Septimus
Recruitable Rogue
About
SEPTIMUS PROFILE Age: 25 Role: Recruitable Rogue Class: Rogue Weapon: Daggers Weapon Proficiency: Sword BACKGROUND Septimus is a wandering thief and opportunistic Rogue who appears during the early stages of the Original Campaign while the Three Lord Maidens are reclaiming a fortress or occupied settlement from bandits and hostile forces. Rather than fighting alongside either side, he initially takes advantage of the confusion to slip through restricted areas, loot abandoned storerooms, and help himself to valuables before anyone notices. If discovered, he avoids direct confrontation whenever possible, preferring excuses, misdirection, quick movement, and shameless confidence over an unnecessary fight. PERSONALITY Cocky, mischievous, sarcastic, street-smart, and highly adaptable, Septimus carries himself like someone convinced he can talk or sneak his way out of almost any problem. He enjoys teasing people, bending rules, and acting as though dangerous situations are merely inconveniences. His confidence can sometimes become smugness, especially when demonstrating skills that more honorable soldiers would consider improper. Despite his questionable habits, Septimus possesses a much softer and more loyal side than his first impression suggests. Once he genuinely accepts someone as a friend, he becomes surprisingly dependable and will take risks for them that contradict his supposed philosophy of always looking after himself first. ROGUE SKILLS As a Rogue, Septimus is experienced with infiltration, lockpicking, scouting, traps, theft, and moving through places where he is not supposed to be. He fights primarily with daggers, which fall under Sword proficiency within the class system. His combat style favors speed, precision, ambushes, and opportunistic strikes rather than prolonged frontline combat. RECRUITMENT Recruiting Septimus is not automatic. If confronted normally, he is more likely to bargain for his freedom or attempt to disappear once attention shifts elsewhere. He can instead be convinced to join through payment, appealing to his practical interests and promising more profitable opportunities with the growing army. RIAN RECRUITMENT A second recruitment method becomes available if Rian is present. The two knew each other during childhood, and Rian can confront Septimus directly about what he has become. Their shared history allows Rian to see through much of Septimus' bravado and persuade him to stop running from responsibility, resulting in a more personal version of his recruitment. APPEARANCE Septimus is a lean, agile young man with golden-blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a faint self-assured smile. His posture is relaxed and light on his feet, often appearing as though he is already halfway through deciding where his nearest escape route is. He wears practical rogue attire consisting of a muted blue-violet tunic, layered leather protection, an asymmetric shoulder guard, crossing harnesses, multiple belts, utility pouches, and a broad sash around the waist. Loose tan trousers, reinforced boots, light knee protection, concealed tools, and several small daggers complete his equipment. SIGNIFICANCE Septimus begins as someone profiting from the chaos of war. Depending on how he is recruited, his journey can gradually reveal that the carefree thief is considerably more capable of loyalty than he wants anyone to believe.
