Vermithrel



Vermithrel is a 150 year old Forsaken elf adopted as a child by a merchant family of humans in Brastlewark. The fate of his elven parents is unknown. They are assumed to have been killed or captured by parties unknown as they traveled through the Aspodell mountains. Vermithrel was found unconscious near the burning wreck of the family’s carriage. Since his adoption, Vermithrel has lived with or near the same family and seen several generations grow old and die. To each new generation of children, he is known as their cousin “Mithrel” and he watches over them with affection.

Having lived most of his life before the rise of the diabolists, Vermithrel is more aware than most of the profound changes around him in Cheliax. He knows that elves and other non-humans are often conveniently labeled as traitors by those who are either looking for social advancement or to escape a charge of treason themselves. When traveling, he goes about his business cautiously. He often wears a heavy hooded cloak to hide his elven identity.
