Description
Raigen is a friendly sort, never shy, although most may be weary of approaching him at first glance. His is rarely unarmed and carries two short swords, a cutlass, four knives, a longbow and quiver. He usually wears a dark green shirt under his black, leather vest which is lined with chainmail. His hooded cloak is dark green and goes down to his boots, covering most of his body but can easily be undone to wear as a hooded cape. He is dressed to withstand the cold and rarely complains about the weather. Once past his abrasive visage, he is quick with coin and never shys from buying a stranger a drink. But don't take his generosity lightly, he will quickly drink a much larger man under the table.
Background
Origins
Born in Aidhne, Northern New Dauntless some time between 190 and 192 AD, the rumor is that he was raised by wolves...pirates...bears. In reality, his mother died in childbirth and his father was a soldier who died in battle. Raigen had a normal childhood with his grandparents who raised him as a leatherworkers apprentice. After his grandparents died, he moved into the mountains and traded leather, herbs, and pelts with the fishing villages for coin. By the time he had reached young adulthood, he signed on with a crew of brigands and sailed to the Red Caps as a pirate. It is unclear how he amassed so much wealth in just five years, but he could surely afford to live the rest of his life without working a single day. It is said he entrusted the majority of his wealth with a drow acquaintance in the underdark for safe keeping.
The Present
Raigen is as skilled a Ranger as he is a leatherworker, and although he doesn't need the coin, he can be hired for a small fee as a guide, bodyguard, or what-have-you. Shiftier sorts may know this man as someone who will pay high dollar for the work he needs done, if one had the stomach for such a thing.
Soul Reaver
Raigen has been hiding in the Broken Dagger from a half-Ogre named Tsun who was once the captain of the pirate vessel BlackHawk Merchant. Raigen turned on his mentor by helping a drow shaman to steal the half-Ogres soul and bind it to a phylactery which Raigen traded to the Noctus for what he thought was the key to immortality. Raigen still keeps the phylactery, under the instruction that should it ever be broken, his contract with the Noctus be rendered null and void. In exchange, his soul cannot enter hell. Likewise, because of this atrocious sin, neither is he allowed in Heaven. Raigen is unsure what would happen to him should he die, but he is certain that he doesn't want to find out or test whatever curse or power he has brought upon himself. With the help of the same drow shaman, he put up a protection spell on the Broken Dagger that should prevent Tsun from attacking him there(or he hopes at least) until his business in Myrken Wood is complete.
Plots
The Sowing of Dissent
Capitalizing on the attack on Aloisius Treadwell, Raigen has been stealthily attempting to feign a rebellion in Myrken Wood to increase the number of soldiers in the region to the effect of higher taxes. His plan is to rob the gold deliveries and payroll shipments of the Crown Troops.
