Nabonidus

Name and Homeland

Nabonidus the Merchant (Human Rogue 6), The City of Kings

A sentence or two about where you are from

Nabonidus is a native of the City, a true Citizen whose family roots stretch back more than a dozen generations to before the Cabal took control of the City. He lives in a wealthier part of town in a large well protected villa. In his younger days he travelled far and wide and made his fortune trading rare and exotic items.

In his old age he settled down and left the travelling to younger men and decided to enjoy his fortune. He married a much younger woman, Alessa, a tavern dancer and some claim a whore. Behind his back many tongues whispered that she was only after his money. They were wrong and the two were truly in love. Alessa bore him his only child, a daughter, Cassandra. Two years ago Alessa died when shopping in the marketplace. A fight had broken out between rival Wizards and she was crushed by an Iron Golem moving to break things up. Since that day he has been a committed member of the Rebellion.

A brief physical description
