Dmitri Saratov

[Dmitri Saratov]

"Petching barrel of lard, making me work until midnight and not even paying me a rotten copper Miza more..." The slaving cleaning lady of the shady inn continued her grumbling monologue while she worked the corridor on the 2nd floor. Working out her frustration by scrubbing the hardwood floor as hard as she could. It was already past midnight when she audibly spat on the floor and stomped off down the stairs, more than likely comparing her boss to every foul thing in the world... However, what wasn't audible to anyone forcefully awake in their rooms, was the light snicker from the man shrouded in darkness. Holding his door open just enough to be able to peer at the back of the fury descending the stairs. Without even a hint of a sound, the door shut and the man walked weightlessly towards the trunk at the foot of the bed, opening it equally silent and revealing a few neatly folded pieces of clothing. Shuffled a bit to reveal two thin slices on either side of the case's bottom. Not that there was anyone in the man's vicinity to witness the man's actions, but even if there had been...The movements he made were so desceptively casual that the 2 short blades in his hands would've seemed to have magically appeared, regardless. Penetrating the 2 protrustions, he carefully lifted the leather trunk's false wall, revealing something far more peculiar than a few pieces of clothing...Small cylindrical leather container and a handheld 'punching dagger' to boot. His hand moved over the handful of identical containers laying criss-cross and slightly scattered in the 'real' case, and resolutely chose one of them, as if he knew which one held the contents he needed, regardless of their identical exterior. Removing the fine leather string holding the leather wrap in place, he removed and unrolled the parchment at eye level. For the first time since that soft, mocking, snicker...He made sound, mumbling softly to himself, his eyes taking in every word carefully while his ears focused solely on his own voice: "Dmitri 'Demitrios' Saratov" 'Prospect #3' Name: Dmitri Surname: Saratov Age: 30 Birthday: 64th of Fall, 483 AV Gender: Male Race: Human Birthplace: Ravok Current Location: Sunberth Last known appearance: Intel on Dmitri Saratov: Born on the 64th of Fall, 483 AV, in Ravok. Entire family devout followers of Rhysol. Father, member of the Ebonstryfe, MIA since 495 AV. Presumably dead. Mother, lost stability and mind shortly after, attempted to kill Dmitri. Dmitri escaped, wounded and traumatized, seeking shelter at his uncle's house, also member of the Ebonstrye. Justice, and public execution, followed suit. Dmitri and his uncle attended the execution, which did not go smooth nor swift. Raised by his uncle to be an asset to Rhysol and especially The Black Sun, ever since. Moved out at 18 years old, remaining in Ravok and training on his best skills and disciplines while expanding his repertoire, arsenal and influence. Presently, age 30, left Ravok and was last seen in Sunberth. Caution recommended: Sociopathic liar and manipulator. No known allegiances, except devotion towards Rhysol & The Voice. ** Not known to anyone but Dmitri's a low-ranking member of the Night Eyes. ** Languages: Fluent: Common Skill Board:   Larcency Skill Score Total Competency Larcency 20 (15RB+5SP) 20 Climbing 5 (SP) 5 Stealth 10 (SP) 10 Cartography +1 1   Manipulation Skill Score Total Competency Acting 20 (SP) +2 +1 +2 +2 27 Competent Disguise 5 (SP) +1 +1 +1 8 Subterfuge +2 2 Tactics +1 1 Interrogation +1 +1 +1 3 Intimidation +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 6 Intelligence +1 +2 +3 +1 7 Negotiation +1 1 Observation +5 +1 +3 +5 +4 +1 +2 +4 +4 29 Competent Persuasion +2 +1 3 Planning +1 +1 +2 4 Rhetoric +1 +2 3 Philosophy +1 +2 +1 +1 5 Socialization +2 +5 +1 +4 12 Flirting +3 3   Combat Skill Score Total Competency Stiletto 5 (SP) +1 6 Brawling +2 +1 3 Unarmed Combat +5 5 Endurance +4 4   Magic Skill Score Total Competency Hypnotism +1 1 Lore Book:   Social Starter Lore: Leaving One's Nest Starter Lore: Religion: Rhysol Old Fisher's dead family.
