Rhinnom Dannihyr

Rhinnom Dannihyr was a male human rogue who was the leader of the Shadow Thieves as well as a member of Amn's government, the Council of Six.

Appearance
Rhinnom used magic to maintain his youthful appearance despite being a mortal man of well over a century in age. As well as looking young and dashing, he was also well-muscled.

Activities
Rhinnom played a dangerous game, but one he was confident he could win at, by keeping the fact that he was a member of the Council of Six a secret from the Shadow Thieves. His goal was to move up through the ranks of the Council of Six and become its Meisarch, which would give him control over Amn's courts, but rather than deliberately engineering that promotion, he decided to bide his time and see if it would happen naturally.

Family
Rhinnom's children lived and died in his lifetime. His closest living relative in 1370 DR was his grandson, Mikaal Dannihyr, himself an aging man who believed his grandsire was long dead.

History
Rhinnom was born into the Dannihyr merchant family in Eshpurta in the. He started off his illustrious career learning wizardry at the School of Wonder in southern Amn but decided that the Art was not what he wished to focus on, instead becoming a spy and thief. He joined the Shadow Thieves in 1280 DR, rising through the guild's ranks to the position of Guildmaster of Spies in Athkatla until, in, Rhinnom took advantage of the power vacuum caused by the Time of Troubles, which killed the entire Shadow Council, to ascend to the position of Grandmaster of Shadows using murder and blackmail.

In the, Grandmaster Dannihyr engineered the Council Schism within Amn's Council of Six that resulted in the deaths of the Pommarch, the Meisarch and the Namarch. He convinced the surviving three Councillors to appoint him as Iltarch in exchange for not revealing the secrets that he'd learned about them to the public.
