Strongbow Firehand's

Legacy...

Enter, a cloaked figure. A hush falls over the room as he moves to a corner table with cat-like grace and slowly sits down.... pulling back the hood of his dark blue cloak reveals long flowing raven-black hair, expressive steel-grey eyes and uniquely gold-tinged skin. Beneath the cloak, gleaming elven-made plate mail can be seen, a large moonstone pendant in the shape of a crescent moon rests against his chest glittering on a golden chain. A circlet of Corellon sits shining upon his brow. With his ruby-red glassteel longsword at his side, Strongbow has another mission. The innkeeper knowingly awaits. Another mission, and with the Cat assigned to it, one they know will be accomplished... best just to let him sit and drink... and think.....

Strongbow's exact origins are unknown, as he was orphaned as an infant and never knew his true family. He approximates his age at around 275 - 300 years, and is constantly searching for any information he can find about his heritage. He grew up on the streets of Neverwinter and was known then as VonWildcat and, while never having to experience the true ravages of life in the gutters (thanks largely to the Elven brotherhood taking care of their own), nevertheless, the effects of living there had a way of shaping a persons "outlook" on life. Material possesions became extremely valuable, minor bits of territory a major claim. Out of all this emerged an elf, who, while not possessing a great deal, appreciates what he has.

The streets of Neverwinter are no place for the timid. Hungry beasts prowl the streets in hopes of catching the unwary. Dirty ragged lumps of humanity lie in wait for you to go to sleep so they can steal your shoes. As a child, he remembers playing that waiting game..

Strongbow is a collector of both the fabulous and the mundane, and a specialist at infiltration and disguise. He is dedicated to preserving the Elven Way of Life and he knows that by doing this, he will find his own true path. His joining of the Tel'Mithrim was fortuitous, for he thinks that through them, his ultimate destiny can be fulfilled....
