Arathis Hune

Arathis Hune was the first main lieutenant within Jarlaxle's Bregan D'aerthe in the early 11 century DR.

History
Arathis hailed from House Hune in Menzoberranzan. However, his house was destroyed and a few Hune nobles, among them Arathis, survived. In time, most of them joined House Ozzl but Arathis had previously killed a noble of that house and was forbidden to join the new House Ozzl'Hune. At one point, Jarlaxle met and befriended Arathis, who in time became the main lieutenant of the rising Bregan D'aerthe.

In 1018 DR, Arathis and Jarlaxle were hired by matron mother Zeerith Q'Xorlarrin to deliver the weapon master of House Simfray, Zaknafein, to Matron Malice of House Do'Urden. They used an attack from House Tr'arach as cover to infiltrate the Simfray compound. Arathis had a mission to kill most of the Simfray priestesses and to recruit as many males as possible from both the Simfray and Tr'arach forces. At the end of the mission, Arathis had saved around forty members of the two Houses, including many warriors, two mages, and a priestess. Around half of them decided to join Bregan D'aerthe.

After some time, Arathis went to Ched Nasad together with Jarlaxle and the temporarily recruited Zaknafein to kill Matron Mother Sheeva Zauvirr of House Zauvirr, who had outraged Matron Mother Yvonnel Baenre.

In the years between 1018 and 1118 DR while Jarlaxle remained in Menzoberranzan dealing with matron mothers, Arathis took care of the missions outside the city, quite often assassination works in Ched Nasad, but was not too happy about it.

In 1118 DR Arathis discussed with Jarlaxle the duel between Zaknafein and Duvon Tr'arach and he decided to secretly ask the help of Quavylene Oblodra to sabotage Zak.

The matter was instead resolved with Arathis doing a long job in Ched Nasad. However just returned in city in 1119 DR Arathis and Zaknafien were both called in a isolate spot and there were attacked by a House Barrison Del'Armgo war party led by Uthegentel Del'Armgo. They partnered and managed to kill most of the Armgo warriors, but not Uthegentel, when suddenly they restarted their fighting because was Arathis himself that had conspired with the Armgo together with Dab'nay in order to kill Zak. Zaknafein however was the cleverest and expected the betrayal and finally managed to kill the assassin but spare Dab'nay.
