Locales Frequented: Tethyr, the Underdark and rarely Menzoberranzan.

History: A�yin was born to a peasant girl in Tethyr after an orc raid in the Year of the Sword and Stars (1332 DR). His mother died in childbirth, and A�yin was taken in by a monk to be raised as his own. The monk then sent him out into to learn of the world when he was of the age of manhood.

A�yin was then captured by slavers and sent into the Underdark to be sold. There he was insulted by a drow slaver and challenged him. The drow used a typical black metal long sword of drow make, while A�yin was to fight with a knife.

Throwing the knife away, A�yin then bested the drow and killed him with a mighty blow to the back of his head with the heel of his foot! Amalica, the lead drow was so impressed that he allowed A�yin to take his rightful place as side aid, the very same position that the drow he killed held.

A�yin then traveled to Menzoberranzan and then back out into the wilds of the Underdark with Amalica and his rogues. He was granted total freedom and soon traveled back to the lost valley in the Tethyrian forest of his birth to the monastery, where he now learns more of the martial art style he has devoted himself to.

Motivations/Goals: To become the best warrior he can and to serve law to its fullest.

Campaign Uses: The unlikely hero, A'yin is the perfect warrior to asist misfit characters or outlaws, even being involved merely to heal someone.
