Mental characteristics
Personal history
After his family fled Koheno due to conflicts brewing between Koheno and Carthagia they made their way to Paxpike. Here is where Stroliath grew up, always living the life of a starving artist. His family were decent artists though this didn't allow them to keep food on the table or their small shack within the city for long. Driven to petty crimes to make ends meet the nobles who owned the land they inhabited caught wind and didn't want their reputations sullied. The guards were not kind in throwing Stroliath and his family onto the street and taking all their possessions, including several fingers of both of his parents. Stroliath swore revenge on the nobles, the Wital, then and there. This trajectory lead him to learning the skills he employs today.

Quicker mouthed than he is witted. Often will speak or act impulsively in whatever way seems best, even to his long term detriment.

The ends justify the means, and the ends are to have a good time living and go out a legend. Anything and everything is permissive as long as its fun in the moment and makes the town talk.

Virtues & Personality perks
He is discrete, and not afraid to pursue his quarry for months before striking.
Vices & Personality flaws
Often loud with his boasts, which is a problematic trait for an assassin. Thankfully he is also a boaster and liar, meaning few of the tales he tells are actually fact.
Hygiene
He keeps himself well washed and cared for. His skin is pristine despite a hard life on the road. Often he will keep perfumes and colognes from regions he visits.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Knows and is known by many of the leaders of the Royal Guard of Genos.
Religious Views
Once a fairly ordinary follower of Correlon, his views have since changed to something more akin to that which the cultists of the Biting Gale follow. Elves are the chosen perfect people, forced to undergo the corupting influence of all others to assuage the anger of their heavenly patron.
Social Aptitude
While incredibly egotistical and self absorbed this often works to get him inroads with minor nobles, who often act in a similar way to make up for their true lack of station.
Speech
As a fan of poetry and song he often attempts to keep a semblance of tune or rhyme in his speech, however he quickly abandons this if he is flustered by things going awry.
