Lodin Lockewood

Race:Human
Class: Rogue

Appearance

Lodin Lockewood is an averaged height human (5′8″) with a lean, yet
well toned build. He has very well kept, medium length, brown hair
with simple sideburns and skin that takes to tanning well in the
summer months. This provides a greater contrast for his piercing blue
eyes that always seem to have a trickster’s twinkle to them. Lodin is
a bon vivant and enjoys the finer things in life when it comes to
food, entertainment, the arts, and what he wears. He puts on the front
of a socialite playboy with little care. He will seemingly drink
himself to excess, but in the end, it turns out you were the one who
blacked out and now Lodin has run off with your money. He is unaligned
and worships no deity, unless a situation calls for it. Lodin prefers
misdirection and deception when it comes to battle. Lodin will
manipulate and deceive those around him if it helps him accomplish his
own personal goals. One such goal is of long-term vengeance and
ambition.

Backstory

After the Bloodspear Wars that left Fallcrest a shadow of its former
glory, life struggled to return to normalcy. As reconstruction began,
one of the key industries that was needed to rebuild the city was the
bustling trading business of the pre-war era. Turian Lockewood came to
Fallcrest after the war to start one of the first merchant houses to
be established in Fallcrest after the war. A wily and ruthless
business man, who was not afraid of using shadier business practices,
Lockewood, Inc. quickly established itself as one of the top merchant
houses. From Fastromel to Harkenwold to Winterhaven, Lockewood, Inc.
was thriving in the struggling trade market. Soon, though, other
merchant groups, the Halfmoons and House Azaer, began to threaten
Lockewood’s market share.

Lodin grew up in the merchant house life in Fallcrest’s urban
environment. He never knew his mother, but rumors are that he was the
result of a love affair between his father and a young Markelhay noble
(more then likely propagated by Lodin himself throughout Fallcrest).
He tended to gravitate towards the roguish agents that worked for
Lockewood, Inc. and soon learned the ways of the shadows and thievery.
His father soon saw his son’s potential for these backalley arts and
put him to work within Fallcrest on small time jobs. Lodin soon became
very adept in the ways of stealth, acrobatics and deception.

The trading business was not great in Fallcrest anymore and if
Lockewood, Inc. was to survive, one or both of Halfmoon and House
Azaer would have to go. Relations between the three merchant houses
had recently reached the boiling point. Lodin and Turian soon both
hatched a plan that would eliminate both of their competitors and
leave only Lockewood, Inc. Lodin was 15.

Unfortunately for the Lockewoods, Halfmoon and House Azaer was a half-
step ahead and had collaborated to get rid of the Lockewoods in one
fiery, bloody stroke. The night before the Lockewood’s plan would go
into play, the combined Halfmoon/Azaer group executed their own plan.
Throughout Fallcrest and the Nentir valley, Lockewood estates and
trading posts were burned and many Lockewood employees killed.
Lockewood was effectively wiped out. Turian was killed by Halfmoon/
Azaer assassins that night and nothing with the Lockewood name was
left unscathed. Lodin was scouting out the Azaers HQ at the time and
returned to his fathers house to find him slain. Lodin, although
enraged, realized there was little he could do now that Lockewood,
Inc. had been dismantled. Being one step behind costed him his
father’s life and all they had worked for.

Lodin is now 24 and has returned to Fallcrest to take his vengeance
against the merchant houses and to restore the Lockewood name. He is
currently cautious about revealing his last name until the time is
right or if it is someone he feels he can trust. All until the time is
right…..
