Kyuri Essler is a human shadow sorcerer.
Physical Appearance
Standing about 5’10”, he sports collar-length black hair, a bit unruly at the ends, and gray eyes. Eschewing traditional sorcerer gear in favor of simpler attire, he wears linen and leather garments in complementary neutral tones. A small metal ring adorns his right index finger, holding an inlaid crystal shaped like a dragon’s eye.
History
Born to a family with a long line of magic users, there was no surprise or fanfare when Kyuri began displaying a talent for it as a child; thankfully the fire was contained quickly and the house didn’t burn down.
But the Essler name also bears a mark of shame, as whispers throughout town insinuate many family members have entwined their fate with the infernal creatures spilled from the Ten Hells—accepting devils’ bargains to attain higher wealth and status amongst their peers with questionable speed. Inheriting this widespread suspicion as his birthright, Kyuri has gone out of his way to break out from under the family’s shadow (pun only slightly intended.) He conceals his last name when he can, worships the sun god Pelor, and spent a few years as part of the City Watch solely to gain the peoples’ trust. This was met with mixed results, given the fact his natural affinity for shadow magic and infernal language comes directly from the family bloodline.
Abilities
Attuned to the shadows around him since childhood, most of Kyuri’s abilities come from this connection. However, he’s managed to use his magic for (mostly) benign purposes, and two years ago he came to possess a ring connected to the spirit of a dragon named Iirtem. The dragon agreed to become his ally in a fight, and bestowed a couple of gifts upon the sorcerer as well.
