Appearance: From Julian's appearance, it is clear he is not a typical half elf. Those familiar with aquatic elves might guess from his orange hair and the faint sheen on his skin from tiny scales, that he has such beings in his heritage. Julian is often gregarious and outgoing, from years of covert operations. But it is difficult for him to share personal thoughts.
Personality:
Julian sometimes wonders who he really is. His life is full of fronts. The various fronts he uses when disguised. His gung-ho military front he uses with his superiors, or ex-superiors. His compliant student front he used with his shadowdancer trainers. Everyone wants something from him. He doesn't know what he wants.
Background:
Julian barely knew his mother and father. His birth was a result of an arranged coupling, between a admiral in the Chult navy, and a paid sea elf. Chult was interested in breeding special agents to use to strengthen their navy, fight pirates and combat sahaugin.
Julian’s military training started young. He quickly learned to fight with whatever weapon was available. He learned to sneak, to climb, to swim, to feign innocence, and to kill while doing any of these.
The military
His natural amphibious abilities made him a natural for the navy. He was taught to to sneak onto pirate ships, assume a disguise, and kill key crew members. He was also taught to fight sahaugins.
The shadowdancers
Who knows what they want, the shadowdancers. They can’t be found, but they can find you. When Julian’s skills were sufficient, he was contacted by members of this order. For once, Julian met people who respected his abilities and seemed only interested in teaching him, and not using him. It is rare for the shadowdancers to find eligible recruits and Julian was an outstanding one.
At this point, Julian was powerful enough that he was no longer easy to command. He began taking unexplained absenses from his duties. Projects he was assigned would take a long time, and his military handlers became worried he’d someday just not return. This is exactly what happened. The years of endless violence, or fighting the wars of other people, had taken their toll. Julian deserted. He knew there could be consequences for this. He needed a protector. There was a water elemental leader he knew. If he could do some service for him, he could help shield Julian from the military.
