Artemis Entreri

Artemis Entreri is one of the better known assassins in the Forgotten Realms. He primarily worked in the city of Calimshan but has travelled throughout the western coastline of Faerûn.

Appearance
Artemis Entreri is compact with wiry muscles. He is possessed of angular features, striking high cheekbones, and heavy facial hair growth. Though he is usually clean shaven, Artemis always seems to need a shave. His skin is a grayish hue resulting from an encounter with a shade, in which his vampiric dagger pulled the shade's lifeforce into his own. His raven black hair is thick and full, but his eyes are gray and lifeless, portraying the emptiness of his life and his soul.

History
Artemis and Drizzt Do'Urden have fought each other on several occasions. Entreri had a vendetta against Drizzt, believing him to be what he would have been had his life turned out differently. He wanted to prove that he made the right choice and sought him out. He believed Drizzt dead, even though he is not. This effectively ended the vendetta and the closest thing Entreri had to a purpose in life. While spending some time in Menzoberranzan, he worked with Jarlaxle. Artemis is still currently traveling with Jarlaxle in the Bloodstone lands. These adventures are chronicled in the books 'Promise of the Witch King and Road of the Patriarch

Jarlaxle believes that Entreri has a greater purpose in life besides his now defunct vendetta with Drizzt and as such he has been attempting to magically manipulate Entreri's emotions.
