Kohvneir Lorfras

Kohvneir Lorfras (a.k.a. Kohv)

Born in a small village on the border of Tymantheran territory, Kohvneir was just a child when his home was raided by Untheric army deserters. His parents and siblings were all killed in the ensuing raid, with Kohvneir and another boy from the village, Iomar, being taken together and eventually sold off into slavery to Thay. The two of them would start as servants to an up-and-coming noble and his family, serving there for many years until the man's assassination. Kohv and Io would then be sold off into gladiatorial service, eventually being bought off once again and transferred into the military, years following. They would initially be a part of the country's slave infantry, but would later be assigned to a slave-hunting detachment near the end of their "career." The two would eventually manage an escape, coming into contact with an underground freedom train movement that would manage to smuggle them out of the country. They would carefully navigate the lands over the next 6-12 months, taking jobs here and there in order to sustain themselves until their path would finally leave them at Waterdeep's steps. (Born under the Sign of the Star and with the New Selûne under the Sign of the Eagle)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Kohvneir holds strong with a large, muscular build. He stands taller than most dragonborn one might come across, pressing a small few inches beyond what would typically be considered his race's maximum height.

Identifying Characteristics

His body is littered with a flurry of mismatched scars. It would be readily evident to any who saw that the man has been in a significant amount of battles throughout his life.

Right beneath the shoulder of his left arm sits a pair of numerals rather "delicately" carved into his flesh, which read the number 16. The scarring has healed well with age, but the numbering would appear clear and apparent between his scales to any who looked. He almost always has the area wrapped over with bandaging of some sort to cover the markings from any who may happen to see him without a shirt.

Special abilities

As a dragonborn of gold descent, he has the ability to draw breaths of flame with limited use each day.

Apparel & Accessories

Apparel: Accessories:

Carries an ornate silver dagger with a red gem placed centerpiece on its hilt. Taken from the body of Kohv's Thayan company commander after he killed the man during his escape. While he'll use the blade in combat when necessary, he prefers to wet it only on certain individuals - namely slavers, especially if they're of the Thayan variety.

Wears a thick-laced leather necklace with three wood-carved pendants attached to its string. Each is shaped in the form of a small triangle, with the symbols of Torm etched within the center of the leftmost one; Tempus, within the center of the middle piece; and Tyr, within the center of the rightmost medallion. This is one of his earliest attempts at wood carving, which he periodically replaces over time as his skills improve with significant enough jumps.

Keeps a small, poorly made wooden figurine of a dragon inside his bag. A gift he made a long time ago for an old friend. It's light in color - mostly tan with deep splotches of darkened red bled into its form, seemingly at random. It's one of his most valued possessions so he maintains it on his person at all times and rarely lets anyone else touch, let alone hold it.

Education

Kohvneir's master placed a high value on education, going so far as to believe that slaves should receive some basic form of education alongside their upbringing. As Kohv was to be sculpted into one of his master's personal servants, he received a somewhat higher degree of education than most in the man's care.

He was taught how to read, write and speak both Common and Thayian so he would be of as much use as possible to his master. His Thayian is fluent across the board. His ability to understand, read and write in common is high, though his ability to speak it still requires work.

His master also held a not-so-hidden obsession with near everything relating to dragons and dragonkind; which presented Kohv with the unique opportunity to learn a decent amount of knowledge regarding them both.

Employment

Lords' Guildsmen

Registered Adventurer of Waterdeep

Guild of Fine Carvers

Accomplishments & Achievements

Killed his Thayan Infantry Commander (who also doubled as his slave master at the time) in single combat, severing one of his most prominent ties (and holds) to Thay in the process.

Accepted into the Guild of Fine Carvers.

Purchased his own residence (Technically rented, but still).

Elevated to the rank of sergeant within the Lords' Guildsmen.

Mental Trauma

Spent the majority of his life in slavery, with the last segment of said enslavement revolving around combat and military-centric duties which hardly helped matters develop into any sort of positive mindset.

Forced into slave-hunting duties upon a later branch transfer. He's done and seen many things he'll most likely never be able to fully move past.

Morality & Philosophy

The personal freedoms of the individual are exceptionally important.

Tends to be inclined to help those in need (more if he feels they deserve it to some measure).

He has a strong need to do some good in the world to make up for certain past deeds in his life.

Abhors slavers to the extent that he doesn't view them as actual people, but rather just objects or tools that serve some greater form of evil in the world. He has an almost obsessive need to kill (or at minimum, harm) any he happens to come across if the situation allows it.

Taboos

Slavery. Any and all support of slavery.

Willingly serving Thay and/or the Red Wizards.

City-State of Waterdeep

Kingdom of Tymanther (Minor)

Duchy of Daggerford (Minor)

Organizations:

The Lords' Alliance

The "Main Party"

Waterdhavian Guild of Fine Carvers

People:

Iomar Lorfras - Kohv's "brother." They are not related by blood but were rather taken together from the same village. They simply consider and call each other brothers.

Halmor (Deceased) - A fellow slave gnoll who Kohv grew extremely close to while he was part of the Thayan gladiatorial games. They worked as a servant of the house he served under. They were executed by pyre for giving aid to another servant attempting to escape, with all hands of the house forced to watch.

Belias Hawthorne - A career soldier (Rank: Civilar) in Waterdeep's City Guard and member of the Lords' Guildsmen (Rank: Lieutenant). Belias became one of Kohv and Io's first points of "official" contact within the city, taking on a sizable number of missions for the man and quickly earning his trust and respect. They would be the one to offer sponsorship in the Lords' Guildsmen to Kohvneir.

"The Prince" - Leader of an underground railroad in Thay which helped Kohv and his brother escape the country.

|Enemies | Nations:

Magocracy of Thay

Untheran Empire (Minor)

Organizations:

Markos Dasan's Slave Ring

Red Wizards of Thay

Zhentarim

People:

Markos Dasan - The Thay noble who owned him during his time as a gladiator. He ordered the execution of Kohvneir's closest friend, Halmor. Building internal issues in Thay forced their retreat far from the country where they've since built up their own criminal business primarily based around the slave trade. While Kohv hunts slavers in general, this is his primary target who he would do next to anything to get his hands on.

Janak Amagol (Deceased): Kohv's initial Thayan master who had purchased him and his brother upon their arrival to Thay. Assassinated in a political plot Kohv has no real idea of. He has a very complicated history with the man, simultaneously hating them for what they were while also considering them as a father or father figure.

Family Ties

Is certain of his parent's death, as well as the death of his blood siblings.

Unsure what fate befell the rest of his family or if he happened to have any outside of his village.

Religious Views

Primarily worships Tempus, Torm, and Tyr.

Reveres Ilmater and Bahamut.

Mannerisms

Displays a good deal of enunciation and subtle movements while he speaks, by way of small head shifts and little movements with his hands.

Hobbies & Pets

Hobbies:

Wood carving. He's still an amateur, so he tends to keep his work simple. His favorite pieces to create are small animal figurines.

Walking (and general exercise). He loves going on walks, especially throughout new places or places he hasn't explored much.

Reading and writing. He enjoys jotting down notes and memories of his travels.

Cooking. Very, very much an amateur. He can manage basic cuisine, but anything marginally complex tends to lead to... less than stellar results.

Pets:

He once had a pet rat, but the innkeeper (of his residence) was none too happy about it and demanded its removal. He begrudgingly let it go outside after a wringing from his brother.

Speech

Speaks in a somewhat slow manner to mask his accent.
