Physical Description:
A sinewy man with light skin, brown eyes, black hair, and more than a few small scars, Kalubiar's physique has narrowly evaded death at the hands of Mordecai agents and rival thieves more than twice. In the field, Kalubiar wears black, brown, and muted green-dyed leather armor with matching boots, gloves, and a dark hood drawn over his head.

Personality: Working a combination of solo and two-person jobs, Kalubiar's contacts note his dry humor and short sentences interspersed by long periods of silence while looting artifacts from both ruins as well as occupied houses. Behind his aloof exterior, his heart burns with ambition, yearning to find that one run that could finally enable him to finish his magical studies and permanently settle elsewhere in Serendipity.

Magic/Abilities
  • Crossbow Proficiency – Kalubiar mastered the use of crossbows and arbalests during his conscript training in Highheart. The man prefers to use a specific crossbow he stole on the night of his desertion when he tore off his insignia and fled southeast into Serendipity.
  • Bolt Enchantments – Having completed only four years of part-time magical education on top of scrambling to learn written Common, Kalubiar prioritized learning enchantments and other basic charms first where he might be able to complement his martial skills. Consequently, Kalubiar's favorite tactics include the use of fireburst and stunbolt charms where enchanted crossbow bolts explode on impact or stun his targets.
  • Stealth & Larceny – When Kalubiar arrived in Serendipity, his Connlaothian accent and lack of trade skills barred him from most jobs in Featherfall save for farm work. Between settling in a refugee camp as a non-magical deserter amongst vengeful mages, surviving homelessness while working for a pitiful sum, or turning to property crime, Kalubiar chose the latter option. His first few burglary runs came dangerously close to his arrest and probable deportation, events that– thankfully– never happened. In the eight years since, Kalubiar's observation, infiltration, and extraction techniques have managed to keep him out of jail and the deathly remains piles of many adventurers gone missing. He has, of course, become remarkably agile and observant with regards to trap discovery and evasion.

Relationships:

Kalubiar's mother worked as a seamstress while his father worked as a blacksmith in their son's youth. At the onset of the Connlaothian Civil War, Kalubiar's father was drafted into the noble's march to fight the rebels while Kalubiar himself was ordered to garrison his home village. His father's whereabouts remain unknown, and contact with his mother is extremely limited owing to the possibility of her execution should someone discover the woman communicating with a known fugitive.

Despite his status, Kalubiar aspires to reunite with his parents one day and to sneak them south across the border.
