Kâras

Kâras was a divine seeker and a a former drow priest of Vhaeraun in Maerimydra in 1376 DR.

Description
Thin yet muscular, Karas' left side of his face was badly scarred.

Personality
Karas was a thoroughly evil individual while he venerated Vhaeraun and viewed others he worked alongside merely handy pawns. He presented an amiable face when dealing most people, all the while furthering his own plans.

Abilities
As a member of both the secretive Vhaeraunian cult and the Hidden in Maerimydra, Karas had cultivated a great deal of skill at remaining undetected, managing to dodge both Kurgoth Hellspawn's patrols and House T'sarran's undead scouts.

His abilities as a divine seeker of Vhaeraun granted him the ability both locate objects and to thwart glyphs and wards. This combination made him expertly capable of infiltrating even magically warded areas.

Possessions
Karas typically wore a shirt of elven chain and a magical short sword. Whilst working among the Hidden in Maerimydra he wore a ring of silent spells that could mute a certain number of sells cast each day.

History
Prior to the Silence of Lolth in 1372 DR, Karas was a member of a small Vhaeraunian cult in the city of Maerimydra. However after Kurgoth Hellspawn's invasion and occupation of the city in Eleint 23 and the subsequent rise of Irae T'sarran's Kiaransaleean cult in Eleint 28 Karas joined a group of survivors called the Hidden dedicated to restoring Maerimydra and driving out the invaders.

Kâras later was one of the Vhaeraunian priests that after 1375 DR joined the Church of Eilistraee.

In 1376 DR Kâras was tasked with the mission to kill Valdar Jaelre, another former priest of Vhaeraun who'd taken refuge in Guallidurth. Kâras found and trapped Valdar but he convinced Kâras that in truth it was Vhaeraun who had killed Eilistraee and had planted a complex deception plot. At last, Kâras decided to spare Valdar for the moment.

In 1377 DR, Kâras was training with the Darksong Knight Cavatina Xarann when they were attacked by a crone of Kiaransalee. Thanks to him, they managed to defeat the revenant monster and Kâras explained about his experience in Maerimydra.

Later he was choose to led the nightshadows force to scout the main temple of Kiaransalee alongside Cavatina.
