Drayden

Patient. Wise. Deadly.

Drayden was kidnapped from his home as a baby, and doesn't remember his family. He was trained from the start as an assassin, learning skills that made him a stealthy, lethal predator. The group that kidnapped him are a resistance movement in the hill country, who don't like the way Thebes (the capitol city) is run. They are kind of religious nuts.

A priest in this group teaches Drayden to read and write, and also trains him as a kind of pseudo-scholar.

When Drayden was still quite young, the outpost of these zealots was found, and he was forced to flee. He didn't know much about his neighboring cities, but he was well trained to survive in the wild on his own. He eventually takes a job with a local city guard, where he meets Idaceen. She recognizes his skills, and when she leaves to make a sports team, she recruits him. He's the "secret weapon" on the team, the one everyone else is afraid of. Idaceen tends to think outside the box, so you never know which way she's going to use his skill.

He's kind of the typical "strong, silent" type, but he has kind of a quirky sense of humor. It's a little twisted, but he's generally a good natured fellow. He never really took particular enjoyement out of being an assassin, he just kind of did it, and he was good at it. He likes music more than anything ... he frequently attends city wise art displays of either music or theater.
