Name: Marco Drake
Age: 25
Race: Human
Height: 6’2
Weight:160
Occupation: Smuggler/thief

Personality: Savvy and cleve, Marco is too clever by a half. His experience and youth make him cocky, though naive in his view of the world and himself.

History: Marco grew up the son of a trader in Knife’s Edge. He saw the best and the worst of people coming up and down the river. His family was never poor, but they never achieved the riches his father dreamed of. He grew up among many other poor children, and learned from a young age the value of under the table dealings.

By the time he was in his teens, Marco had his own small empire of urchins working for his smuggling ring. He ran a number of illegal goods into and out of the city, and made sure that the government never saw a rat cent of it.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t as good a smuggler as he thought he was. The last deal he made was with an undercover officer. Like a hailstorm, they descended on his operation, armed to the teeth and far better trained than his ramshackle crew.

Luckily for him, however, a ship of his was in the harbor, the last remains of his stolen cargo still on board. Following the river to the ocean, He set sail for Scara Brae, planning on dropping his cargo and starting fresh somewhere else.

Appearance: While tall, Marco is scrawny and frail. Almost no fat is on his body, but he lacks almost all muscle.

He has well kept auburn hair, framing a square jaw and handsome face. His dark brown eyes squint from years in the sun. Most of his body is tanned a pleasant golden brown from his time in the sun.

Skills: Barter
Stealth
Sailing

Abilities:
Vanishing act: Marco can sense problems coming and is always ready to run. With enough warning, Marco can slip away into a crowd, down an alley, or seemingly into the thin air.

Tactical Archery: Marco takes time to line up a shot from his crossbow, aiming for the leg. It’s a hard shot to make, but slows people down.
Equipment/Weapons:
A set of nice clothing (buttoned up doublet, cloth pants, leather shoes)
A crossbow and bolts.
A small dagger, carried inside his shirt.

Approved, be careful with the vagueness of the stealth.
