Corvain Aldric Thess
Human, Relic hunter and grave excavator
Overly warm, complimentary, fishing for reassurance in every exchange.
The Weight of It. He wants the relic identified and disposed of safely without anyone asking where his money really came from.
Debt to the Dead. He wants to fund an expedition to properly bury his dead partner, and needs guides who won't ask questions.
Appearance
Burn-scarred hands, fine new clothes that don't fit his old habits, a nervous habit of checking a locked satchel.
Secret
The relic in his satchel is quietly draining something from anyone who sleeps near it, and he knows, and hasn't gotten rid of it because it's the only thing that made him rich.
Quirks
Buys rounds for strangers
Checks the same locked satchel every few minutes
Personality traits
Compulsively generous with money
Can't stop confessing in fragments
Ideal
Absolution. If enough people forgive him, maybe it'll feel true.
Bond
A dig-partner who died retrieving what made him rich.
Flaw
Overcompensates with generosity that draws attention he can't afford.
