Sly

Appearance
Sly is known more for his famous jobs such as dealing with the 'Cockmongler' and other notorious bounties, which he has often undertaken with the assitance of his friend Cassius; he does not shy away from illegal jobs, although most of his accomplishments are within the law's boundaries.

Additionally, he's participated in the Serpent Sea Battle (502; March) and the 2nd Serpent Sea Battle (502; April).

He was, also, the employer of Ryan and Byron during their guise as adventurers.

The First Assault on the Serpent
Swayed by the promise of gold, the assassin joined the assault ship departing for the Great Serpent, whereupon he met his future companion Cassius and also introduced himself to the mage Conrad.

Pressed heavily from all sides, the adventurer party beat off the storming Fishmen that plunged themselves out of the ocean to slay the crew. Sly himself suffered minor wounds which were healed magically by Cassius and he stood combat ready until the appearance of the Sea Serpent.

Two of the fleets unloaded all their shots and cannons on the monstrosity, to little avail, heavily wounding the creature and coloring the ocean red, but at the cost of many casualties; the enraged entity smashed and obliterated two thirds of the Icrithian Fleet.

Sly and Conrad were saved by Cassius and his quick thinking; when their vessel was about to be left behind as rearguard, he tricked an ally captain into letting them aboard, to retreat for the shore.

The Second Assault on the Sea Serpent
Having been given a choice between fighting on land or sea (with varying rewards for both), he decided on the former, joining the company of 'Oryn' and the mercenary captain Bjorn, along with the known mage Cassius.

Left as vanguard against the shore incursion of the Fishmen the small group of men repelled several attacks before withdrawing to the nearest village, for want of reinforcements in the form of the villagers, and fortifications, in the meagre form of the settlement.

After a moment's discussion, Sly left with the company of the non-combatant villagers, to evacuate them to Yrille.

The evacuation was scarce necessary, for by the time they reached Yrille, the vanguard was withdrawing as well; the in-land Fishmen were destroyed by a small part of the city's garrison.

Additional Notes
Sly carries on his arm the mark of the White God of Frost, which, by the time he acquired it, was unknown to him. After long searching, the clerk Daren of his and Cassius's own business, told him of its meaning... for exchange of 200 crowns.
