Tristan Fuller, human Taldorian wizard 1 (conjurer)

description

Tristan is a dark haired young human man, well built but not particularly handsome.

Born of a very minor noble family, he was taught the ways of Taldor from a young age: by scheming, one could climb the social ladder. Yet he proved inept at this; fortunately, he seemed to have an inclination towards magic, which could accomplish much the same goals.

He had always resented his sister Theresa. She was two years older and always seemed to do everything first, and unlike him, she was skilled at social manipulation and always made him suffer humiliations. But the worst part was that she shared his talent for magic.

Theresa was admitted to the Acadamae in Korvosa, so naturally, Tristan had to go there to study as well. He expected a private war against his sister, but there, for the first time, confronted with difficult studies and many pressures of life in the city, the two of them helped each other. He mainly helped her study, while she used her social connections to deal with those who wanted to bully him and soil the family name, and they made some mutual friends.

Just as he had finally found some satisfaction, disaster struck. Theresa suddenly disappeared. Later, she was found dead. Tristan's prime suspect was Bael Tearlani, a tiefling guard at the Acadamae who had an illicit relationship with his sister. However, as he investigated Bael it became clear that Bael was engaged in his own investigation of her disappearance, so he approached Bael and offered to help. Bael told him of his suspicions about Gaedren Lamm, who sold a ring of his sister's to a merchant.

At the same time as he had been trying to investigate Theresa's death, Tristan slipped into depression. Despite knowing better he found some solace in the drug Shiver. However, after a nasty overdose he quit, and fortunately recovered. He blames Gaedren as a drug dealer and now for his sister's death as well. (Trait: Drug Addict, +1 on Fort saves).
