Name: Ranir(ONPC) Age: 52 Residence: Dawning Light Minor Hold
Rank: Steward
Brief Description of Persona:
Ranir is short (5' 6"), portly (190#), bald,
with just a fringe of black hair around his pate, and not given to excess
physical exertion. Small brown eyes seem to twinkle beneath bushy eyebrows and
he has a ready smile, giving him the appearance of a kindly grandfather or sweet
old uncle. He is conservative in his selection of clothing and never wears
jewelry, so one would think him a man content and comfortable with his station
in life.
A living example of the old Harper saying
"you can't judge a skin by its wrapping," Ranir is greedy, power hungry, devious
and plotting. He cares nothing for anyone else except Nyara, and her primarily
because he sees her as his path to success (altho some say they've heard rumor
he's her uncle). To him people are things to be used then cast aside when no
longer needed. He has no concept of honor, he will lie when the truth would
suffice, and would even plot the death of someone without concern (other than to
ensure he himself could never be implicated). For lack of a better term, he is
a tunnelsnake in human clothing.
Brief History of Persona:
Born in Northern, young Ranir decided at an early age
that for one not born to a Bloodline the best path to power and wealth was to
become a Steward. The power, altho subtle, was obvious; the wealth....well, he
figured such could be carefully accumulated without a Holder's knowledge by a
man sly and careful enough. Despite working at several Holds over the turns, he
never had opportunity to be promoted above assistant, despite his obvious
managerial skills. Until the day a note from Nyara caught up with him,
suggesting he consider coming to Dawning Light Minor Hold. Since what the note
didn't say, but implied, appealed to his greed, he left his current post and
caught the first available ship for Southern.
