History

After completing a particularly risky quest for Olidammara, Kuroth was sponsored to godhood by the Laughing Rogue.
Famous exploits of Kuroth include stealing Shandor's Gavel while the Court of Essence in Rauxes was in session and stealing flawless emeralds from Vlad Tolenkov's coffin while the vampire lord slept. (DRA#294, page 96)
