Icons from the Fallout franchise.
═════════════════════════════════
► AN INFERNAL CONTRACT
A deal with a devil.
One of two copies.
► DIRTY FIGHTER
Some people are compelled to fight with honour. Fortunately, Toreth has no such compunctions.► HEDONIST
Pleasure-seeker, epicurean, connoisseur of the finer things in life... There's nothing wrong with a little indulgence now and then – and nothing more right than a great deal of indulgence, all the time.
Occasionally, when circumstances permit, he will even indulge in an Exaltation. Whatever that means.

Idle Rich
The sole surviving heir to his family's estate, Toreth came into copious amounts of money after his parents' unexpected and unexplained deaths (bless their souls).
Chronic Indigestion
A stomach that quite literally rumbles in protest whenever Toreth consumes anything that isn't meat -- which, given his sweet tooth, is quite often. It's the sort of peculiarity that might bother someone more inclined to feel shame --or sane-- but as it stands, Toreth just pats his belly with a cheery "Hush now, we're among company" whenever it gets rowdy.
Magically Ignorant
Unlike many of his peers back home who discovered their arcane abilities early on, Toreth has never demonstrated any magical talent (nor any interest in studying magic). As such, he's always had a chip on his shoulder regarding the whole sorcery shebang.
Attributes
═════════════════════════════════════════
Strength: Medium
Lean and athletic by nature, Toreth has all but squandered any serious physical potential on a lifestyle of bacchanalian excess.
Dexterity: High
Years of party tricks and esoteric opium preparation (see: Chandu) have cultivated a greater degree of finesse.
Constitution: High
While Toreth feels pain and suffers injury as all living creatures do, certain... contingencies have been established in the event that something truly inconvenient, like dying, occurs.
(See "An Infernal Contract" above for more details.)
Intelligence: Medium
Quick on his feet, but a lazy thinker. Aware, but inattentive.
Willpower: Low
Why resist temptation when you can yield to it?
Wisdom: Low
...He made a deal with a devil. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON MAKES A DEAL WITH A DEVIL?
Possessions
═════════════════════════════════════════
WeaponsFlintlock Pistol - A loud, accurate, slow-firing pistol which operates through some arcane combination of magic and gunpowder. Toreth doesn't care enough to find out how it works; he just likes that it works. Looted off a dead sailor several years back. STOLEN. Blackened Stiletto Knife- A simple, silver stiletto coated with a black finish to prevent it from glinting in the light. He keeps it with him at all times.STOLEN. " Thunderclap" Bombs- (In short: Ye Olde tear gas.) Two fist-sized firecrackers wrapped in paper and filled with lime and sulphur. Upon landing in water, they explode with a mighty crack and scatter their contents, generating thick clouds of irritant smoke and blinding everyone present.
Incarnadine Opium PipeThe bestest friend a boy could have. A long, thin wooden pipe the colour of redwood, perpetually packed with strained opium (see: Chandu).
A Slim, Black LedgerPossibly the only writing he's done in about a decade. Although the first few pages seem to suggest a haphazard attempt at documenting the author's finances and recent investments, the content soon deteriorates into drunken ramblings and opioid-induced poetry, with the occasional note on esoteric opium preparation and, mysteriously, a concise, uncharacteristically-meticulous piece of documentation that details all of the steps involved in an "Exaltation". Whatever that means.
