Ferrax Highborne



"Oh, so you think you are some mighty warrior, hm? Tell me. How well can you throw a dagger? Do you see that fly on the ceiling up there? Right. Now, do you see its front-most right leg? Good. Watch this."

- Ferrax

Summary
Ferrax Highborne was the son of a High Elf noble, but found greater joy in theft and crime than in a dining hall filled with servants. To account for the high he felt stealing even petty coin, he began amassing a collection of valuable objects in the interest of putting some use to his newfound talents. It was through this method that he became wanted by Greyhawk and was forced to lead several expeditions in their name.

In his adventures, Ferrax met many influential beings, and became a prime lackey of Vaerun, leading his pirate and slave trade operations as a foreman. More recently, Ferrax runs the Serth LaKresh thieves guild and is the master of a sizeable keep in his territory.

Ferrax is a active member in the guild of adventurers brought together originally under Father Braniman and considers himself an equal to Curufin of the Bow.

Appearance
Ferrax is fair looking, with long blonde hair (and is one of the few close followers of Vaerun not to have been turned into a Shade). His face reeks of self congratulation and has the expression of one that has too much ego. His body is lithe and slim.

Personality
Ferrax is, for lack of a better set of words, a pompous ass (and was created as a character to be such). He believes there is no greater gift to mankind than himself and elves like him. He will be gently rude to humans and halflings, and flat out will ignore beings such as dwarves and gnomes.

He is also a kleptomaniac, and has used that obsession to fuel his vast collection- his manor in Serth LaKresh has several halls of artifacts he has stolen without their owners knowing.

 * Dagger of Thunder: A dagger that is generally used to hurl with electrical damage, it can teleport back to Ferrax's hand.


 * Hat of True Transformation: The hat is, in its base form, a shabby fishing hat. It can be used for several spells, including Alter Self, Disguise Self, Iron Body, and Shapechange.


 * Pendant of Thoughts: Allows Ferrax to listen in to surface thoughts of those nearby.


 * Rainbow Cloak: This cloak can be shifted manually by Ferrax to fascinate all creatures nearby magically. They are unable to look away from the floating pattern left in the air (upon doing so, the cloak looks normal until the pattern returns to the cloak one hour later).

 * Ring of the Royal House of Perenland: A signet ring signifying his position as an Elven Lord. While he is not the heir to that throne, this ring was a gift, given to ensure people recognized his status. It causes those that view him to become less aggressive (if they are humanoid).
