Skerrin Wavechaser

Skerrin is secretly the head Brotherhood agent in town. Tall, lean, tan, with short silver hair, he speaks in precise, measured statements of a man who has a keen eye for detail. He is dispassionate and takes a protective stance toward Anders. To observers, he is nothing more than a faithful and trusted butler.

Skerrin was renowned for his patience during his days as an assassin for the Brotherhood. Once, he hid himself in the attic above a noble’s bedroom, waiting in a trance-like state for three days and nights until his target was positioned just below a small crack in the room’s ceiling. Skerrin squeezed a single drop from a vial of poison he carried on to the noble’s bald scalp. He waited in his hiding place for another full day until the contact poison killed the man.

Personality Traits. Skerrin is literally a man of two personalities. He appears to be a concerned, fatherly figure, a loyal retainer who worries about his young master. With a few moments of focus, however, he can shift to become a cold-blooded, patient killer.

Ideal. When operating as Anders’ servant, Skerrin believes that it is the duty of those with experience and wisdom to advise the young. As an assassin, he holds that those strong enough to survive flourish only by culling the weak.

Bond. Skerrin’s bond alternates between Anders and the Scarlet Brotherhood. He sees both as the best bets to bring order and security to the world.

Flaw. Arrogance. Skerrin genuinely believes that if he had to, he could murder everyone of consequence in town in a single night and secure the place for the Scarlet Brotherhood. Sometimes he is tempted to do so, if only to prove himself right.
