** Elaith uses his Rary's mnemonic enhancer spell to memorize an extra fireball or lightning bolt spell, with the tactical circumstances--both current and expected--determining which of the two he chooses.

Weapons of Proficiency: Dagger (both wielded and thrown), darts, hand axe, spear, short sword, long sword (specialist); 1 open.

Nonweapon Proficiencies: Ancient history (elves); blind-fighting; brewing; direction sense; modern languages (Common); observation; reading/writing (Common & Elven); riding land-based (horse); spellcraft; tactics of magic.

Equipment: Elaith has access to all standard adventuring gear, though he seldom carries much unless he's planning to leave the City of Splendors.

Magical Items: Bracers of defense AC 2 cloak of elvenkind dagger of homing +2 ring of the ram and several potions of extra-healing.
Rumors also say that Elaith has caches of vast sums of money and additional magical weapons, healing potions, and so on all over Waterdeep.

Combat/Tactics: Elaith prefers melee combat to magical, but will often soften up his foes with a dramatic fireball or lightning bolt and then close to the up-close-and-personal contest of blades. Elaith's foes are lucky in a way. They get to see firsthand a display of Elaith's dazzlingly graceful swordwork. More than once has Elaith taken certain black glee in toying with an opponent in the midst of a tavern brawl, much to the entertainment of those not involved.

Allies/Companions: Elaith tends to be hard on his allies; in other words, few live to tell the tale of their travels. Tavern stories tell of severl adventuring bands that Elaith has organized to go off after some treasure or other. Invariably, Elaith is the only member to ever return from these expeditions.
Two adventurers who have managed to survive repeated encounters with Elaith are the Harpers Danilo Thann and Arilyn Moonblade.

Foes/Enemies: While his sinister reputation precedes him these days, Elaith has few foes that live long enough to be identified as such. After his recent involvement in one of their plots, the Knights of the Shield can be considered an enemy.

Appearance: This astonishingly handsome moon elf has silver hair, amber eyes, a slender, smoothly muscled form, and a precise, melodious voice. While maintaining an indifferent air about him, this dangerous elf misses nothing that goes on around him. He earned his nickname as much from his sinuous grace in battles as from his acerbic, black humor.

Personality: Once spurned by all he'd held dear, Elaith found escape in evil and violence. He's ruthless and always in control, even to the point of being cold. The only emotion most can ever remember seeing on Elaith's face is a cold, hard rage. The moon elf's sense of ironic, black humor is also a trademark.

Locals Frequented: Evermeet (only long ago), and many locales in and around Waterdeep (including his tavern, The Hidden Blade) and Undermountain.

Motivations/Goals: Elaith's utmost concern now is his daughter and seeing that she's raised properly and is provided for in case something should happen to him. He's given up his moonblade, saving it for Azariah.

Campaign Uses: Elaith is one of the most intriguing characters Waterdeep-based PCs can meet. While he's thoroughly evil, perhaps the elf he once was has been reawakened with the birth of his heir (which can be seen in his new tendencies).
PCs could meet Elaith if he needs some reputable deed done, something he dare not risk due to his reputation, or if something happened to Azariah.
