Background:
The beginning
Rigel Callahan comes from Athkatla, the capitol of Amn. Like most aasimars, although rarely noticed as such, he never felt at home in a human society. The friends he got was either in bad company, got themselves into bad company or they would eventually become the victim of... bad company (if not several).

- Neutral Good
He grew up in the city with his parents. As a single child, he had very strong bonds to both of them. They didn't have much money, but they were always able to get by somehow, his father working to repair boats, and his mother repairing clothes. When his parents eventually got sick, it was up to Rigel to repair their health and to keep their fragile economy stable. Rigel stayed with his parents until they both died of old age. Rigel was then sixty years old.

- Natural Neutral
Although Rigel had great love for both of his parents, the final year he spent with them was tough, both emotional and physically strenuous. This left him somewhat jaded towards the world and to his friends. His childhood friends had turned sixty years old, which meant that they were growing old, unlike Rigel who might live another thousand years. Knowing what effect the death of his parents had on him, Rigel left Athkatla before any of his friends would become so crippled that they would rely on his help to get by. After five years of random travel, he reached Nashkel and settled down for a while.

- Lawful Neutral
After he had reached Nashkel, he met a few monks from the Order of the Shining Hand. Having gone through some tough times in Athkatla, Rigel already knew how to defend himself, but he was hoping to become even better by joining the order. Besides, a secluded monastery was exactly what he needed. The monastery demanded tough discipline from Rigel, something he eventually grew accustomed to. He went through hard physical training as well as study of the arcane art. During his time there, he was able to awaken some dormant arcane potential he had never known about. He had become a sorcerer.

Rigel spent ten years in the order of the Shining Hand.

Now...
As Rigel began to feel that he had achieved control over his own life, he again ventured out on his own. This time, towards Baldur's Gate.

Will the new adventure give him a greater feeling of self-control, or will the world try to crush him?

Goals:
The feeling of helplessness when facing death is something one should not have to overcome by simply accepting the world as it is. One should instead chase immortality, first for yourself, and then for others.. maybe.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
*Rigel wishes to seek out knowledge at the Candlekeep Halls to find the key to immortality.
*He is willing to go very far (as he might become a Pale Master to achieve his goal).
