![[Artemis.png]] # 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 served the [[Shadow Thieves]] and [[Cult of the Eternal Flame]], assassinating [[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. %% ## At a Glance Lean, weathered, utterly still. Gray threading through dark hair now. Sits in his cell with the patience of a man who has nowhere to be. No wasted movement, no nervous habits—just absolute economy of motion that makes experienced guards instinctively check their weapons. The most dangerous prisoner in Revel's End, and the only one who surrendered voluntarily. Model prisoner. Never causes trouble. Exercises in the courtyard with mechanical precision. Every veteran guard has the same quiet fear: what happens if he decides to leave? Something is different about him now. The cold perfection is still there, but there are cracks—moments where he stares at nothing, hands that occasionally shake before he stills them. He chose the cage. That fact unsettles people more than any threat could. ## Personality Discipline as religion. Every emotion controlled, every action deliberate. But [[Graz'zt]]'s possession showed him what he looks like from the outside—a weapon, point and shoot—and [[Jarlaxle]]'s manipulation proved the lesson wasn't learned. He built his entire identity around never being used, and he's been used twice by people who treated his skills like a tool in a drawer. The emptiness that once felt like strength now feels like a hole where something should be. ## 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."_ ## 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—who built his entire identity on never being controlled—watched from inside his own body as he assassinated [[Laeral Silverhand]] and [[Eather Heilean]]. [[Xyrbwynn]] killed him. It should have ended there. **The Resurrection:** [[Jarlaxle Baenre]] brought him back. The drow mercenary saw a project, a partner, maybe even a friend to rehabilitate. Entreri was different after Graz'zt—something cracked in the foundation. Jarlaxle thought he could coax humanity back into him. **The Betrayal:** Instead, Jarlaxle manipulated him into another kill. The details Entreri keeps to himself, but it was someone whose death he can't justify, can't file away as professional necessity. He realized he'd never stop being used. 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 didn't know what to make of it. They accepted because refusing seemed more dangerous than agreeing. ## Stats ![[Grandfather Assassin]]
