Darrod Lightvane

Hook of Clover
NPC

Darrod Lightvane is an intimidating elven member of the Claw of Arali, holding the rank of Hook and operating out of Cloverhall in Reedenford. He is a powerful practitioner of magic that prefers to operate on his own, investigating sensitive conspiracies around Atherdale. Darrod is blunt, uncharismatic, and consistently unamused by his surroundings, his face in a never-changing expression of grave emotion.

Description

Darrod is an extremely tall, intimidating male elf standing around 8 feet. He has medium cut dark brown hair folded messily behind his long, pointed ears. Darrod has two piercing blue eyes, and his sharp face wears a simultaneously grave and tired expression, with dark bags under his eyes that seem almost unnatural. He wears tight, simple dark clothes held to his body by leather bands, each of which carries small pockets, bags, tools, and daggers. Darrod's thick, navy cloak tends to obscure these implements from view, however. He carries a tall, intricate metal staff with an angular design.

Darrod has a tired and nonplussed demeanor, usually regarding others as unwelcome difficulties in his life. His movements are heavy and sluggish, but imply that he possesses great physical strength. He is also highly suspicious of others, and will utilize his abilities to scare people into providing him with the information he wants. Very little appears to surprise Darrod.

Skills and Abilities

Darrod is both physically fit and seems to possess some sort of magical acumen. He is capable of jumping four stories in a single leap, perhaps aided by magic; additionally, he seems to have a powerful awareness of his surrounding, and was able to melt the metal of a dagger into spelling out a threatening message.

History

Darrod either transferred to Cloverhall or achieved certification as a Hook in Cloverhall at some point in the past.

As of 989 IaC, Darrod was investigating the possibility of parties trafficking elven slaves throughout the region of Atherdale. He became suspicious of his fellow guild member Lambchop after he caught the half orc's owl accidentally spying on his room, threatening him with his magic.
