Name of Character

• Lord ? Baara: I would like to keep the last name. However, the first name is open for a player to determine.

Looking For:

• Male

Trade / Occupation

• Appears to be a diplomat who travels from land to land negotiating trade and other agreements. His alleged land of origin would be open / optional. His true origins is from the Obsidian Islands (far to the west or east depending on perspective), the "city" of Ys.

Synopsis

Lord Baara is the human personification of the evil entity of Tar'garath, the Shadowed One, Lord of Shadows, God of Chaos, etc. Essentially, Baara is a human that was taken by some of Tar'garath's dark minions and brought to the Obsidian Islands where the baby was put through a ritual that would embed a "sliver" of the Shadowed One's spirit within the child.

Note: The Deity, Tar'garath, is trapped in a virtual prison hemmed about by inordinately powerful wards, and spell-locks. He cannot escape and can only access the world via this blood-magic ritual.

The ritual and sliver do not transfer any major magical powers to Baara because that would make it easier for him to be caught by Drakeri, Sidhe, or Ddraig. The sliver is buried so deep that it would take major effort for anyone that can sense the Shadow to ferret it out.

Baara is a power-broker whose goal is to set one House against another while seeming to be helpful. He is often employed as a neutral negotiator / mediator.

Note: In personality and overt nature, I see Baara almost identical to Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. In fact, that's even the "face" that I see.

To be in a position to do his "job", Baara would about have to have been fostered or adopted by one of the more powerful Houses of the realms. Optionally, he could be from the continent of Vaalbara (one of the free states or even the Herian Empire). With the Herian Empire, think Roman Empire. He could easily claim to be the last of some great house or another that has settled in X because his house fell out of favor with the Emperor (no fault of their own, of course).
