Background History - Born as the Secondboy to a long since fallen House, Veldrin's natural affinity for stealth caused him to become the apprentice of his father, the House Assassin. His training in evasion allowed him to survive the raid that felled his House.
Having nowhere else to go and no surviving family, he joined up with a small mercenary band where he performed various missions until his talents caught the attention of Matron Zara Gaundroth, whom he served as House Assassin for a time. Eventually, he was secretly approached by Matron Kikato Hun'Afin, who made him an offer that was too good to refuse...adoption into a noble family and a position of high esteem within the House hierarchy, all for the bargain price of betraying his Matron.
Weaponry - Veldrin's personal arsenal of weaponry consists of a shortsword, forged of adamantine, that has been magically enchanted to strike harder and truer than normal within the areas of faer'zress that permeate the subterranean warrens of Undergaia. Another of the weapons that he carries is known as a Dagger of Venom, a dagger whose enchantment consists of storing a potent magically based poison that can be delivered to a target once per day with a successful strike. Veldrin also uses a hand crossbow that carries no enchantment and fires darts that are almost always envenomed.
Skills and/or powers - Aside from the innate magical abilities that all drow possess (faerie fire, dancing lights and the globe of darkness), Veldrin possesses what could be described as a "sixth sense" that warns him of dangers that he might not be consciously aware of, which used in conjunction with his reflexes that have been honed to a razor's edge by his years of training as an assassin make it extremely difficult to be caught off guard and he can react immediately to unexpected hazards. He also has a small compliment of arcane spells at his disposal.
Physical weakness - Like most other drow, Veldrin's eyes are extremely light sensitive. Abrupt exposure to light brighter than torchlight or faerie fire will blind him for a few moments, and leave him seeing spots for about a minute afterward.
