Background: 
Ethrin is not native to Talingarde, having immigrated there as a teenager after an incident caused him to leave. This incident was considered an accident by the investigators. The truth of the matter is far more complex. There was a young human woman there named Orisha. At 17 years of age, she was a year older than Ethrin. They were both apprentices at the same Alchemist. Orisha was a much better student than he was which made him intensely envious. One day he decided to sabotage one of her mixtures by switching the labels on an ingredient. When heated, this caused a small explosion resulting in damage to the shop. There was an investigation which revealed the switched labels and the fact that Ethrin had done it. The master and the investigators both declared it to be an accident since it was absurd that anyone would intentionally switch the labels. Feeling he had no future there, he left. He traveled to many lands and earned a few coins here and there by assisting in a few schemes and participating in an adventure or two, never staying in one place for long. Eventually he found his way to Talingarde. 

By now he had reached the age of 23. It wasn’t long before a fair maiden named Talia caught his attention. She was a raven haired beauty and the daughter of an important merchant. He sent her letters, poems, and other tokens of his affection. She thought it was sweet but was being courted by a young Baron who had recently inherited the title from his deceased father. The Baron was a strapping young man, rich, powerful, and talented with a sword. Ethrin knew to win over Talia he needed to get the Baron out of the way forever. His first effort failed. He had paid a stablehand to cut through the straps on the saddle of the Baron’s horse. Unfortunately the Baron survived. His next attempt was even bolder. Ethrin befriended a maid at the Baron’s house. One day he gave her a small vial of ‘special seasoning’ to add to the Baron’s food. The special seasoning worked wonders. Too bad the Baron had invited the local head of the church of Pelor over for dinner. The cleric was able to prevent the death of the Baron. All the household servants were questioned using various methods including spells. The maid broke under questioning and provided Ethrin’s name. He was quickly arrested and thrown in prison awaiting execution for attempted murder.
