"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art,
those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."
― Albert Camus

|BRIEF HISTORY|
Born in an isolated town in Northern Kara-Tur, An Zhe was trained from an early age to fulfill the various duties of a Spirit Monk. At age nine, he was captured by slavers and taken to the mainland, where he'd then killed one of his captors and escaped into the city. He learned to speak the local language, and adopted an alias for himself that would better suit his new environment -- thus, "Angelo" was born.

|SKILLS AND MASTERIES|
As a Spirit Monk, Angelo is capable of communicating with the dead -- often viewing them as ghostly apparitions of their former, physical selves, and speaking to them as he would any other living creature. He's also able to heal faster and more completely than ordinary humans. He is extremely proficient with throwing knives, and it seems to be his weapon of choice -- though he's also trained in the use of bows, swords, and sabres.

Unknown; likely deceased?

Middle-class; Rogue's salary.
|SIBLINGS|
None that he's aware of.
|CHILDREN|
Hopefully, none.
|EDUCATION|
He received a fairly comprehensive education in his early years, meant to sculpt him into a dutiful Spirit Monk: knife handling, swordplay, arithmetic, history, religion, and philosophy, to name a few. After his arrival on the mainland, Angelo began to receive a more practical education, studying people rather than knives or books.
|OCCUPATION|
Mercenary; bounty hunter; currently looking for employment.

|PERSONALITY|
Angelo is, by his own account, apparently well known among anyone who is "worth knowing", both as a daring rogue and as a dashing rake. While the story sounds impressive, Angelo seems more hapless than debonair; more awkward affability than silver-tongued charm. Still, he wears it well: the man seems aware that his approachable, good-natured demeanor makes him generally agreeable with everyone he meets.
|ALIGNMENT|
Chaotic Neutral.
|STABILITY|
His personality is fairly stable. No sudden rampaging psychoses here, doctor.
|EXPRESSIVENESS|
Angelo is fairly open when it comes to positive emotions, though he does restrain most -- if not all -- of the negative ones.
|PRIORITIES|
Self-serving, though he does abide by a personal code of honour. He's certainly not the ideal Spirit Monk his mentors would have liked him to be.
