Harkness, the Half-elf Swashbuckler

Harkness, known by his friends as Hawk, was born amidst great family drama and political despair, as is often the case among half-breeds.  Born of a Wood-elf mother, Harkness is the Bastard son of Lord Sebastion Blake of Raven's Bluff.  He is half-brother to Sebastion the III.  The truth of his heritage is known to few.

Harkness was taken from his wooded homeland at age six, to be raised in Dagger Keep by the royal attending staff, under his father's watchful eye.  A mere six years later, he ran from home, never content with castle life, and stole passage aboard a ship headed to the unknown.  He possessed but a dagger belonged to his father, the royal linens on his back, which he traded for common traveler's apparel, and a sack containing eleven silver crowns.

He survived the three-week trip, hiding in the lower decks and eating barrel wood mostly, and mice, to arrive at the sea capital of Yartar, on the Sword Coast of Fae-run.  Six more years in this unforgiving city has turned Harkness into one rugged, lucky and stubborn son of a bitch!  And his walk matches his talk..
