Still other maintain that they have irrefutable proof that he is a dragon from far-off Argonessen, wandering the city in humanoid form for inscrutable purposes of his own.  Exactly where these rumors start is hard to pinpoint, but Avram vociferously denies them all and threatens to prosecute those who perpetuate them for slander to the fullest extent the Code of Galifar will allow.  This, of course, merely has the effect of firmly entrenching even the most outlandish of tales in the public imagination, which is exactly how Avram wishes it to be. Whatever the case may be, all that is truly known of Avram is that he appeared on the Sharn theatre scene a mere four years ago (arriving just after the Day of Mourning, some note darkly).  Exploded onto the scene would be a more accurate way of putting it; in the short time he has been in the City of Towers, Avram has become famous (or infamous, as many would have it) for his controversial roles.  His portrayal of a defrocked priest in Stroking the Bishop caused a riot that nearly lead to his exile.  On the other hand, his depiction of the legendary Boromar clan founder in The Smallest Giant earned him a case of the finest Bluevine Reserve from Saiden Boromar himself.  Revered and reviled, all agree that a talent such as his has not graced the stage in many years.  Many of Avram's plays are his own work.  He enjoys satirizing the upper classes in the plays he writes, but (usually) manages to do so in away that his targets can laugh at themselves.Avram has come to enjoy a reputation as the enfant terrible of Sharn high society.  His presence is highly sought at the Upper Wards and Skyway fetes of those socialites who want to bask in the reflected glow of his daring and wit.  Rumor has it that his theatrical endeavors are supported by his many lovers of both sexes.  While this is to some extent true, Avram has another means of supplementing his income: murder for hire.  Avram uses his place in society both to find clients and to reach his targets.  He is highly selective in which jobs he accepts and charges exorbitant rates, but is known in certain rarified circles as a man who always gets his mark.  Avram meticulously plans out each assassination and takes great care to prevent any association between his public persona and his secret profession.  PersonalityOutwardly, Avram Soloman is the very model of suave and sophisticated charm.  At ease in any social situation, he wields his wit like a sword, striking with a surgeon’s precision.  By turns sympathetic or seductive, Avram molds himself effortlessly to his audience’s expectations.Behind the masks, Avram is an artist above all else.  He takes his work both on and off the stage very, very seriously.  Acting and assassination feed one another.  His acting talents provide him with a deadly array of tools to get close to his target.  Grappling with life and death fills him with a dark passion that drives his performances.  Each provides an outlet for his need to impose his will upon the world, to throw his intellect into sharp relief, and to express his soul. Most would be surprised to learn that Avram is quite religious.  He is devoted to both Olladra and the Fury.  There is no contradiction in this; Olladra gives him glibness and wit, while the Fury’s fervor fuels all of his work.  However, Avram knows full well how the worship of any member of the Dark Six is viewed and keeps his faith to himself.Although he is a murderer, Avram is never deliberately cruel.  He takes no sadistic pleasure in pain; rather, he enjoys testing his limits in a game for the ultimate stakes.  He is not, however, above using whatever psychological manipulation is necessary to achieve his aims.One quirk that Avram has is a dislike of changelings.  He sees their shape changing ability as an affront to his hard earned skills.  This sense of rivalry brings out his competitive edge even more when working with or pitted against a changeling and he takes particular relish in humiliating such an opponent.  There is probably more professional jealousy to this attitude than he would care to admit. AppearanceSomewhat tall for a Khoravar, Avram has the olive skin and aquiline features common to humans and half-elves of southern Khorvaire.  His curly black hair is always immaculately coiffed and his ever-changing, ever-fashionable attire is the stuff of legend.  Many victims have been ensnared by his piercing green eyes.[/sblock]</blockquote>
