Rakehell Chert is a powerful rogue, fond of danger and daring due to an extensive inferiority complex.

Appearance

Rakehell is a middle-aged man with a pencil mustache, sometimes seen wearing a stylish beret. He is roughly 5'7", with short, curly brown hair. He carries the shortsword Omarannin, the Laughing Blade, which forces its victims to suffer the effects of Tasha's Hideous Laughter. He wears elaborate disguises to protect himself form Scarlet Brotherhood assassins.

History

Rakehell was raised in Hexpools and rose to high level in South Province, the Iron Hills, and nearby regions. On the run from the church of Zilchus, he moved to Scant in 562 CY. There he became master of the Wreckers, the local thieves guild.

He was among the adventuring party including Agath of Thrunch, Franz, Lord Torkeep, Reynard Yargrove, Rowena of the Silverbrow, and Warnes Starcoat who rescued the Crook of Rao from the Isle of the Ape.

After the capture of Onnwal by the Scarlet Brotherhood, Jian Destron gave Chert command of the Free Onnwal Army of Rebellion, an army of ex-thief guerrillas dedicated to freeing that enslaved land. Since then, he has led his forces to quite a few victories against the Brotherhood.

Relationships

Rakehell is tremendously attracted to Rowena of the Silverbrow, but dislikes Agath and Reynard. He is a worshiper of Olidammara.
