Kerallian

Kerallian, apprentice to the infamous Tinman. His adventure initially started after the Tinman said goodbye to the assassin’s guild he was apart of to pursue his own interests in the world. Their fateful meeting was when Kerallian was but 5 years old, a young boy being sold off in the slave markets, however the holding facility that was keeping the young elf and many others imprisoned would have been infiltrated and the prisoners themselves set free per the Tinman’s rather unique skill sets. Starting an all out jailbreak, he took a liking to the young boy during those events as he seemed to have a keen eye and rather was a quick learner of sorts. He taking in Kerallian as his adopted son and apprentice, passing on his knowledge over the years. Early on Kerallian showed a rather keen understanding for combat forms and tactics, becoming proficient with dual wielding daggers and swords as well as utilizing darts, throwing knives, kunai and shuriken to a rather potent effect. 

This would lead the Tinman to train Kerallian that much harder to get his skills as polished as possible, however in time the Tinman’s own moral compass rubbed off on Kerallian, a form of weakness in a way to have a soft spot to those in need however it was these morals that he passed onto Kerallian which made the young elf grow to further respect his mentor. By the age of 12 the elf was deadly enough to accompany the Tinman on various odd jobs and missions, working side by side in the field. By the age of 15 Kerallian began to take interests in the Tinman’s rather unique hobby and skill set, the old assassin was a tinkerer of sorts, crafting and inventing various pieces of gear and weaponry. Most of which failed miserably and could not be utilized in combat as effectively as one would want. However the few that did were the Tinman’s own personal arsenal of tricks. A couple of which aided the old assassin in eliminating the guild he once belonged to so long ago.

However 2 years later, the Tinman had not returned from a rather annual pilgrimage of sorts, the only time the 2 were ever separated was during that annual trip. Kerallian waited for 2 additional months in there hideout before finally he would set out to search for his mentor, following the instructions given to him, He would take the lockbox of stashed currency and gear for a life on the road along with the very locket which holds the Tinman’s symbol etched inside along with the mark of Kelemvor on the exterior. He would later torch the hideout, setting it ablaze. Better to leave nothing behind in the event the Tinman’s own ghosts came back to haunt them somehow. 

To this Kerallian has searched for years to find his mentor with no luck, now 45 years of age he has resigned to the fact that his mentor might be gone entirely, dead or simply being abandoned by his mentor. He knew if the Tinman wished to disappear there would be no finding him, however a part of Kerallian hopes that mentor is still alive. If anything at all he desires answers, a compulsion to search for the truth of his mentor’s fate and whom if any were responsible.
