What you should know about me:
If I'm doing my job, as little as possible I suppose. Or as much as possible, depending on how I feel the day you ask. No, I'm not trying to by cheeky; it's the truth. Ok, perhaps a little explanation is in order. You see, my job is to be evasive while charming your boots off to such a degree that you don't mind that I'm not actually telling you anything that has any value. Not working? Fine; then I guess honesty will just have to do in this case. Well, mostly honesty...
I have been working as an Intelligencer for the Strangelight Workshop for a few years now. You know, ever since I packed my bags and left Five Fingers to come to Ceryl. When I got here, I actually tried to make a living as a professional thief. That is in fact a profession you know? Thief. Cutpurse. Pilferer. Burglar. Trouble is... it just wasn't for me. Not as a career anyway. You have to live a certain way to be a professional thief. It mostly involves not being able to trust anyone. Like ever. Um... that's not my thing. So in looking at what I enjoyed the most out of being a thief, I quickly came to the decision that it wasn't so much about "stuff". Mind you. stuff is great. I don't mind stuff. As a matter of fact, I love stuff. But for me the real joy came from getting into places I wasn't supposed to be. Or discovering things I wasn't supposed to see. Or meeting people in circles I was never in a million years supposed to walk. So I became a spy. Yep, those exist too. We don't generally call ourselves 'spies' though. We like 'Intelligencer' - it sounds more professional.
So when the Workshop hired me, I realized it was a great fit. And I'm really good at it. Like, really good. I could tell you about all my aliases and the fun things I get to do as those made-up people. But I think you'll appreciate it more if you read about it instead. Let's see, you should probably also know that I am an apostate. When I was in Five Fingers I got involved with this religion that follows the god Menoth. It was with a group of people that really watched each others backs. But I didn't count on the fact that they are, well... crazy. Like, really zealous crazy. So I left. And will forever be known as an apostate. So be it. As for the current group I'm in? Love them! All of them. Big fan. Kaar and I have been together the longest. He works with me at the Workshop. He's a great, great dwarf. Really watches out for me. Thinks I don't know. I do.

Role in the Party:
Well, there are normally five of us. Six when we bring along a rookie; err, I mean guest. Sometimes there's four of us; when Alexandra is away on church business. But normally it's five of us. My role in the group is getting us into tricky places or finding out information that we aren't supposed to have. Turns out, in the world of investigation, both these things happen a lot. Or at least they seem to happen way more often than I ever thought. I'm having so much fun, it isn't even funny. Need to improve my combat skills a tad though. Not a huge fan of fighting fairly. Not a huge fan of fighting at all in fact. But I'll learn.
