Name
Morgan

Age
27

Physical Description
Morgan isn't called "the golden boy" for nothing; he is a beautiful man. His rock-hard muscles are flawlessly sculpted and his body is almost perfectly proportioned. He's slightly tall at about 6' or thereabouts, with a medium build. His chiseled features are classic, handsome yet pretty at the same time. He almost always has a disarming smile playing on his lips, but when he grins his white teeth are dazzling white.

Morgan's hair is the color of the first rays of mornings golden dawn.  His eyes are bright green with visible golden flecks.

Morgan's voice is silkily masculine, and his singing voice is very charming (think the singer of "Threes" on Heralds, Harpers & Havoc).

Personality/ Attitude
Perhaps the most absurd thing about Morgan is how charming he is. Something about him makes most people immediately like - and trust - him. Morgan is incredibly suave and could probably talk his way out of anything - he could stab a woman in the chest in broad daylight and then convince her he wasn't at fault before she died if he was so inclined. He's gifted with words and has an intuitive way of dealing with people - he's very adept at dishing out just the perfect compliments and gifts (both of which he is very generous with).

Years spent in poverty - and then later years spent in luxury - have instilled in Morgan a healthy love of lavish life - and he most certainly does live the lavish life!

Morgan always seems as if he's mildly amused. Those who "do business" with him often find his constant smirk a little unnerving, but those who don't know about his "extracurricular activies" just think he's a good-natured, cheerful man. Very little bothers this cool and easy-going murderer. Morgan almost always takes things in stride, calmly calculating every situation so as to come out on top.

Brief History
Morgan's was born to an impoverished streetwalker of southern Rethwellen. The assassin doesn't have any recollection of the woman who gave birth to him, however, because she sold him when he was only a youngling. Morgan was passed from employer to employer and spent much of his younger days in child brothels, a tool for men and women's pleasure. As the golden haired, beautiful child became a little older, he grew more skilled at his work - and very manipulative. Morgan learned to blackmail his "patrons" so cleverly and subtly that they never knew it was him.  It was about this time the young man began sporadically hearing "voices" which he learned were the thoughts of those within a little over a mans-length of him.

It was then that he was "discovered" by a wealthy man with a foreign accent. The man bought him, ushering in a new chapter in the boy's life. His patron - a decadent young man called Lord Lykeios - immediately "enrolled" the young boy in a vicious "school" in the south. For almost a decade Morgan was beaten and tortured, trained - but never scarred (he would later learn that Lord Lykeios had specified that). Morgan was given special treatment from the other students in that way.

In addition to learning how to disguise himself, make poisons, sneak, steal, fight, kill, and all manner of things assassin, he had private tutelage from strange foreigners his Lord sent, men who taught him how to control his weak but incredibly useful Mindspeech, how to dance, how to sing, how to speak many languages - and, strangely enough - taught him business, geography, history, and politics. The young man was taught all manner of things courtly and polite while living and training at a school for all manner of things underhanded and devious. Morgan excelled in his studies, but in the environment of jaded and bitter souls his perpetually mildly amused attitude caused his fellow students and his teachers to never quite trust him.

When he "graduated" from the school he was returned to his benefactor, the Lord Lykeios. With his newfound knowledge, it was that much more impressive when he learned that his "Lord" was from the feared Eastern Empire - and, even more surprising was the fact that Lykeios was only about a decade Morgan's senior. In his Lord's keep, Morgan learned what it meant to be born into the lap of luxury. Lykeios kept his "pet" very well taken care of, giving him spectacular food, luxurious rooms, and tasteful clothing, all while continuing his tutelage.

One night, Lykeios came to him and finally revealed his wishes. If Morgan would kill his father and older brother, Lykeios promised to "take care of him". If he failed, however, he would be forced to disown the assassin - who would then undoubtedly suffer a very slow, very painful death. Morgan proved his skill by easily dispatching the two men, and Lykeios became the true lord of the estate.

Lykeios, being raised in the Eastern Empire, easily realized that Morgan hadn't killed out of loyalty to him but rather out of loyalty to money, and so the young lord decided it was probably best to put the skilled assassin as far out of reach from his richer adversaries as possible. So the young lord sent Morgan to Haven, setting him up with a little tavern and a formidable sum of money. The assassin 'set up shop' and skillfully wove himself into the intrigues of the witchy nation, becoming his master's hidden eyes and ears within the very heart of the war-torn Valdemar, a nation that Lykeios was certain would soon be ripe for the picking...

Morgan has more recently become more involved in the business of skillfully and quietly selling information - and in "acquiring" and "peddling" the services of the best assassins he can get his hands on. By subtly promoting strife within the nation, Morgan realizes that he is weakening his target bit by bit - and making a decent profit while doing it, too!

Goals in life
Morgan really doesn't have any loyalty to anything or anybody but himself - and therefore, the "Golden Boy"s goals all revolve around self-preservation - and making sure that self-preservation is as comfortable and lavish as humanly possible.

Gifts
Very weak (but impeccably honed) Mindspeech - while this gift sometimes allows him to hear the thoughts of those around him, more often it just helps augment his intuitive people skills; it also allows him to very adeptly know who to manipulate and how to do it - and when not to.

An "unofficial" gift Morgan has is his charisma. People naturally and easily trust and like him.

Position
Hmmm... a "businessman" you could say.

Morgan runs a rather fashionable tavern in the upper-middleclass districts of Haven.

The Dancing Fawn

The Dancing Fawn is an establishment of impeccable tastes. The whitewashed and incredibly clean interior has been painted in bold, daring colors and swathed in the finest fabrics. The tavern is located in a nice part of Haven - not right among the rich, but not too far from them. Even though it isn't quite located in the fray of court, it most certainly is a frequently visited indulgence of the aristocrats and merchants of Valdemar. The merchants, of course, enjoy The Dancing Fawn because it is the perfect place to schmooze with all the right people; the aristocrats, however, find it to be the perfect place to get away from all the politics and loosen their tongues, finding company that was a little more enjoyable than their stuffy counterparts - but didn't have fleas like the lower 'scum' of Haven.

So it was thus that no one blinks an eye when people of all sorts enter and exit The Dancing Fawn... And Morgan wouldn't have it any other way.

The serving girls that work in The Dancing Fawn are pretty and seemingly simple folk. The patrons who frequent the tavern don't think twice about speaking freely among the girls (and boys). How could they know Morgan handpicks them for their almost perfect recitation skills as well as their trusting natures, and sweet, innocent looks? Morgan pays his underlings well and treats them with caring consideration. The handsome man has earned his staff's trust and respect - they've come to love and adore their generous host, and wouldn't betray him for the world. How could they possibly realize that their charming lord is really in the business of acquiring and peddling information and assassins?
