Vesryn Tes'arl
The reasons for this have long ago been forgotten by most, kept only by the Elders of Fal'Addas, and even they shroud the truth from those who ask. Vesryn and his companions are outcasts, Elves who have over the centuries become twisted mockeries of their once grand species as a result of their own hubris and ambition.
Their skin has been blackened, their hair bleached, and their eyes twisted to gold.
Vesryn is a creature of deep hatred and determination. He sees other species, even his fellow elves, as little more than fodder for his own goals. His allies are tools to get him what he wants, even men who have served him for decades. The only beings he truly respects are those who joined him in the initial break from their kin. Though they are few in number, the other El'eth Surrah are among the few whom Vesryn will heed.
A being of ancient grudges and old hatred, Vesryn is purely motivated by ambitions that were birthed in a time of war and destruction. He and his companions see other species as a threat to the survival of Arethil, believing the destructive nature of Humanity, the industry of Dwarves, and the flaws of other races to be a lynch pin that will ultimately bring the world to ruin.
Vesryn and the El'eth Surrah believe that only through them the world can achieve harmony, by whatever means that takes.
