Traits/Quirks (NOTE: if you have a trait that affects you in a very positive way, you must have some sort of weakness to balance it): People quickly are comfortable around Revancus, however, he is often quite introspective and his social relations have been affected. He also has a sense of where to find adventure, however, this has been used against him in the past in order to lure him into a trap.
Weapons:Although highly proficient in unarmed combat he prefers to use a medium length steel sword of unkown orgin that is sheathed in a special scabbard built into his quiver.

History: Unbeknownst to Revancus, as he remembers nothing before waking up on Vvardenfell with ash falling from the sky, he was once given up as a child in order to be trained as an elite warrior. Being an Imperial and having been born under the sign of the Shadow, he was a clear choice to train both as a spy and an assassin, able to infiltrate utilizing his personality skills or through stealth. He was given to a Ka Po' Tun agent as a baby and was taught in the Akavir homeland the way of the warrior. He was well-rounded in all of the warrior skills exceling quickly in the areas of the Blade, Marksman, and Hand-to-hand combat. He was also given instruction in utilizing his inborn ability of the Shadow and his Imperial personality gained him many friends in his youth. However, the Akaviri magic eluded his grasp and he has very little understanding of magic to this day. He was used as a personal assassin to a noble in Akavir but he lost favor with his patron when he refused to kill a fugitive that was innocent. As a result he was forced to flee Akavir for his life, stowing away with some pirates who had been grounded on the Akavir shore. The pirate ship landed In the Northern ports of Skyrim. Revancus gradually drifted south, finding work here and there but never remaining in one place long. He made his way to the Imperial City only to find it embroiled in turmoil. It was here that he met his wife, Natalia. He was not at ease with the manner in which many corrupt Imperial officials would abuse their positions for their own ends. Because of these men, he founded an order known by it's member's as "The Knights of Shadow" of which his wife was a part of. The purpose was to counteract many of these despotic men and ensure justice for the people under their control, all of this done out of the public eye. While intercepting a corrupt tax collector near Valenvaryon, Red Mountain erupted. What happened next is impossible for him to recall. Revancus awoke to find all of his men either dead or missing and no trace of his wife. On top of this, he remembered nothing prior to the eruption other than quick snatches of memory, such as the knowledge that he had a wife. His name he gleaned from a nearby journal which was in his handwriting, however, there was not much in the journal as it had been only started recently. For the next few years he has traveled the ruins of Vvardenfell and the outlying islands attempting to rebuild his past.
Personality and mental status: Considered by many to be quite mad, he is prone to quick bursts of excitement and energy followed by silent contemplation. He has random moments where he is extremely silent and oftentimes sits alone under the stars and merely weeps.
