Appearance: Looks more like a tall Elf then a Tiefling. No horns, no markings normally visible. Long dark hair, generally tied back, with black eyes and light skin..

Height 6 foot
Weight: 130

Hair: Long shoulder length, tied back partially
Facial Hair Style: Goatee, small in size and rather short. Also black in color.
Personality Profile: Secretive and a loaner but intelligent. Has an almost unnatural aversion to halflings. Has a tendency to laugh at other peoples misfortune but will also do the same for his own.
General Health: Average health, no major issues.
Deity: Shar
Initial Alignment: Neutral Evil
Profession: Alchemist(By day)
Base Class & Proposed Development: ((Dms can ask about this))
Habits/Hobbies: A legit interest in Alchemy and can be seen fiddling with it from time to time. That and coin tricks.
Languages: Common,Elven, Abyssal, Infernal,
Weapon of Choice: Rapier/short sword and dagger mostly. Can be seen using a shortbow.
Background: Raised in an outskirt village, just off of a major city, he kept to himself. Being a Tiefling taking its general roll in discrimination towards him and his family. His family did not shy away from what they were however. They embraced it. They consider themselves blessed by Shar. As such, Zaiaku was born learning that Shar was basically his 'mother' and that other Deities of the shadows are akin to 'brothers'. This is just how he was brought up and taught to see it as.
The horns, markings and other tell-tail signs that he and his family are Tiefling, are not to be found upon first glance. However, if one were to take a much closer look, they might find something to define his heritage. The family would explain that in return for concealment of heritage and power, Shar claimed right to the entire family line until the end of nights.
Being an outcast, Zaiaku kept to himself. Buried in a book or a scroll or wandering the forest near his home. A faint scar is left over his left eye, almost invisible now after many years, caused by a run in with a rabid bunny(With the big pointy teeth that can jump so high!) when he was young. After this incident, he took more to being stealthy and using common sense when out in the woods. He developed an almost unnatural dislike of halflings in his years. He has no reason for this other then the fact that he does not like them and tends to insult them when forced to converse with them... Or try to.
Deciding it was time to leave and make his own fortune(And horde!), Zaiaku set off on the first ship heading to Balders Gate with nothing more then a small pack of rations, the leathers on his back and a fist full of saved coin.
Goals: Short version? Money. Lots of it! And not for spending reasons. For some reason, he has a fascination with gold and various pricy things but not necessarily shiny. He wont go after it with reckless abandon however. He has been compared to a dragon and there hoard in this regard.
