Phes

Orphaned on the streets of Baldur's Gate, Phes grew up with a bunch of urchins who'd just as quick strip you of your last scrap of food as they would look out for you. He learnt that life is pretty shitty at the bottom of the heap and that gave him the tenacity to ditch his band of urchins and venture forth to seek his own path. He didn't have many friends (due in part to his quick temper), but with the break from city life, Phes has tried to exercise greater control over the primal rage that simmers below his calculating exterior. His newfound faith in Talos has given him some degree of comfort and purpose.

Phes is a street-smart youth and an astute judge of people and of opportunity. Now that he has saved up enough coin for a half decent sword, armour and provisions, he feels drawn to a new path as a Storm Knight of Talos, and now has the means to pursue his destiny.

This dark, scrawny half-elven lad appears battle weary and his bloody eye-socket shows recent evidence of some sort of trauma. His chest is also emblazoned with a large tatoo of the divine symbol of Talos (three lightning bolts converging). Though not much older than a boy, the scruffy boy-knight appears to have seen more than his fair share of brutality so just might be equally handy loading a waggon as he could be in a fight. Somewhat troubling, Phes seems neither concerned about what he left behind in Baldur's Gate, Sharra or what troubles await on the road from the Reaching Woods. It's enough to make you wonder what manner of horrors have plagued his past... or haunt him still.

Members of The Respectable Company know that Phes has sworn an oath of vengeance against those that have harmed or hindered the Company or their loved ones. This debt of honour was incurred at the Company's intervention during a misunderstanding with the Sharra dryad named Shalleafa - a small but significant act of loyalty that made a profound impression on the orphan boy. As a result, the sworn enemies of Phes include:
 * Hiram [the pet necromancer of Aria - Magistrate of Sharra] - For the imprisonment, mistreatment and torture of Sherif [Mazeem 's father], Eldorai [Maura 's mother] and the three pesky priests of Lathander (Paul Piper, Sister Elsbeth and Samuel L. Painson) [Didi 's (relentlessly chanting) wards].

Debts to Diranas, Tatters, Jables and Didi have not yet materialised.
