Knives” Corbin Drae - The Criminal/Spy

Name: “Knives” Corbin Drae
Race: Half-Orc
Class/Role: Level 9 Rogue (Assassin)
Appearance: Corbin Drae is lean and lithe, not the brute you'd expect from a half-orc, with rough gray-green skin and sunken, calculating eyes. His black hair is shaved at the sides and tied into a tight knot, revealing a twisted set of tattoos that crawl from his collarbone up his throat — symbols of past contracts. His leather armor is matte, lined with secret pockets and concealed throwing blades. A smirk rarely touches his lips, but when it does, it means someone’s about to bleed.

Backstory

Corbin was raised in the shadows of the Emberfall, trained from a young age by a guild of smugglers and spies who served mercenary houses and noble blackmailers. Known in whispers as “Knives,” he rose through the ranks not by strength, but by surgical precision — and by turning in rivals before they could betray him first. Now operating freelance, he sells his services as an informant, infiltrator, and wet work specialist. He maintains multiple false identities across Veridya, from Sapphire Cove to the Nightshade Thicket. Corbin may be working for your enemy — or watching your party right now under another face.
