Relationships

History
Pristoleph was born in Innarlith sometime in the early 14th century DR. His mother was a human woman that worked as a prostitute who was raped by a fire elemental who was disguised as a human client soliciting for her services.

He left home at a young age to live on the streets of Innarlith in the 4th quarter of the city. He got into trouble with a gang of boys that burglarized houses who were led by a boy named Mandalax. Mandalax wanted Pristoleph to join his gang, but Pristoleph refused and Mandalax then went after him because of his refusal. After a violent confrontation between Pristoleph and Madalax's gang in 1330 DR, Pristoleph succeeded in winning over the gang and he became their leader.

Eventually he came to work for the city guard of Innarlith, before leaving the city for a long time period and returning again.

In the 1360s DR, he became an ally with the red wizard Marek Rymüt, who was stirring up trouble among the poor in the city's fourth quarter. Pristoleph succeeded in becoming a senator in Innarlith.

Eventually he took over the city government and became Ransar of Innarlith.
