Description
Alexander wasn't always a bandit captain. That came later—after Eurydice.
He was a genuine ranger once, a protector of the borderlands between civilization and wilderness. Then he met her in a tavern in Waterdeep: Eurydice, a Tiefling rogue with violet eyes and a crooked smile that made him forget why he'd ever preferred the solitude of the forests. For a year, they were inseparable. She taught him the art of deception and quick movement through crowds; he showed her the beauty of a sunrise over untamed lands.
But the life of a rogue and the life of a ranger don't blend well. She vanished one morning, leaving only a note: *"I'm sorry. This isn't the life I was meant to live."* Alexander spent weeks tracking her, using every skill at his disposal, only to learn she'd taken on work with a crew of thieves headed toward the Golden Vault.
The pain of abandonment twisted something in him. When the opportunity arose to lead a crew of outlaws, Alexander took it—telling himself it was a way to stay informed, to perhaps find Eurydice again. But the power of command suited him in ways he didn't expect, and the line between good ranger and ambitious captain blurred.
