Kael and The Cabal
Kael'Thas Nicodemus Urdansa Cannith
Lawful Neutral Half Vampire/ Half-Elf
Wizard 4/ Warlock 4/ Eldritch theurge 3/ Magehound 2
Appearance
Kael is often, and quite rightly so, considered strange in appearance. his hair and skin are white, and his eyes are pale blue. his body is slim and lightly build with a well toned and sculpted muscles. he moves with an almost predatory and unearthly air, which unsettles people as much as his appearance does. Kael possesses an Exotic beauty, though most people are put off by the unnatural aura about him. Kael possesses no scars, but does have a runic tattoo beneath his right eye, and similar ones along the outside of his right arm and both legs as well as along his spine.
Personality
Kael is quiet, reserved and polite. he always remains calm and controlled no matter what the situation, and his patience is almost inexhaustible. Kael never lets anyone get too close to him, and if they invade his personal space he draws back. Kael also draws away from other peoples touch, and finds it extremely uncomfortable. Kael keeps to himself and his studies a lot, but takes to the outside world to earn money and to do his duty as a Magehound. He takes intrusions on his quarters seriously. Kael is unperturbed by Violence and gore, he fears nothing and is utterly merciless.
Background
Kael never talks about himself, and if someone does ask he merely replies. "I don't want to talk about it". what ever has happened to him, like his age is a mystery. all files on him were destroyed before the wars end. this doesn't stop rumours circulating about him of course and there are a few facts known about him, the first is that he was in Cyre during the Day of Mourning. and that he disappeared for almost two years before stumbling out of the Mournland half-dead and babbling incoherently. Since then Kael has worked for various patrons and has continued his duties as a Magehound, collecting bounties and then mercilessly fulfilling them. Rumours whisper of his parentage, though Kael never discusses it, is not exactly mortal. some state that he is part demon. others that his Father was a creature from the Spirit world.
Whether any of the rumors about him are true or not, Kael still is unsettling for most people. either because of his reputation, his job or because of his supposed ancestry.
Kael was raised as a foundling by House Cannith, who found him as a ten year old boy, frozen on the steps of Whitehearth. Kael can't remember anything from before then and the only thing found with him apart from his clothes was his sword, Kerokash and a Ring.
It has been recently discovered Kael's age is somewhere around 150. Kael was thrown out of the Arcane Congress at 16, for using dark magic to try and resurrect his dead girlfriend. needless to say the attempt failed, mostly, and almost killed Kael. he then traveled for around two years, evading magehounds and bounty hunters, until Marcellus Pye, renowned Magehound picked Kael up and offered him a home and an apprentice ship.
Kael flourished under Marcellus's teachings until he was around 30, at that point Marcellus was horribly wounded in the battle against Strahd the first vampire and barely able to do active duty. Marcellus soon died in a battle against the forces of the lords of dust. Kael then traveled and has joined many things since, He served as an Armourer for House Cannith, Body Guard for Queen Mishan, A Soldier, A member of The Cabal (an elite magical soldiery) and finally a magehound under arch-mage Travern.

Other known members of the cabal, and Kael's friends, include
Raelandra Tallarin
Lawful Neutral Female Half-Elf/ Half-Nymph
Sorcerer 8/ Fighter 2/ Eldritch Knight 3
Appearance: "On the left side of him was a female half-elf, with mid length black hair, emerald green eyes and features that mixed Fey and elven. She was dressed in upper middle class clothes, with Darkwood armour consisting of a Breastplate, shoulder , thigh and shin guards and bracers. A long wooden staff was strapped to her back, and besides that an elegantly curved longsword, no doubt with a silver blade. "
Raelandra usually dresses in mens clothing, and disdains skirts or dresses.
Personality: Raelandra is almost the opposite of the Introverted and emotionally distant Kael, Raelandra is outgoing, Charming and excitable. she enjoys conversation and interaction with others and is much more personable.
She's just as old as Kael, as like him she is nearing half-way through her second century. Of course, Unlike with Kael, one couldn't tell that she is really as old as she is.
Raelandra is one of Kael's closest friends. if not his closest living one. having known Kael for over thirty years she quite experienced at being able to understand whats going on beneath the emotional mask. Her presence also means that Kael usually displays a lot more of his emotions, and is often caught with a slight smile on his face while with her.
Background: Raelandra was raised in Cyre before the war, and grew up in an isolated farmstead with her many brothers. she showed a Talent for spell casting at an early age, and when her sorcerrous abilities manifested, her Father sent her off to be apprenticed. After a long apprenticship Raelandra then Joined the Magehounds, because her master said that her skills and abilities would be most useful in this area.
Rae and Kael met when they both applied for a Organisation known as The Cabal, their friendship struck up when they were put into a sqaud to fight their way through the various harrowing trails said organisation holds. Rae has since been Kael's right hand woman during the war, since they were both part of the same regiment and the two have maintained contact since the end of the war.
Xavier
LN male Half-Fiend Half-elf (fire based powers)
10th level Duskblade
Xavier is almost a typical half elf, with coal black hair, an athletic build, ash grey eyes and a constant scowl
Moody, brooding and generally bad tempered. Xavier was raised by his mother, who was terrified of him. in fact, the first chance she got she sent Xavier into the army, where he thrived in the bloody front lines, manifesting his sorcerous abilities as the powers of a Duskblade.
Xavier's never met his Father, but has expressed an dire wish to do so, just to put a sword through his head.
Domdaniel
LN Male Aasimar
Beguiler 10
Brown hair, golden eyes.
Charming, laid back and generally fun to be around during his civilian time. Domdaniel becomes serious and cold on the battle field, Domdaniel and Mar are a couple, who have said they would get married. If "All the other stuff wouldn't get in their way", which most of the others believe is just an excuse to cover the fact that both of them are afraid of settling down.
Mar
LN Female Changeling
Spell Thief 12
Appearance: Mar never uses her own appearance, she's almost always subconsciously shapeshifting into someone else. usually the person she's talking to. which at times tends to creep people out. The only person to see Mar in her Trueform is Domdaniel so no one else is really sure what Mar looks like. aside from the changeling basics.
Personality: Mar is one of those people who is constantly happy, a side effect of her Aberrant Mark, which gives Mar the ability to manipulate emotions. Mar is easily excitable and very clumsy. bad luck seems to just surround her at times.
In battle, Mar is the complete opposite of her normal cheery and laid back self.
History: Mar is the youngest member of the remaining Cabal operatives. She was raised with her family in Metrol, who were members of one of Cyre's black ops units. Mar was trained by various mentors and teachers in various combat arts, and as such is quite a skilled combatant with various light weapons.
Mar's real skill is fighting spell casters, so naturally she was sent to join the Cabal when she came of age. She was then placed in Kael and Rae's unit and has been considered a part of their group ever since. Kael and Rae see Mar as their little sister, and as such are extremely protective. Xavier sees Mar as an annoyance. and spends most of his time ignoring her.
Mallory Tallarin
CN Female Half-Elf / Half-Pixie
Spirit Shaman 5/Witch 5/ Arcane Hierophant 2
Appearance: Mallory appears to be a woman in her mid-twenties, with flowing blond hair, glittering blue eyes, a mischievious grin and a substantial amount of bosom. Mallory wears simple peasants garments with ribbons in her hair and a few rune bones dangling from her belt.
Her familiar Bert, a big ginger cat with only one working eye, wears a red ribbon around his neck.
Personality: Mallory would be described as energetic and wild by a kind viewer and uncontrollable and crazed by an unkind one. Xavier would describe her as a crazy b*tch. Mallory has a motherly personality, and tends to mother each one of the cabal. referring to them all with pet names Mr. Scowlsalot for Xavier ( her favorite), Angel for Domdaniel, Marry for Mar, Little Rae for Rae (despite Rae being six foot) and Kael as Kae.
Mallory is a incorrigible gossip and meddler, but despite this she gives excellent advice and is known for her ability to cure any illness. be it malady of the body or malady of the heart. Mallory has a special place in her heart for Xavier, or as she calls him Mr. Scowlsalot, and is constantly teasing or mothering him.
