Description

Bernza is a performer for the Twilight Troupe, he had once had potential as a young up and coming Violinist, for a few years Bernza had a good run with Bargo- otherwise known as the producer- until other promoters began to scout him. 

Bernza was elated and shared the news with Bargo, thanking him for everything he had done for him and made preparations to leave for greener pastures- motivated also by the fact that he had been newlywed to a young woman from Aundair, Celina Nightcrest.

Bargo was not one to let his prospects go, so he hired the house Tarkannan to assassinate Celina with a soul stealing Dagger. Using this newly found leverage Bargo now had a hold on Bernza's life and was forced to work for Bargo in order to earn Celina's life back. Now that Bargo has issued a bounty- with the much desired price of repaying all debts to whomever brings Lyelle back to him- Bernza is now determined to fight for his dear Celina's life no matter the cost.
