He died with her name on his lips, and now provides knowledge of [[House Xorlarrin]]'s plots while struggling with emotions he never allowed himself in life. %% ## Now Exists as a spirit within [[Petra]]'s mind, offering her knowledge of [[House Xorlarrin]]'s plots while wrestling with feelings his living self suppressed. ## Appearance Tall, lean drow with flowing silver hair and piercing black eyes.
