Surandil is an enigmatic being, a lone wanderer known among his kind as eccentric and dangerous. However, he is very wise in many things, particularly black magic and curses - subjects other high elves shun with a vengeance, and they are wise to do so. Wherever Surandil goes, he leaves behind whispers of his great knowledge in all things dark and undesirable. His reputation is not far-reaching, but the few who know of him mostly avoid him. Some, however, seek after his extensive wisdom.

Biography

Surandil was born during a solar eclipse in the great Elven city in Mimiriholt. The circumstances of his birth resulted in his Shadow affinity and Arcane Gift. Shunned for his strange ways and appearance, Surandil was always the black sheep in his family. Though he has never shared what caused him to leave his magical home and begin wandering, he has since started traveling south.

Description

What with his Shadow affinity, Surandil's appearance is highly unusual. His skin remains relatively pale despite exposure to sunlight; his hair is deep, midnight blue; and his eyes are silver. Lean with sinewy muscles, Surandil is strong and light on his feet, though he rarely resorts to physical confrontations.

Armor and Weapons

The black robes and black leather armor that Surandil wears further accentuate his strange appearance. He is never seen without a great, mysterious tome hanging from his belt, bound in leather and steel and magic runes. He also wears a sapphire upon a silver chain about his neck. He wields a long, black staff with a strange head, and he often carries Elven weaponry, including a sword and a shortbow with a quiver of arrows.

Surandil occasionally has his raven on his shoulder; this raven is Surandil's familiar, which is anchored to the mortal realm by his amulet. Some say the raven's eyes sometimes gleam silver and its feathers deep blue, mimicking its master's appearance, but it generally appears as an ordinary raven.

Personality

Surandil is outwardly cold, calm, and calculating. Though he rarely shows emotion, Surandil speaks his thoughts and observations regardless of anyone's feelings. He seems to view others more as interesting experiments rather than equals. Driven by a deep desire for knowledge and power, Surandil is eager to interact with new things, individuals, and creatures and see new places, as well as experiment with new potions and spells. He is precise of language, loquacious, and intensely intelligent. Even in the worst of situations, Surandil remains utterly placid and confident. Rarely, if ever, does he raise his voice.
