Akil Ecall

Akil Ecall (a.k.a. Lucius)

"You see, in Athkatla, when you meet a new person, you exchange a gold coin, eh?"
— "Lucius" Ecall
Akil Ecall (also known as Lucius Ecall, born 6 Eleint 1470 DR) is a tiefling bard hailing from the Amnian city of Athkatla. Growing up a street urchin, he made his living as a con artist with his adoptive father, Tulio Ecall, who he took his surname from. Eventually he decided to leave Athkatla and found his way to Waterdeep, where he joined the Ardent mercenary company. Since then, he has become an invaluable member of Beta Team.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Akil was born in the city of Athkatla, in the southern part of the Sword Coast. Being a tiefling and forced to wander the streets for his early years, Akil had a rough childhood. At age seven, Akil attempted to steal from a man named Tulio Ecall, who was a renowned charlatan within the city. Rather that discipline the tiefling, Tulio took pity on him and decided to care for Akil.   After nine years of training, Akil had adopted Tulius' surname and struck out on his own. It was at this point he met Rosanna Ophal, and immediately fell in love. However, her familiy strongly disapproved of the tiefling charlatan, and forbade her to meet with him. As such, Akil departed from Athkatla and made his way north in order to make a name for himself. It was at this point that Akil discovered the Ardent, and decided to join them.   Following the Battle of Menzoberranzan, Akil left the Ardent when Beta Team disbanded. Using his money he gained over the previous year, he opened a small fencing school in Waterdeep.

    Contacts & Relations

    Tulio Ecall is the adoptive father of Akil, raising him on the streets of Athkatla. He taught Akil much about the world and himself, training the young tiefling to become a charlatan and a bard. In more recent history, Akil aided Tulio in getting enough money to leave the city of Athkatla and move to Waterdeep.   Rosanna Ophal is the love of Akil's life. Although she is a noble and far above Akil's "station", the two fell in love nevertheless. However, due to this difference in status, the Ophal family despises Akil, and believes he has wrongly seduced their daughter. In late 1493 DR, Akil helped Rosanna escape from her family and move to the city of Waterdeep, where she has begun a new life with the aid of Akil.

    Religious Views

    Growing up in Athkatla, it the religion of Waukeen was everywhere. If not literally, then her doctrine of trade and wealth. Akil, loving money, continues to worship her. He also worships another god - Oghma. This comes as no surprise, as Oghma is the god of bards, and Akil is a bard.
