Appearance
He has bright red hair, and a well kept beard, with green eyes that shine with constant mirth. His magincian accent is still fairly strong, and his smile is lazy and (hopefull) charming. A lithe build, not overly built - obviously coming from a life of affluence, and soft hands make the ladies swoon (usually). Hes fond of good wine, pretty bards, a good match of darts, and a properly cooked potato. Around mid 20's, because, isnt everyone in Sosaria?
History
Born into a upper middle class family in Magincia, he soon lost interest in the various dinners and silly parties his parents would throw for their upper crust peers. He was far more happy to...entertain the daughters of the visitors in the gardens outside his family's home. Jaded from the start, and being the second in line of sucession, he realized ealy on he was either destined for a life in the church, or the military. Neither of these sounded appealing. So, absconding with a sizeable amount of mommy's jewelery, he made of like a thief in the night, chartering a ship out to Trinsic and then to Skara. The rustic life he far more enjoyed than his posh past. He learned how to handle a knife, and found an exotic one, the Balisong (butterfly knife) to his liking, being the dextrous type. Well read, educated and with an artist's eye for replication, he found his services as a forger to be in high demand in a permit-ridden Trinsic. Currently he has papers passing himself off as some kind of high ranking diplomat of the king, exempting him from taxes and fees, enabliong him to carry weapons, etc. All in all, he's had a good run.
Faust found him in Trinsic and the two hit it off, even if Alan was a bit preppy for Dirk's taste, he could still drink and carouse with the best of them! He finds his new life as a man living outside the law to be most entertaining, certainly better than being a abbey monk or some rubbish!
Role
He hopes to prove to the Caste that his abilities in forgery, slinking about and dagger play will earn him respect if not fear among his rogueish bretheren.
Personality
Alergic to bee stings, deathly afraid of snakes (blame Magincia's fauna). Not afraid to intimidate or inflict some modicum of pain to get a point across, though he preferes the more subtle interpersonal approach over pokers and thumbskrews. After all, why do a job sombody else no doubt enjoys...
