Akkos

Akkos Ryn- Human Sorcerer- Played by Matthew

OVERVIEW Akkos Ryn is the youngest child of Markov and Serena Ryn, who were the lords of Illian, an important city of trade and politics. Born during the vicious dying throes of the Pestilence, he was among the fortunate, immune to the great plague, along with his twin sister, Arra. At birth, both seemed.. corrupted.. by the Pestilence. Despite this, however, Akkos survived, and many hoped he would be a fine lord. However, at his third name-day, plague knights stormed Rynhold, and his father, the great lord Markov Ryn, threw him out the window. Collected and brought up by an elderly serving maid of Rynhold, Akkos left to seek his fortune with a group of alchemists who were attempting to stop the Pestilence as a young boy. There, he was apprenticed to a dwarf called Deriq Embershard. Quiet and fearful of others, Akkos demonstrated significant knowlege of the arcane. Over time, he and Deriq became good friends, with the dwarf always the cautious one, and Akkos being more adventurous. The guild of alchemists disbanded after the Pestilence was cured, but Akkos stayed with Deriq mainly because he didn't have anything better to do.

DESCRIPTION

Of no imposing height, Akkos has short black hair, and piercing green eyes. Although his looks are generally nondescript, and he does not wear any clothing that would seem out of place, something about him seems.. off.. to many people. However, upon meeting him, any suspicion instantly vanishes. Truly, Akkos, as the common folk might say, can "Talk his way out of a sealed vault". Charming and interesting, when Akkos truly does speak, people leap to obey. Not often does he speak, however- normally he keeps behind his drab green cloak and listens. Though Akkos isn't usually one to make many friends, Deriq Embershard is an exception. The two work well together, with Deriq handling most exchanges, and Akkos, if necessary, stepping in to help with some diplomatic occasions. Above all, Akkos wants to vanquish the plague knights that took his ancestral home from him, find out what happened to his sister, and reconquer Rynhold.
