Stage: Dalharuk
Age: 100
Mate: Hopefully Izzayne
Residence: Guallidurth for about 9 months out of the year, and Undek'thoz for the other three months.
Personality: Cocky, very much the prankster, a goofball by nature and quite full of himself. He also has fun messing around with people and making light of things. He tends to be of the curious nature and sometimes this will get him into tight spots. His natural sense of charm, good looks, and acting abilities usually are enough to get him out of these situations. He will often leave unusual items behind in place of the items he’s stolen from each House, sort of like a signature, but it always changes. It’s his prankster side. Also if he’s in a terrible mood the item will be of the macabre nature.
Abilities: picking locks in seconds, being very elusive
Loyalties: Phraktos is loyal to only a few people. His elder sister being the first; she saved him from becoming the plaything of a very powerful necromancer. Nothing will ever cause him to betray her; he knows fully what she is capable of doing. Secondly he is loyal to himself and his own needs. Any other loyalties will be given little to no thought in Phraktos’ mind. He worships the spider queen only to please his sister and to stay in favor with Lloth, but doesn’t do it with much passion or fervor
Likes: Shiny expensive items, filching, the excitement and adrenaline he gets from being chased.
Dislikes: Being told what to do, restrictions, people manipulating him for their own personal games.
Fears: That he'll live to be old and decrepid.

When the Matron discovered he was the cause, she threw him out of the House to work in the Underdark on his own. It was more than likely that she had hoped he wouldn’t survive. Phraktos surprised everyone in the House when he not only survived but managed to bring in an income that supported him very well. After several years on his own, the Matron having decided she had made a mistake in allowing him to leave, summoned him back. Phraktos returned but did so grudgingly, only returning to see his sister again.
It didn’t take long for the Matron to grow tired of his attitude and his antics and send him back out. Only this time it was with her blessing, as well as a monthly allowance as well as jobs for him to do for her. Phraktos finds it rather odd and most times aggravating to have to answer to the Matron’s whims.
Phraktos and Iztheri stayed on good terms with each other and correspond quite often. Phraktos looks forward to when his sister will take over from the current House Matron and has even hinted at helping her attain the status at a more accelerated pace. Iztheri has declined every proposal; she’s waiting for the proper moment and time to catch the Matron off guard.

   (Couple Song for Phraktos & Izzayne)
"Make You Feel My Love"-Adele-
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love

I have been contacted concerning a potential job.
It's most delicious. In fact, it didn't really bother me much that the individual couldn't pay me much for my services.
The name...was familiar..and once I read what the missive said I flashed back on the day that a particular cleric of Lloth was punished for breaking contact with the Goddess during a scrying.
Imordana Fi'reth'ul was the female. She had been quite the looker...and from what I figured still was..despite her having no eyes.
It was common knowledge to most thieves of Undrek'thoz...after the public punishment...that despite the fact she possessed no eyes she could still in fact see. Several thieves had meet unsavory ends because they had judged her wrongly. I myself had never had the chance of actually meeting her face to face.
As the missive suggested though, it asked for me to meet with her within the next few days if I was interested in the job. So since I was, I penned a reply, sealed it with wax and handed it over to the courier and paid him to take it back to the lady.
It wasn't just the female that drew my interest..but the job and why she needed it done. She was in need of a magical item...one that could allow her to destroy a bond spell that her insane Matron had placed on her in a fit of unbridled rage. Having experienced several misguided spells...from my own birth mother I wanted to help her out. I could tell..even though the missive hadn't said so that the Lady was going to attempt to overthrow her Matron and that she would need as much help as she could get.
I have..as you may know...long wished that the Matron of my House would meet a very horrible end. I would have gone ahead with what plans I had for killing her off, if my sister, Iztheri hadn't asked me to await her plans. Though I hate waiting, and not being able to dish out my version of revenge and death I was happy to do as she asked. She had after all, done me the greatest favor one could do for another. She had saved my life from a magical attack on my person by the House's last mage.
So...seeing as I was so keen on destroying someone..I was rather up for helping someone else destroy someone if I couldn't get rid of my own Matron. Hey...when one gets bored they tend to crave excitement and danger. If you don't know me by now..that's me in a nutshell.

Upon my arrival into my Home city of Undrek'thoz I was met at my hotel room with another missive. This one..wasn't from my potential employer...but from the Matron of my House. Having a rather strained relationship with her and not having been in contact with her for awhile I knew that I would be require to show up. That was one thing that I preferred not to do; though I would end up having to do so.
I unpacked my belongings, gathered up a few items I had brought to bring my sister and the Matron I read the missive. It said pretty much what I had figured...Matron D'ferusad requires your presence at House iv'Ress immediately upon your arrival into the city...blah blah...formal dress is required. I wasn't really in the mood to dress up but did so, knowing that trouble would follow if I didn't and then I set off to the House.
I arrived within a short amount of time, despite my trying to take my time in getting there. I announced myself to the guard at the great walls..and was let in. It appeared that many repairs had been made since my last "visit". The House was sparkling, and larger than I remembered. They must have added on to it; it looked like a monstrosity constructed out of stone and gold. What a waste of gold.

Dearest Sprite,
here's a poem I've composed for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you.
Diamonds and rubies
and all that a thief finds rare
Gold, silver, and platinum to spare
Only one beauty has no compare.
Black as agate
Eyes like twin rubies so brightly shine
A body so delicately comprised and so damn fine
Lips so red and soft as they compress mine.
It's Izzayne, my one true love
A better fit, a matter mate I will never find
So composed, refined, and fierce of mind
She's absolutely, positively; one of a kind.
Much love, and always yours
Phraktos

Ah..today has been quite a great day.
I finished a particularly dangerous job without any mishaps, save for running into a very beautiful and fiesty female. One I hope to see again someday.
Her name is Izzayne and she's amazing. The chemistry was so heavy between us I have no doubt that she is and will be my life mate one day. As long as there is no problems with Iztheri about that.
Then again..even if Iztheri did have a problem with her, I would have to find a way to make a clean break with my sister.
Enough thinking on that I'm more so writing in here to tell you about what happened after the successful job with Izzayne.
I was walking home, without a care or worry in the world minding my own business when someone hurtled into me. Usually when someone hurtles into me I don't fall over, as I am so huge and well put together. However in this case the fellow was almost as large as I was, so the both of use fell to the ground from the opposing crash. I was quick to my feet and noticed that the other was a bit worse for the wear.
Since I am the curious and of the gambling sort I started talking to him. It didn't take long to find out what had happened to him and that he was trying to get out of town to avoid his brother. It didn't take me long to come to the conclusion that the fellow didn't have much contacts and would be looking for some line of work in whatever city he went to, so I couldn't help but offer to help him out. It took a bit of convincing him that I meant him no harm or had any sort of ulterior motive in it..though the goddess knows what sort of trouble he might find himself in with hanging out with me.
Once it was established that he would travel with me the following morning to Gaullidurth I convinced him to come home so my sister the healer could see to his wounds. That didn't really take too much convincing..he was practically drooling at the thought of getting proper care. Poor fellow he must be ignored at his own home..what with how many siblings and cousins he has.
It wasn't until we had reached the House of iv'Ress that I remembered that I had another job that night. I didn't let on to the fellow..not sure how he would take being left alone in my House for the night without me there to vouch for him. I figured that I would let him meet Iztheri and have her relax him with her healing skills. Then once he was settled in for the night I would go meet the priestess Imordana and help her with the job.
And then..it hit me. I was going to be leaving in the morning and Izzayne wouldn't even know. I wouldn't have any time after the job to drop by and see her so I figured a letter would be the best thing to do. That I shall see to once I get to seeing Sol into bed. Until later,
Phraktos iv'Ress, greatest thief in all of Gaullidurth and Undrek'thoz!

Gods..My Matron is getting on my nerves.
It seems like she prefers to perform these little speeches every time I come back to the House. I suppose it didn't help matter's much that I brought home a beat up drow with me.
Thankfully Iztheri stood up for me and Sol. The Matron was going to throw him out..but Iztheri stopped her, informing the witch that he was part of the de'Virr House. That shut her up for a few minutes. Then she did the whole schmeal deal about why I shouldn't just bring home down and out drow. I pretty much just zoned out at that point, trying to compose the letter to Izzayne in my head.
Of course this didn't go over well when she finally stopped speaking. Its as if she assumed I had been paying full attention to her, even though everyone knows I have a very short attention span when it comes to her. I came out of it pretty fast though and then realized what she was expecting and handed over one of the items I had been asked to steal for her.
Once that was over and she dismissed me I flew out of the room as fast as I could. Stopped in Iztheri's study, since it was closer than going to my own quarters and quickly penned the letter. I closed the letter and sealed it with the House insignia and headed off to find a soldier to deliver it for me. For some reason the common servants won't even try going out of the House..for fear of their lives or something along those lines. Wimps. The soldiers however aren't afraid, and for a moderate sum will deliver letters and important papers to people in the town. Once I had handed off the letter, paid the soldier, and instructed him where to find Izzayne's apartment I headed off to grab a few more supplies for the job that I was already late to. Damned Matron. I can't wait until she's in the abyss for all eternity.
And that's all for now.
Phraktos

Dear Izz,
First off I want to apologize that I wasn't able to tell you this in person last night. I hope you can forgive a silly misbegotten oaf for such an oversight.
Secondly, last night after our lovely evening together I didn't want to leave a sour taste in your mouth for disappearing so abruptly without some sort of explanation. The trip to Guallidurth wasn't planned to go forward this quickly but a situation came up to move the trip up.
It was mainly to help out an acquaintance of mine from getting torn into little pieces by an older sibling. Apparently he took a prank a little too far and now he fears for his life. Poor fellow. You can see why I would try and help him out.
I will tell you, he was quite a sight to see last night, bloody, cut up and bruised quite badly. It was a miracle he was even able to find me before his brother picked him off.
Well enough about the fellow, I gather you don't really care to hear about him, as he's the reason I'm leaving sooner than planned.
I propose taht as soon as I am able to get back taht you will allow me to indulge your every whim. Anything your heart desires. Nothing is too expensive or too extravagant for the love of my heart. Absolutely anything that you wish to do is perfectly fine with me. Perhaps we could do a little "crowd" shopping as well. In the uptown crowd, as they are the more wealthy folk and tend to wear all the expensive jewelry. I think such an excursion would be something you would enjoy immensely.
I hope you don't miss me too much dear sprite. I'll try and keep in touch with you while I'm away. I hope you aren't too disappointed or too angry with me over this.
Much love, your oaf,
Phraktos
