Arrion Weatherspoon

Arrion Weatherspoon was the special effects artist of the Ravens Bluff Playhouse, and officer within the city's Bards' guild during the late 14 century DR.

Description
Arrion was tall and thin, with a pale complexion and long, blonde hair that flowed to the middle of his back. His long, narrow face and large blue eyes lent to the affectionate nickname of "Old Horseface".

History
The jovial Arrion was born to servants of a lord whose estate was located in the lands surrounding Procampur. Early in life he displayed a natural gift for comedy; those skills, combined with his unique appearance, allowed him the opportunity to become the lord's house jester. Some years later, he studied the arcane arts under the lord's private tutor, specializing in illusory trickster magic.

This tutelage continued until one day, seemingly without reason, Arrion left the manor without a word to anyone in his life and began to wander Faerûn, seeking magical knowledge. While he never openly discussed his reason, it was speculated he left the lord's estate due to a broken heart, that he had fallen in unrequited love with one of the lords'daughters.

In the 1360's DR, Arrion's travels led him to to Ravens Bluff, where he found a home in the city's theater. He used his illusion magic to enhance shows and performances put on by the local bard's guild and became an invaluable addition to their fellowship.
