![[ArtemisEntreriPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Artemis Entreri _Human Assassin | Self-Imprisoned | [[Revel's End]]_ ## Summary Legendary assassin, once considered the deadliest killer on the Sword Coast. Thirty years ago he fell under [[Graz'zt]]'s control and, serving the [[Shadow Thieves]] and [[Cult of the Eternal Flame]], assassinated [[Laeral Silverhand]] and [[Eather Heilean]] before [[Xyrbwynn]] killed him. [[Jarlaxle Baenre]] resurrected him, but after being manipulated into another kill he regrets, Entreri surrendered himself to [[Revel's End]] — the only cage where no one can scry him, dominate him, or teleport him out. %% ## Now The most dangerous prisoner in [[Revel's End]], and the only one who surrendered voluntarily. A model prisoner who exercises with mechanical precision. Every veteran guard shares the same quiet fear: what happens if he decides to leave? ## Appearance Lean, weathered, and utterly still, with gray threading through dark hair now. No wasted movement, no nervous habits — an economy of motion that makes experienced guards instinctively check their weapons. ## Personality Discipline as religion — every emotion controlled, every action deliberate. [[Graz'zt]]'s possession showed him what he looks like from the outside, a weapon to point and shoot, and [[Jarlaxle Baenre|Jarlaxle]]'s manipulation proved the lesson wasn't learned. He built his identity around never being used and has been used twice. He chose the cage, and that fact unsettles people more than any threat. ## Quote _"I've killed men who begged. Men who fought. Men who never saw me coming. None of it matters. I'm here because I finally killed someone who made me wish I hadn't."_ ## Connections **[[Jarlaxle Baenre]]** — resurrected him, then manipulated him into a kill he regrets. **[[Graz'zt]]** — possessed him, using him as a weapon. **[[Xyrbwynn]]** — killed him during his possession. **[[Drizzt Do'Urden]]** — old rival, fought to standstills. **[[Laeral Silverhand]]** — blamed for her assassination; the killer was [[Mirt]] wearing his shape. **[[Eather Heilean]]** — assassinated under [[Graz'zt]]'s control. ## Background **The Weapon:** Rose from Calimport's gutters through pure ruthlessness — no magical enhancements, just absolute mastery of blade and self. Fought [[Drizzt Do'Urden]] to standstills. Signature weapons: a jeweled dagger that drains life force and the sword Charon's Claw, separated from both now. **The Possession:** During the [[Oblivion War]], [[Graz'zt]] claimed him as a weapon in the demon lord's service to [[Tharizdun]]. Entreri watched from inside his own body as he assassinated [[Laeral Silverhand]] and [[Eather Heilean]]. [[Xyrbwynn]] killed him. **The Resurrection:** [[Jarlaxle Baenre]] brought him back, seeing a project and perhaps a friend to rehabilitate. Something had cracked in Entreri's foundation after [[Graz'zt]]. **The Betrayal:** Instead, [[Jarlaxle Baenre|Jarlaxle]] manipulated him into another kill — someone whose death he can't justify. He realized he'd never stop being used, and that death doesn't stick. The only solution was a cage where magic doesn't work. **The Choice:** He walked into [[Revel's End]] and surrendered. The [[Lords' Alliance]] accepted, because refusing seemed more dangerous than agreeing. ## Stats **Base:** Assassin — see [[Grandfather Assassin]]. ![[Grandfather Assassin]] %%
