A warforged of Gontal make, Scout was commissioned for the Imrilsars, one of the noble families of the Twelvefold and considered rulers of Gontal. Scout was seen as little more than a pawn in their plans, a tool used to spy on — and occasionally eliminate — their allies and enemies, within and outside the Twelvefold.
After close to 70 years of loyal service to the family that owned them, Scout saw a moment of opportunity for something else. When their elderly creator and handler passed, Scout burned all records of themself in his work and fled Gontal in the night.
With a near perfect memory and knowledge of more than a few of the Imrilsars' and the Twelvefold's misdoings, Scout knows returning home and ever crossing paths with either group again is a death sentence.
In Faerun, they're free of their past and sell their unique skill set to the highest bidder, taking only the contracts they wish. It still doesn't stop the paranoia that another Imrilsarian agent might catch up with them.
But after an unsual job in a fallen city, Scout acquired a unique artifact, the Ring of Summer. Half myth and fairy tale, Scout has kept the ring hidden to be safe. After few attempts on their life in pursuit of the ring, they might be willing to believe in the power of legends. The surge in fire magics they've become capable of since donning the ring doesn't hurt there either.
Scout is a warforged of small and agile stature. Built to be a spy and assassin, they are easily overlooked in most crowds, scarcely taller than a dwarf. To maintain a low profile, they dress simply in black leathers and hooded capes. Anything to detract from their striking profile and the tale the etchings on their body tell.
- METAL. Scout was designed with a dark steel
- CORE. The inner core that fuels and powers Scout is a bright amber, most notable behind topaz eyes, but also seen in their joints
- MARKINGS. A strip of metal from crown to toe on their body and centered on their right eye is covered in a justified strip of Dwarvish script
- WRIST BLADES. Two rapiers extend at will from their wrists, typically they are retracted and hidden
- The script on their body is written in archaic Dwarvish and tells a heroic ballad, but is told in a manner of double speak that alludes to the true nature of Scout's commission
- Scout's cape allows them to Dimension Door at will with a puff of brimstone smoke
When the two met, the drow was a loyal dog to the noble house he served and Scout saw an image of themself from the past. On a job for said noble house, Scout planted the seed of anarchy in Palla'as, leading to his eventual desertion.
An eccentric elf with a mysterious past and stranger octopus familiar, Ignol is an enigma. But he's an enigma Scout can trust to get a job done, even if his methods are far from their own.
