Here's the dark of the one they call Respen Leafsting, cutter. Listen carefully...

Born in Arvandor to a semi-nomadic tribe of Wild Elves, Respen lived a fairly uneventful and carefree life as an elven youth. Delighting in the many pleasures that the plane of Arborea has to offer, he spent many a night investigating the shadowy depths of the woods and the sunfly dances in the fields and plains. One such occasion proved to be somewhat costly, however. A raiding force from one in the employ of one of the lower planes surprised the young elf, clubbing him into unconciousness before he even knew who his attackers were. When the blackness faded and his sight returned, Respen awoke in a loud, noisy, strange city where the horizon curved upwards: the sprawling metropolis of Sigil.

Finding he was not alone in a darkened, dingy basement storage area, Respen spoke with the other prisoners. From one he learned that the group of them was likely doomed to be sold by some unscrupulous merchant or other to whichever side would pay most in the Blood War. Such a fate was not to be, as a similarly mercenary group of adventurers raided the place. Freeing the prisoners more as a distraction than out of compassion, they proceeded to loot anything of value. In the chaos, Respen vanished into the den that is the Hive.

Deep in that pit where survival of the fittest rules, Respen learned the arts of the petty thief. Posing as a tout, he'd take a mark to their destination while those he'd allied with would stage events to enable them to relieve a poor soul of any loose possessions. On one such "run", he encountered Saevrum, a servant of Solonor Thelandria. A failed attempt to rob the other elf's purse resulted in the gang of would-be-thieves scattering, with Respen being firmly collared by the ranger. Things certainly didn't look too healthy for the young elfling. Luck smiled on him, however, as the elf "victim" seemed to take pity on the youth. Instead of turning him into a Harmonium patrol, he took the boy under his wing. Leaving him with the Sensates instead of the Hardheads, the boy was soon taught the errors of his ways.

Convincing his tutors to let him see the delights of his home plane (and that of their headquarters outside Sigil), he made his way back to Arborea. After swallowing a few lessons of theirs at the Gilded Hall, Respen made his way back to his tribe in Arvandor and there learnt the ways of the woodsmen; how to survive in the wilderness and the basics of hunting. However, the strange lure of civilisation called to him, unlike others of his kin, and after several years, he returned once more to the Gilded Hall, and eventually Sigil. Here he met up once more with Saevrum, only this time not as a cony catcher, but as a fellow adventurer.

Respen's exploits since then remain darks few know of, but the following deeds to him have been attributed to him of late:

In addition, three times a day, the wearer can reach into one of the pockets of the cloak and pull out trail rations sufficient to feed himmself. From another pocket, the wearer may withdraw a stoppered 1-quart metal flash that produces either pure cool water or sugared hot tea. The flask produces up to two gallons of liquid per day. The flask only refills if placed back in the pocket of the cloak; if separated from the cloak or wearer, it has no magical properties.
