He keeps his hood low, his mask higher, and his past locked behind both. I saw the truth in his eyes long before he admitted anything. There is something about him, something inherited or burnt into his blood, and when wings tore from his back during our fight with [[Sparkrender]] it only confirmed what I already knew. Kalis is not hiding a trick. He is hiding who he is, and he has good reason to do it. Considering hiding, he once spoke of a thieves’ guilds only to deny every detail. He speaks of “his people” only to shut down the moment you ask who they are. Whatever kingdom he fled, whatever purge or genocide shaped him, it carved silence into him as surely as a scar. Even his connection to [[Traxis]] tells a story he refuses to speak. Traxis vanished without warning and Kalis reappeared the same day, giving us no explanation and expecting none. Some men hide secrets. Kalis hides history. What is seen in the preset though, is that on the battlefield he becomes someone else entirely. The quiet man turns into a weapon of calculation, placing arrows and blades exactly where they need to be. I watched him fight [[Langdedrosa Cyanwrath]] outside [[Greenest]], a duel that should have crushed him outright. Instead he adapted, shifted, and struck back with a rising blow that put the dragonborn on the ground. He spared Cyanwrath... Mercy came easier to him than answers apparently. The cult fled soon after, all under the eye of a [[MYSTERIOUS WOMAN]] none of us have figured out. An important thing to note that I'm sure none in our party care to remember is that "***Kalis hoards gold***" with the instinct of someone who once starved... but- he shares it out according to a logic that makes sense only to him, so it's not all bad. He sleeps lightly, trusts rarely, and dresses like he intends to blend into every shadow from here to [[Waterdeep]]. After a while we stopped questioning it. Some people break under scrutiny. Kalis just closes the door and waits for you to walk away. Whatever he fled, whatever he fears, none of that changes what matters. When blades are out and the ground shakes, he is there with the rest of us. He does not miss. He does not hesitate. And even if trust comes slowly for him, he keeps choosing to stand with us. For a man who has spent most of his life running, that choice counts for more than anything he refuses to say, and I can speak to that on experience. #### UNKNOWNS: - The reality of his Thieves Guild connection - The identity and situation of his “people”- who they are, what cause he supports, and why? - His origins- where he’s from, how old he is, and what he was before this journey?
