Signature Assets
Sword of the Sundered Seas Forged in the heartfires under Bar Kesh by a Dwarven master of Moradin's temple, this simple cutlass doesn't look like much, but it is perfectly balanced and can never be lost. If dropped it will return to its wielder's hand by wave or by wind.
Tiny Treasures and Needful Things You always have some small bit of something on you from some far off land, from baubles to useful necessities: Elf hair, the barrelhook of a Fisher House trader, a button from the Dwarf King's jacket, coconut husk spoons, a vial of some mad woman's tears.
Backstory
Bean worked for the Metropolitan Museum, specializing in online auctions and artifact authentication. After handling an ancient Egyptian puzzle box of DaVincian complexity, Bean was afflicted with a curse and gained the ability to transform into a swarm of metallic-shelled scarab beetles and with the ability to teleport. He also gained the ability read minds and a psychic affinity for communicating with and manipulating electronic and mechanical devices.
Bean truly views his condition as a curse, but is determined to put his affliction to good use, not trusting what he might become without that purposeful approach.
