Character:Silk

Silk a.k.a. Gavane a.k.a. The White Reaper
Night Caste (former) assassin

A man of wiry build with the tanned skin and dark eyes of the south. Short black hair and a finely trimmed beard frame the agelessly youthful face of an Exalt; only the hardness and hidden pain in his eyes betray his true age. In his clothes he prefers silk and fine leathers in tones of gray, cut so as to allow the maximum range of movement and conceal a multitude of weapons. Thin leather gloves, moccasins and a cloak of rough, gray cloth complete his appearance. His demeanor is mild, that of a man who doesn't feel the need to prove his toughness to the world. When he drops the pretense of normalcy his movements are extraordinarily graceful and almost completely silent.

Backgrounds

Resources 3

The merchants' payment was a nice bonus but of course that wasn't the reason why Silk participated in the operation against the Barrow King. Even before the recent influx of silver his Guild accounts - of the 'no questions asked' variety - weren't too bad off. His money stems in part from the coffers of the NAME and the many hide-away caches prepared for its agents. Upon leaving all of that behind Silk took a good sum of unmarked silver and jewels with him, considering it payment for his long service and arguing that with NAME's destruction his would likely be the best hands the money could fall into. The other part comes from private deals and contracts he's made since his flight, sometimes a pittance, sometimes enough to get by for weeks without touching his fallback options. Working as a blade for hire, a mercenary, is something Silk despises but it has been necessary a few times. Now thankfully it will be some time before anything like that will be required again.

Contacts 3

His old networks of informants don't reach into the East, but Silk has been well trained and despite his otherwise poor social graces he has a knack for finding the right people for the right job. Whether it is someone familiar with the games of the high and mighty or just someone who knows the street and will talk in exchange for a free drink, whether it is an honest moneylender, a corrupt guard, a learned scholar or just a few guys who will bash in anyone's head for a few pieces of silver - Silk knows them or at least where to look for them.
