Talryn

Talryn is the leader of the Tarnished Coin Troupe. He is a half elf urchin that grew up on the streets of the Perch Shadow. He has a talent for tinkering which has given the group a more competitive edge among the criminal gangs from the Perch Shadow. He is currently in a romantic relationship with Rosalind Songsteel.

Appearance
Talryn is a half-elven man with charcoal black hair and unnaturally pale skin. His facial features are more human than elven, but his pointed ears give away his mixed heritage. He stands at 6 feet tall and has a lithe build. He has one visible scar running from his left ear to his jaw.

Talryn most often wears simple black studded leather armor, hidden under layers of dark clothing. He wears two guns holstered on his hips, one of them usually fairly visible.

Personality
Talryn is reserved around strangers. He prefers to observe interactions and speak very little. He can come across as unpleasant due to this distance. However once he gets to know someone, he can be pleasant company, showing maturity and quite the measure of empathy.

Talryn grew up despising the upper class and has a hard time being polite when dealing with them. He does not believe they deserve his respect simply for being born into better circumstances and will often be outright hostile. This however is not the case with Rosalind Songsteel who he shows a great deal of affection for, and more recently Lydia Starguard who earned his respect.

Early Life
Talryn does not recall who his parents were. He is simply aware that he grew up on the streets of the Dellsjon terriroty, usually sleeping by the backdoors to smithies due to the warmth. He got by through begging and later on doing odd jobs in tinkering workshops. This is where his initial skills with tinkering developed.

A set of unfortunate circumstances however resulted in him retreating to the Perch Shadow, which he surprisingly found easy to navigate. His skills and personality quickly came in handy and he dipped his fingers into the criminal world of Okone's Perch. Eventually, he and a few others started up the Tarnished Coin Troupe.

Flowers for the Songsteels
Talryn was first encountered by Lydia Starguard when she was brought to the Tarnished Coin's hideout in the Perch Shadow to be reunited with Rosalind Songsteel. He was not pleased to find a House member in the den and kept a reserved approach.
