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 whipcord of a man, leather-bound and cloaked in black. He moved eerily like a cat, and made no more noise.
Though he prefers to employ stealth and guile over open combat, Tarquin is an accomplished fencer, favouring a slim falchion and dagger, and is also capable of using his trademark whip as if it were an extension of his arm.
History
The son of the master thief 'Scapegrace' and her late husband, Tarquin was raised in Greyhawk. the City of Thieves. Here, his mother owns The Dog in a Doublet, a tavern from which she ran a modest criminal enterprise. This was the setting of his formative years, working for his mother as a pickpocket and courier, and honing his skills as both a thief and a fighter.
Relationships
Friends/Associates
Elan Siannodel
A passionate warrior monk, Tarquin's first encounter with Elan was a chance one, yet their chemistry was undeniable. What started as a playful friendship eventually became something more, and are now an inseparable, if unlikely, couple.
Felix Stareyes
It's possible that no two individuals have become such fast friends as Wezst and Stareyes, and it's not hard to see why, both share a mutual love of women, drinking, adventure, gambling, and brawling, and a seldom fussy as to whom they hire their skills.
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 humorously antagonistic, is seemingly immutable.
Poppy Swiftwolf
Tarquin's old flame and former partner in crime, Poppy was another of his early acquaintances 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
Two names often uttered in the same breath, these two tieflings have much in common beyond their heritage. They share a knack for cunning and stealth, and a love of jink and bub, though in differing amounts, and are together associated with many a tale of derring-do.

Cavi Smugbucket
Now and then, a rogue needs a wildcard, and for Tarquin, that wildcard is none other than Cavi. She is utterly unpredictable and prone to random acts of either charity or violence, yet he nevertheless considers her a close friend.
Tiriana of Krynn
A lot has been said about Tarquin and this dimernesti. All that's true for certain is that their shared desire for jink and adventure eventually turned into a firey romance. Recent chant suggests that their love affair came to a close after a stint as Sword Coast pirates in a commandeered sloop ended in a bitter argument, exactly what the argument was about, remains unknown.
Di'nakuur
Tarquin gets a thrill out of having this Mercykiller sniffing about his business. Through necessity and perhaps even a 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 who introduced her to the nuances of Sigil's cross-trade and advised her against its many pitfalls. They have worked together on many schemes, and for a long time, were close friends.
Anasthia Vesk
Time has made constant allies of Tarquin and Anasthia. Once mere associates, they have frequently found themselves backed against the same wall, and are near the top of each other's list of reliable friends.
