Marseille

Marseille (self portrait).

Aka Tarquin ffiske. Marseille is not his real name but one made up on the spur of the moment for a town guard. He is irresponsible, a gambler, an artist, and a fop. Mostly focused on self preservation, he can be rash & opportunistic.

He is a human 18 years old tall, thin with long red hair & as his precarious finances allow, expensively garbed (fashion).

He uses his mind mage, spy & thief skills to help him gamble, charm & sell information in order to finance his art, wardrobe & dissolute lifestyle.

His father, a respected small landowner of a military background, before disowning his memory & casting him out for the final and last time, made sure he knew how to ride a horse & use a sword - probably to assist in escaping / defending himself against creditors & angry relatives.

He can pass as gentry He is a 5th son.
