Description

A shorter than average Wood Elf. He often appears unkempt, seemingly not caring how his hair looks or body smells. He is a mysterious and cunning student who is always looking to gain power and knowledge. He is a very quiet student and will likely not be encountered unless the party goes out of their way to talk to him. He is the culprit behind the killings in the college, having been gifted a powerful artifact and a journal detailing how to access Zirithar’s artifact by an outside individual seeking the college’s downfall.

Ideals

Vesper cares only for himself and will seek power through any means necessary.

Bonds

He is currently bonded by his mission to carry out the murders in the college and find Zirithar's artifact in its deepest dungeons.

Flaws

Vesper only works alone and scoffs at the idea of gaining from others help.
