Aarin Gend

Aarin Gend was Lord Nasher's spymaster and a former slave. He was actually a prisoner, serving his sentence as a dutiful employee to Neverwinter. His arrest was brought about from his association with a group of vicious pirates. Aarin Gend was reputed to be a reluctant murderer; he avenged his mother's death and killed his former master but felt ashamed of that act.

Whilst working for Lord Nasher, he was sent after a woman named Calliara to kill her, but fell in love with her instead. In the end, he told her that he was sent to kill her, and begged her to leave her life and come with him. She refused, and he was left with little choice but to kill her, although it pained him greatly to do so.

"'This is a man who measures each step with the smooth grace of a stalking panther. His eyes shift around the room with an intense awareness.' —Chapter Two, Port Llast, Neverwinter Nights"

"'Silent as a spectre, dark as the moonless night, Aarin Gend stalks the alleys of Luskan in Lord Nasher's service. It takes both wit and a keen blade to survive as Neverwinter's Spymaster in this rugged, pirate city and this soft-voiced young man has more than enough of either. His calculated air of calm and confidence hides a profound intensity, a deep-rooted will to perform whatever is necessary, whatever the cost.' —Chapter Two, Luskan, Neverwinter Nights"
