Orias Maveroth

Backstory
Orias Maveroth, a scholar at Blackstaff Tower in Waterdeep studying the arcane arts, particularly those of the Sharn and other aberrant magical beings. He grew up in a small integrated neighborhood in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep where he would hear stories of fantastic magics from old travelers and adventurers of the realms. Thus his interest in magic and the world was sparked, propelling him to the prestigious Blackstaff Tower academic ward, cataloging various magical instances and encounters in need of explanation or with otherworldly connections.

Often chided for his demonic ancestry and interest in arcana by his colleagues, his interest in magic and the world was beyond the predatory pacts of his ancestry and devoted his studies to extra-planar beings and magic beyond the typical divide of fey and demon. Plumbing the ancient texts of the institute, Orias found a means of summoning an unknown being from the Outer Realms and in a quest for transcendental knowledge of the beyond, Orias made a pact to become a warlock, unbeknownst to his colleagues.

Growing increasingly frustrated with the institute and wary of being found out and dismissed, Orias opted for a self imposed travel study mission to seek out dying circles of worship and forgotten gods as a means to distance himself from academia while continuing his lifes work.

Appearance
Unbeknownst to most outsiders, there exists a community of unique tieflings within Waterdeep descended from yugoloth fiends as opposed to more typical demonic fiends. This gives the tieflings of Waterdeep some unique features ranging from green skin, pupil-less yellow eyes, lupine features, and the unfortunately and often shunned insectoid features. Being of this lineage, Orias sports stout stag-like antlers ( "One of my ancestors must have made it with Beshaba"), digitigrade legs, a rodent-like tail, and sleek black fur over the back sides of his body.

Personality
Often aloof and charismatic with a tendency towards being somewhat distant. He seeks to relinquish the most productive series of events no matter what, and often for himself. Can improvise brilliantly within a framework, but becomes very uncoordinated when caught off guard. He is easily distracted and perhaps too curious. He believes actions and events speak louder than words or men. He thinks chaos can be known. He thinks a good meal has more to do with time and place than anything else. He thinks the world is too lonely a place to not spend it with someone else from time to time.
