Jonath

Jonath Umbra, born Jonath of Patmos in the year 452, is a low-ranking member of the Thieves guild of Sable, supplicant to Silvanus, and husband to Omisha Umbra.

Known mockingly by the smallfolk as "The Femme Boy Fatale," Jonath is best known for his feminine clothing and mannerisms, along with his jovial and friendly nature.

Appearance and character

Standing almost six feet tall, Jonath is a human of lithe and nimble stature. His deep-black hair flows down to a few inches above his shoulders, and at least three women are known to have fallen in love with his sapphire blue eyes. Jonath is known for incorporating women's clothing heavily into his look, and can often be seen sporting stockings or a miniskirt alongside a pair of legs shaved smooth. Like most ebons, Jonath prefers wielding two bladed weapons in combat. His affinity for purples and blacks extends from his clothing to his weapons and armor.

Known for being overtly friendly — if a bit much at times — Jonath has earned a reputation for his soft-spoken kindness, generosity, and passionate need to see the good in everyone.

Ethos

Jonath follows the chaos harmonic primarily, and considers himself to be a good person. He has a deep distrust of institutions of order, which he freely professes are almost always harmful systems of control. He values his freedom more than his own life.

Not one to quibble over matters of morality, Jonath is known for fraternizing with members of churches that many Silvanites traditionally avoid. He calls the Bastite and Psion guild member Draephor his best friend.

History

Early life

Born to Geyne and Kaitlan in the rural farm workers community known by locals as Patmos, Jonath spent his early years working the fields as children of farm workers do. In the year 469, his local lord called the banners and sent all healthy young men off to war in a regional dispute. Jonath served six months as an infantry spearman, marching and fighting in his lord's army equipped with not much more than a long sharpened stick.

Jonath returned to farming life in the year 470. In Patmos, he remained the only young man from his generation to have never taken a wife nor fathered children. Jonath would not leave farming life until an as-of-yet unknown occurrence pushed him to adventuring and the town of Sable in the year 510.

Adventurer

Jonath earned his membership to the Sablean chapter of the Adventurers Guild, followed by full membership to the Thieves guild, in the year 510. He was personally admitted to the guild by Rilthyn De'Tast, Prince of Bastards, and soon after mentored by Ajin Atura, the Shadow Dancer.

Initially an apostate, Jonath was briefly accused of heresy and atheism by adventurers Eidenhoek and Praem. This further soured his opinion of religion until Draephor introduced Jonath to Omisha Umbra, the Macabre Bard. After sharing her faith with Jonath, his view of the aether underwent a change that eventually led him to supplicate to Silvanus shortly after the Divine Audience of 513.

Omisha and Jonath went on to fall in love, and were engaged to be married the same year. They were joined together Tempest 22 of the year 514 in a ceremony officiated by Deokoria Ventris, Matriarch of Gethsemane. Jonath's supplication to Silvanus concluded with a ceremony welcoming him as a full member of the faith Serenus 5, 514.

Power and influence

Jonath is of low stature among adventurers and within his guild. He is of the lowest rank in the Silvanite faith.

He is known to have earned a Traveler's Belt at least, and favors exotic and rare blades in his sword hand — practically refusing to be seen wielding anything less, and every one razor sharpened by an extremely adept metalsmith.

His wealth is vast enough to afford him the opportunity to own prime residential property inside Thrace's walls, though he owes fealty to the Kingdom of Sable.
