I had a Crescent character in first ed would probably have gotten on very well with Marsi. He claimed to be an exiled prince, his kingdom overtaken by his villainous uncle, who was also vizier to his noble father. He also claimed to be fleeing from assassins, until he was able to recruit heros to help him regain his throne.<br/><br/>He claimed quite a lot of things :) Some of them may even have been true.<br/><br/>He also had a syrneth artifact. You boiled water in it, and out came<em>kaf</em>instead :)<br/><br/>And a large white horse. Very intelligent. Probably more so than he was at times :)<br/><br/>Marsi would like him :)
