Appearance

You see Slum Lord Fiasko Blackrat, Immigrant of Ratha, a S'Kra Mur.
An austere uaro's'sugi of unadorned black Musparan silk is folded to obscure Fiasko's face, hiding all but a narrow strip of olive scales around his eyes.
He has a partially severed tail.

He is wearing a gaudy counterfeit gamantang, a gem-studded money bag, a scruffy black plague rat with beady red eyes, an old yak rider's satchel, an ugly grey sack, a Musparan silk belt sash with a scarlet glaes pasabas hanging from it, a jeweled Adan'f skull and some worn stalking boots.

History

Rathan Years

• Born into the prominent S'kra Mur Gamant Lisska'Vran of Ratha. Known as a mischievous youth who constantly bucked authority.
• Suffered an unknown "accident" as a child resulting in a partially severed tail. (Even to this day, he spews random and unlikely stories whenever questioned on the deformation)
• Shunned from his Ru'at and Gamant as a half-Smozh. He was branded as Fiasko and stripped of his lineage and name.
• Survived in the gutters of the Neh docks where he developed a reputation for a horrid sense of humor and his more nefarious traits.
• A regular with the Malk'smo constables and the Reshalian Prison System, he eventually received a lengthy prison sentence, organized a jail break, and stowed away on a merchant ship sailing for Zoluren.

Becoming the Blackrat

• Seeing the Crossing as a ripe target, Fiasko immediately began working the streets, taking on the alias "The Blackrat". He carved out a block on the West side, claiming it as his turf.
• These shenanigans quickly caught the eye of the Shadows. He was thugged and drug before the Sly who presented two options: Join the Guild or be fed to the rats.
• Never one to make the smart decision, Fiasko called Kalag's "bluff" - resulting in a viscous beating (hence his missing tooth) and a cage deep in the Crossing sewers infested with starving rats.
• Weeks later, two Enforcers returned to the cage with a new rat food candidate in tow. To their surprise they found a grinning Fiasko, emaciated but quite alive and petting a beady eyed rat which sat comfortably on his shoulder.
• Impressed with his resilience, the Sly offered Fiasko an apprenticeship directly under his tutilage (which he prudently accepted).
• Over time the Brothers and Sisters of the Guild become his Ru'at, his loyalty would be unquestionable.

Present Day

Altered Items

a gaudy counterfeit gamantang

• Look: Contrasting the luxurious purple fabric, midnight-black wildlace winds like a serpent about the wearer's arms and shoulders, bearing the repeating pattern of daggers accented by tiny crystalline droplets. Generous hems have been adorned with an assortment of gemstones in a blatant attempt at extravagance. The innermost layer is composed of a deep green swath of silk, intended for both comfort and to muffle the sound of any items concealed beneath.
• Read: "Designed by Hashaal" (reference to Hashal, owner of Hashal's Haven)
• Info: Original item: austere scalene gamantang with a high collar, altered by Spidersworn

a gem-studded money bag

• Look: Crushed blue velvet flows in luxurious folds, encrusted with a multitude of sapphires, amethysts, and rubies in a swirling, abstract pattern. The profusion of gemstones juxtaposed against the dark, fluid cloth creates a rippling appearance when struck by light as if reflecting upon moving water. An unobtrusive onyx clasp hinged with blackened steel secures the flap when closed.
• Info: Original item: Multi-strapped carryall, designed by Kingdok

an old yak rider's satchel

• Look: The leather satchel appears worn and is riddled with patches and other evidence of stitching and repair. Emblazoned in the leather of the flap is a man leading a shadowy charger, and a ship with a diamond on the sails, separated by a diagonal line, emblem of the Trader's Guild.
