Physical Description:
Human with brown, blonde hair with the occasional gray. He has a little bit of a pot belly, and seems to maintain stubble on his face, never quite exerting the effort to finish growing a beard. Despite being a little scruffy-looking, Fafnir is still considered a charmer, famous for his crooked half-smile.

Personality:
Fafnir is kind-hearted, looking out for people first. He considers himself the lady-charmer, a feat of great imagination and a little ego, considering it's been awhile since he's actually been with a lady. he is warm and generous, intelligent and inquistive.

Personal History:
As soon as Fafnir could strike out on his own, he left his "Uncle" Octavius, and began a sailing career that landed him his own small cargo vessel, the Chicoran Belle, and (then) a young librarian named Katya as a bride. They had a son only a year from their honeymoon, and nothing could be better in Fafnir's life.

So, of course, disaster struck.

Cadessi authorities boarded Fafnir's vessel, and discovered the Esani fugitives he was smuggling to Battersea. His ship and son Josh taken from him, he and his wife were imprisioned -- Fafnir at a Cadessi Mine. The only correspondence he received while in prison were divorce papers from Katya -- he probably should have told her about his smuggling career, as noble as it was to help out the occasional Esani running from religious prosecution.

Having served his time, Fafnir put his life back together, cashing in on many favors to purchase the Chicoran Belle II, and started making long trips between Aug and Praxis City -- where he unsuccessfully tried to woo back his ex-wife. Discovering his son had also settled in Praxis, Fafnir found more and more business reasons to visit Praxis -- until a contraband shipment of monstrous spiders escaped, plaguing the colony and still reproducing like rabbits in the sewers.

His new ship impounded, he cashed in his last favor, and invested in the Doom Lounge. Setting up an information network, and later the Red Rum Inn, Fafnir was doing quite well for himself. The surprise appearance of a second son on his doorstep did not even disrupt his life. Curtailing fencing smuggled goods due to Josh being in law enforcement did not cramp his style either -- there is always information to be sold.

Now, Fafnir is doing well, business is prospering (more or less). If only he had someone special to share it all with...

Allies:
The Savage Family (except Katya), The Doom Lounge Regulars, Drystein (former crew member), smuggler Zek Stark, and countless contacts

Enemies:
Former crewmembers, ex-wife Katya Savage, and the occasional rogue, and probably a pirate or two. It's sometimes hard to keep track of all debts owed!

Martial Skills:
Highly skilled with his scimitar.

Magical Skills:
Has a magical ring that prevents thought detection, empathic readings, or just plain lies. Also has an enchanted magical dagger -- comes to his hand when summoned.
