Nellens Dharos

Dharos was born to a patrician family, and grew up as a simple merchant’s son. Even then, however, he was not a kind boy, and while he had a few friends, he survived as much by threats and sneakery than anything else. His parents doted on him, and he framed his siblings for various minor thefts and the like to keep himself the perfect child in their eyes.

When he Exalted, Dharos considered it a benediction; his siblings were less impressed. When he was taken by House Nellens, he was less amused. Now, he tries to ascend through the house, discovering that the things that he expected to guarantee his victory are being held against him. Dharos has little loyalty to his house, and much to himself. A skilled scout and assassin, he is also a spy by nature, and House Nellens uses him as such, little suspecting his allegiance to the All-Seeing Eye.

Description

Dharos is wiry but strong, having graduated from the House of Bells. He wears simple dark clothes, and often it is hard to tell that he is an Exalt at all. When he grows angry, however, the boundless sea is reflected in his eyes, and his voice takes on an echo of the surf.
