I shan't bore you all with useless jabber. It is not within my character to do so. I fail to see why I should identify myself, but if you need it here it is: Lurbe Flummel.
The Assassin's Guide to Klaos Blackadder:
Short and to the (Rather Fatal) Point
Of all the Serpents, Klaos Blackadder would probably be unanimously described as: most clueless.
Klaos's mother,
referred to affectionately as Granny Adder by all her children as
well as others who grew to love her for who she was - which wasn't
much, left him in the care of his father, Keliohans Hobbin, a
renowned ranger. Yet, after the rather untimely death of the late
Hobbin at the hands of a band of roving Kkkappas! (or so they used to
call them), Klaos, his brothers, Karls, and Keli Jr., and his sister
Kina all set out on their own to start a living.
Forced to make a
living for themselves, the youngsters split apart, and Klaos was able
to keep himself alive using his skill at pick-pocketing to make ends
meet. While acquiring his breakfast-fare one day, however, Klaos was
seized by the late, great necromancer, Herr Todd. Impressed, by the
young lad's skill, Herr Todd adopted the boy. Before he set off on
his last adventure across the sea, Herr Todd left Klaos in the care
of the headmasters and headmistresses at Shing Jea Monastery.
While Klaos followed the line of the assassin, his training with Herr
Todd as a young boy left quite an impression on him; he chose to
follow a secondary profession in necromancy. When pressed, he always
reverted back to childhood instincts, which were, of course, of a
necrotic nature, thus he always was equipped with necromancer traits
when he adventured.
His other tribute to his foster-father came in the form of his first
son; rather than, as in his family's long tradition, have his
children share his first initial (K), named his first son Thodd
Klaosski. Thodd, the apple of his father's eye, died at an early age
- kidnapped and held for ransome before he caught pneumonia while
swimming across the channel away from his captors and back home. He
died shortly later, and Klaos never recovered from his loss.
Klaos's second child, he named Bastien Klaosski, which he translated
as "Blessed by God, the son of Klaos". While only a young
child at the time of his older brother's death, Bastien too felt
stung by his absense, and so Klaos adopted Mei Hua, the daughter of
Pai, as his own so that Bastien had someone near his age to adventure
with.
