Age: 419
Race: Drow (Dark elf)
Class: Assassin
Alignment: Neutral Good


Appearance: Lothious would be considered in his prime by elven standards.  He stands barely 5'6".  He possesses ice blue eyes and the white locks of his heritage descending to about shoulder length.  As a drow, he also possesses the ebony skin, and pointed ears of his kin.  He is usuallyclad in a dark cloak, and worn leather traveling clothes.  His weapons of choice are a saber, dirk, and a jewled dagger.


Equipment: His saber is endowed with cold magics. The dirk is endowed with a spell of sonic strike, allowing a sonic boom to be created twice a day. His famed jeweled dagger is enchanted with a lightning morph spell, allowing the blade to transform into a streak of lightning when thrown. His cloak is endowed with a spell of darkness allowing his form to fade into shadows at will. He carries a set of twenty throwing knives.


History: Born to a lower family in the drow society, he was offered as a sacrifice to the goddess Lloth. During the ritual, he was stabbed twice as an infant, and left for dead in the underdark. He was found later by a group of Mind Flays and nursed back to health and enslaved by these cruel creatures with the abilities to control minds. He served these creatures for several years, always having caused problems for them by breaking his transe with his anger. At the age of 54, he escaped their spell, fleeing into the underdark where he wandered alone until the age of 163. It was at this time he found his way to the surface. During his first few years on the surface, he kept himself hidden, emerging only with nightfall. Gaining a reputation for himself as the drow thief during this time. As he grew acustomed to the light, he began traveling the world, one realm at a time. During his travels, he met a man known as Dark Schneider, a powerful magician. During his travels with this man, he learned the arts of shadow magic as well as a few of the mage's own personal spells. Eventually, the two went their seperate ways. On his travels, he came across a woman who soon after became his wife. Her name was Meldina, she was a human woman, known for her healing magics. During their time together, she had borne him two children, Shana and Helnime, yet the peace he had found was short lived. He returned from his travels one evening to find their home ablaze, his wife and children having been trapped inside, the doors and windows boarded shut to prevent escape. After his loss, he roamed the land keeping to himself, searching for the band whom had destroyed his family. Over two houndred years had passed since the death of his family, he has only now begun to move on with his life. Returning every year to his old forest home to pay tribute to his lost family.


Abilities: As all drow, he possesses their natural abilities. One such ability would be to drop a Globe of Darkness upon an enemy. This is exactly what is sounds like, it is a globe of pure darkness, rendering ALL those within it blind - even to those with heat sensing eyes. Another ability is that of Faery Fire. This is a flame that will outline its target. It will not harm them in any way, yet on most occasions it causes much fright. The final ability of all drow is the ability to Levitate. Meaning the power to rise from the ground. Although these powers are still at his disposal, the sun's light has weakened them. One ability he has gained through manipulating the shadows he has grown so accustomed to is to travel through planes of existance by using the shadows as portals to the astriel plane. He posesses the a vast array of shadow magic, using this magic to manipulate the darkness to his will.


Characteristics: He is a rather suspicious man, yet when needed, he can be trusted. He possesses adamant morals, yet these morals are often conflicted by his occupation. He tends to keep his past shadowed, often refusing to speak of it in the least. He has a sly cunning about him, which he uses both during battle, and in leisure.
