Morran Blackblood Human bard/cleric of Erythnul Morran was yet another bored young man in the village where he grew up. He worked in his father's shop during the day and would go out at night with his crew and haunt the local taverns and back-alleys. He's a thin and pale young man with devilish blue eyes and jet black hair that hangs past his shoulders. Morran is very clever (maybe too clever for his own good) and quite dashing, in his own sinister-yet-alluring way. He loves playing to an audience and will play at a moment's notice - most often when bored or vexed by some setback. He rarely confronts people head on, preferring his lackeys to do his dirty work for him. Here are three different versions of Morran to use in your own campaign. One as a young and up-and-coming musician, then as a musical superstar and lastly as a cult leader and a follower of dark gods. Morran is the eldest son of a shoemaker in his village but has no plans to follow in his father's footsteps. He would much rather stay out all night with his friends, playing music, drinking and carousing with the lovelies. Here he is as a struggling, albeit talented young bard.

He was able to buy a vintage violin from a collector in the City and has even played at the more upscale locales there. He's travelled a bit and has been dabbling in the occult, hungry for power and knowledge. Morran has given himself the ominous surname "Blackblood" and he tours with a troupe of musicians under the banner of his new identity.

At this point, Morran is a huge influence over the youth of several towns and cities. They regularly attend his shows and naturally, the elders are quite unhappy about this - going so far as banning his concerts and setting up curfews. Still, Morran's followers have organized themselves into a gang of sorts (all dressed in shiny black leather studded with sharp steel spiked) and have dubbed themselves "The Blackblood Tears." Morran himself has now jumped headfirst into the worship of demons and evil gods and has begun training as a cleric of Erythnul, the God of Slaughter.
