Karrde
Player: Shawn Allen
Background: Since a child, Karrde remembers playing games at hide and seek, although he wasnt all too good at hiding, he was excellent and finding. This is just one of the few memories that he has of his childhood. Somehow, something traumatic happened in his childhood to block out most of his memories. He cannot remember a thing from before he was 13 years old.
One day, Karrde remembers waking up in a city known as Old Bones, joining up with a local gang there and doing weapons and contraband runs for the gang. The gang was known as the Red Snakes. Most notorious for acts of sabatage for Les Soldat groups against dimensional beings and such. Karrde's main job was to smuggle weapons and contraband to certain small groups. He was good at what he did and gained many contacts through out the Old Bones.
One day, a man known as Franko had personally sent Karrde on a weapons run to pick up a shipment of weapons from someone named Naruni. The pickup was to be made in a place known as Liberty, Ohio. The deal went bad, the person named Naruni happened to be a d-bee, which had freaked Karrde out and caused a scuffle. Karrde escaped, barely, with his life. He felt like a failure and reported back to one of Franko's emmisarries on his failure. He was interrogated and eventually disbanded from the gang.
Having nothing more to do in Quebec, he decided to go out on his own to find out what was in the world. He had visited places such as Tolkeen, the burbs of Chi-Town, Liberty, Lazlo (interesting place), and several small towns. In that time, he learned that not all dimensional beings are evil or bad. He picked up several jobs to get spare cash. All very easy.
On Karrde's 22 birthday, he was travelling just west of the town that lead to his loss of respect with the Red Snakes, Liberty. He was running for his life from a group of marauding Brodkil demons, a form of d-bee notorious for the region. After ditching the demons for a short time, Karrde found himself lost in the forests north of the magic zone. He wandered around for days, running out of food and water.
Karrde was on the brink of collapse when a tall demon approached him. Karrde looked up at the half conscious view of the demon. It stood 8-10 feet tall and was humanoid. It's lipless face is mostly a line of sharp teeth from earhole to earhole. The demon introduced itself as Dro'Lazz and offered to help Karrde, in return for one favor. Karrde agreed out of desperation.
The demon has asked Karrde to go to a city known as Dweomer and wait for a wizard by the name of Kredule. The wizard would mostly likely be accompanied by a slave. Although, he was to deliver a simple watch, although, the watch had an odd looking gem planted right into the face of it. If the job was successful, then Dro'Lazz would offer Karrde other jobs, worth alot of money.
At that moment, Karrde was transported to a cave, a cave with some strange circle drawn in into the rock floor with some sort of colored paint or oil. The demon simply stepped onto the circle and opened a dimensional rift.
Nervous of the outcome of stepping through the rift. Karrde was hesitant. Having heard stories of people stepping through rifts and coming back moments later, tortured half to death and several years older to walking right into a group of hungry Xiticix. Dro'Lazz reassured him that he would be safe in this city.
Karrde steps through the rift, the demon says, "Wait for Kredule, give him the watch, and stay with him if you want more jobs. He will be able to help you and you can help him. I think that this will be a great partnership." The demon almost seems to smile as he hands Karrde a picture of Kredule. Kredule is a tall individual with eyes that are pure white and white hair. A rather creepy looking individual.
Description: Karrde has black hair and brown eyes. He stands 5'7" and is about 150 lbs.
Note: Karrde is murdered as a result of collateral damage against Jarenth. Ford is killed along side of Karrde.
