Kelak Resitir
Appearance
Clad in light, colorful assorted robes which cover his form and hair, Kelak also sports red paint over his features, a staple of his family. Poking out of his headware are two horns, each pierced with various pieces of jewelry. Pieces of armor are intricately laid out both on top of and within his clothing, with each item of defense painted with its very own unique design.
Two scimitar could be found at his hip, religiously cleaned and sharpened without a scratch or dent on their blade or hilt, with a small dagger beside it. A bow was also present, typically pulled behind his back.

Skills and Abilities
Kelak did not simply earn his title of Sword-Dancer by chance, but rather by his talent in dueling. Those who have faced him in combat could testify to the uniquely graceful style of combat he possesses, making any fight seem more like a choreographed performance rather than an encounter of blood and steel. He often combines his talent for the sword with his proficiency at acrobatics to create this dance-like fighting style, employing high maneuverability when facing an opponent.
Another talent of Kelak is his skill for sleight-of-hand, which he often uses in case ends couldn't be met through more legally acceptable means. Either through cheating at games of chance or a simple spur of pickpocketing, it certainly comes into use. As a Komodo, he also possesses their characteristic trait of being able to breathe fire.

Personality
Quick-talking and confident are certainly applicable when describing the Komodo, whose words are likely to set off the more short-tempered among any crowd. It's not uncommon for Kelak to be speaking before accidentally letting out an insult to the wrong person, and to then be immediately dragged into a fight. This isn't intentional, of course, more so a direct result for how his lips have a tendency to run faster than his mind.
Besides his tendency to not stop talking and not think, Kelak is generally amicable to those he meets until he sees reason to act otherwise, and even then he rarely puts on a harsh or angered tone of voice. Instead, he purposefully tries to get under the skin of those he actively dislikes with words and taunts.

Biography & Lore
Born to a roaming caravan of Komodi who often traveled along the border of Alliria and the Reach beyond it, Kelak lived a life tempered by little possessions and many family members. As a child, nearly all of the members took on a parental role towards him, bonded by blood or not. As they traveled, he was taught many things by his family, from the proper techniques for sleight of hand to the ways of the sword as he got older. It was a simple life void of much trouble or hardship, aside from the occasional rowdy animal or underprepared bandit.
Whenever they would venture into town to sell and trade with the locals, they would often set up a small stage to perform for the crowd on. Sword-dancing, acrobatic tricks, and more were shown to the townsfolk, each one captivating and mesmerizing them. Card readings, parlor tricks, to dances, all were done. The displays appearing in front of them kept them delightfully unaware to the actions going on behind them, as the family members not partaking in the direct performance slinked into the crowd and pick pocketed the unsuspecting viewers. It was a routine that worked well, with the caravan always moving too quickly for the crowd to take notice of their lightened coinpurses.
Eventually, though, Kelak found a lust for excitement he couldn't find in the caravan. With a heartfelt goodbye and a promise to meet his family again, he entered the city of Alliria in search of something new.
