Erradyn

Description
A young half elven man with bright blond, straight flowy hair. The younger of the two brothers is tall and thin with an ever present half smile.

Always quick a smile and a joke, Erradyn is overly concerned with success.

Background
Clayton Blackmore married twice; once for money and once for comfort.

Clayton met Quellin, an elf noble woman, after being captured for trespassing. Although neither person felt a romantic love for the other, there was a mutual curiosity, that grew into a mutual arrangement. House Dae Rhy needed a male heir and Quelling was desperate. Clayton, ever hapless, used this opportunity to learn more about elven furniture.

Although they moved back to the human lands, Erradyn's childhood was easy at first. His mother, Quellin, loved him dearly and gave him every opportunity she could. Erradyn had a long line of tutors and was allowed to pursue every passing interest. Although he was never a great student, he was eager to please his parents.

In his early teen years, Erradyn began helping his father work within the craftsman guild. Clayton was never quite able to relate Erradyn; however, the boy's education proved useful. Clayton started to employ Erradyn as his representative at the guild. Although he never quite caught on to the bureaucracy of the guild, Erradyin was always able to convince others to finish his jobs for him.

Erradyn began to find his stride in the one place he felt comfortable - in front of a crowd. The high he received from having the audience hang off his words drove him to master some unseen craft. He quickly learned how to control crowds, summon laughter and tears.

Paperwork, study, and performance may have been his life, had Orrin's mom not returned. Droughna showed up out of the blue. To Erradyn, she was a spectre, a name talked about in hushed tones. Her clan bullied its way into town to reclaim her property, Orrin.

When the dust settled, Erradyn and Orrin had barely survived but had lost it everything. Both Clayton and Quellin were slain by Droughna, their town reduced to ashes, and the brothers were left with each other. The guilt and betrayal felt by the pair was enough to convince them it was time to move on. They gathered what little remained in the town and bought passage to the new world for an opportunity to forge their own path.

Plot Hooks

 * Unbeknownst to him, Erradyn is the scion of House Dae Rhy
 * Erradyn is very close to Orrin and would do anything to protect him
 * Erradyn always strives to be the center of attention and will sell out others (except Orrin) for an opportunity to shine
