondas, something the bibliophile was so grateful for he retroactively took the job pro bono.

Ombrian has since become somewhat apathetic to the material plane’s ever-changing hustle and bustle and, to some degree, settled down. He currently resides in a pocket dimension, a boon granted by a very appreciative, very powerful client. The dimension is tied to the Outlands. It consists of a small estate, a bungalow and well-manicured grounds. Ombrian lives alone, his mundane concerns tended to by his valet, Hobbes. He spends much of his time reading, corresponding with old friends or taking the occasional odd job.

Sometimes, despite his agelessness, Ombrian wonders if he’s grown old.
