Tarquin Wezst, often simply "Tarq", is a thief and rogue active throughout the planes. Often in pursuit of jink and glory, he frequently finds himself embroiled in plane-spanning escapades. A tiefling and a member of the Free League, his sort is not an uncommon sight.
Description
A wiry, whipcord of a tiefling, often leather-bound and cloaked in black, who moves with a silent, springy step. Black hair bound loosely behind his head is flanked by steel-capped, curled horns. Silver rings pierce his septum and tapered ears. Reddish skim a pointed tail and eyes like amber orbs confirm fiendish heritage.
Though he prefers to employ stealth and guile to avoid open combat entirely, Tarquin is an accomplished fencer, favouring a shorter blade or dagger, and is capable of using his trademark whip as if it were an extension of his own arm.
History
The son of the late Paladin William Wezst and his widow Scapegrace, proprietrix of the Dog in a Doublet, a tavern in the city of Bottleneck. Tarquin was raised by his mother as a thief and spy, and worked for her as a pickpocket and messenger, where frequent failure honed his skills as both thief and fighter.
As he grew older, Wezst became increasingly inclined to step out in search of his own fortune. By his twenties, he had accrued a small reputation and an extensive criminal record, which came to a head after month-long caper involving Bottleneck's young Baroness led to his capture. It was during his subsequent escape from prison that he discovered a portal to Sigil, and began his exploits across the planes.
Relationships
Friends/Associates
Athun Cauter
Having shared many adventures with Athun in the first months of his planar career, Tarquin considers Athun a close friend and a go-to choice for when subtlety alone can't solve his problems. Their friendship, while playfully antagonistic, is seemingly immutable.
Poppy Swiftwolf
Tarquin's old flame and former partner in crime, Poppy was another of his early aquaintances on the planes. After a chance encounter in a cursed tomb brought them together, they became partners and found themselves in and out of all sorts of trouble, a relationship which quickly developed into a short but powerful tryst.
Xin
These two tieflings have a lot in common beyond their heritage. They share a knack for cunning and stealth, and a love of jink and bub, though in differing amounts. Tarquin sees Xin as a sister and always has her back.
Tiriana
A lot is said about Tarquin and this dimernesti. All that's true for certain though is a number of mutual interests have turned them into very good friends. Whether this friendship is brought by jink, good looks, or something else entirely, however, remains to be seen.
Di'nakuur
Tarquin gets a thrill out of having this Mercykiller sniffing about his business. Through neccessity and perhaps a even twisted form of mutual respect, the two share a dysfunctional bond, owed in part to occasionally aligning interests.
Aria
If not for this mindnick, Tarquin might not be alive. A powerful psionic, Aria's skills brought him back from the brink on many of his early escapades. Nowadays she uses her knack for stealth to keep him on his toes.
Arca Novem
As one of Arca's first acquaintances in The Cage, it was Tarquin introduced her to the nuances of Sigil's cross-trade and advised her against its many pitfalls. Since then, they have worked together on a number of schemes, and more importantly became close friends.
