Born on the Elemental Plane of Air, Ullie spent the early years of his life soaring its infinite skies with his family. There was little reason for him to even consider life outside of the Plane of Air, until the day the devil came. A rakshasa came their in search of some artifact that was supposedly buried near their home. It killed his mate & their 1 year old daughter, Ullie narrowly escaping its grasp and managing to hide in the clouds before making his retreat. After ensuring the rakshasa had left, he set his family to their final rest, then began the long journey to the rift long guarded by the Ashari people. He crossed over to the Material Plane with vengeance in his heart & murder in his eyes, explaining his plight in order to garner passage. His story struck a particular cord with Headmaster Keyleth, who offered to help him in his quest. Taking time to perform a ritual, she discovered the true name of the rakshasa that had slain his family to be Ith'tarath, a clue worth its weight in platinum.
Vowing to one day repay this monumental favor to the Air Ashari, he departed Zephrah in search of a way to enact his vengeance. Always naturally gifted with thrown blades & a compulsive kleptomaniac with no understanding of ownership, Ullie is a natural born rogue with a knack for scouting out trouble that is hard to surpass.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
**OPTION FOR DM TO BALANCE AN AARAKOCRA IN THE PARTY** Potentially have one of his wings in need of long term regeneration / recuperation that prevents flight at the lower levels. Would be something done to him by the rakshasa, an injury that he had to push through the pain of in order to escape the Elemental Plane of Air, but left him crippled for a longer time by over-exerting it.
Facial Features
- Hooked eagle's beak, yellow transitioning to black at the tip
Physical quirks
- Cleans feathers & talons frequently when not being actively engaged, with no regard for social etiquette.
Special abilities
Winged Flight: 50 ft speed, capable of hovering roughly in place at a minimum distance of 10 ft off the ground, can fly continuously for as long as other humanoids can travel in a day without suffering from exhaustion, roughly 8-10 hours.
Apparel & Accessories
- Studded Leather Armor custom fitted to allow room for his wings
- Tail feathers of his former mate & daughter pressed into a book, the 5 longest remaining from each.
Specialized Equipment
- Master at the art of boomerang style throwing, taught from an early age in the Elemental Plane of Air for obvious reasons, ensuring that his weapons return to him whether they strike their intended target, or not. (Cultural explanation of lvl 1 feat's mildly "absurd" ability)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
- 3 years growing up with parents in Elemental Plane of Air
- Left the nest, striking out to find his own mate
- Started a family, had a daughter
- Family slain by a rakshasa before daughter's 2nd birthday
- Left the Elemental Plane of Air via the rift into Zephrah
Gender Identity
Male - He/His/Him
Sexuality
Straight - Widower not looking to replace his lost mate (yet). Also, he's worried that any interspecies sexual relations may result in an abomination of a child due to his avian physiology, which makes mating options few & far between.
Education
Small family unit - survivalist lifestyle in the Elemental Plane of Air
Employment
Without a concept of ownership, Ullie sees little reason for a job, he forages for his sustenance naturally & prefers perch atop a tree outside rather than ever get a room at an inn.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Befriended Headmaster Keyleth enough to learn the name of the rakshasa responsible for his anguish
Failures & Embarrassments
- Couldn't protect his family from becoming collateral damage in the rakshasa's quest for power
Mental Trauma
- Was forced to watch & listen to his family being slain by a devil of the Hells.
Intellectual Characteristics
An avid puzzle solver, Ullie has turned nearly all of his attention towards the investigation into the rakshasa, Ith'tarath. He is aware that in order to complete his goal, it will require more skills than he alone will ever possess.
Morality & Philosophy
Ownership as a concept is completely lost on Ullie, thus "theft" doesn't even register as immoral or a bad behavior in the first place. Recognizes that his desire for vengeance would be considered an evil act if the target of his fury wasn't an actual fiend from the Nine Hells, but that fact likely wouldn't change his actions, no matter who had killed his family.
Taboos
- Prefers raw meat to cooked
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
- Cultivate a team of people that are capable (or will be one day) & willing to assist him in killing Ith'tarath, once & for all, to avenge the deaths of his former mate & daughter.
- Find a new purpose in life.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Savvies
- Eagle eyes that spot almost everything
- Tunnel visioned & reckless whenever a fiend is involved in a situation
Likes & Dislikes
Likes
- Soaring through the air as high up as he can get, it reminds himself of his home in the Elemental Plane of Air
- Seafood - a rare delicacy where he is from, only found where the Plane of Air borders with the Plane of Water
- All fiends
- Being cooped up inside or underground for any amount of time
- Riding any type of animal (refuses unless flight isn't an option, preferring riding only to walking)
Vices & Personality flaws
- Overly focused on revenge
Hygiene
Keeps himself in pristine condition always, cleaning his feathers whenever there is a free moment or a particular need. Won't voluntarily get: dirty, muddy, oily, etc without serious cause because of its effects on his ability to fly.
