Name: Ramius Kastagir, Former Master Bard bard of Waterdeep
Age: 175
Race: Human, vampire
Class: Bard/Rogue/Duelist

Appearance: Ramius appears at a first glance to be a rather handsome man in his early to mid 50's. His thinning black hair has notable gray streaks on the temples and it extends down to his shoulders. Though his facial features are effeminate enough to someone concider him to be 'pretty' the man has a sort of predatory look to him, the sickly pale skin does no favours for him either.

Dominate: As a vampire Ramius can control weaker willed people or creatures to do his bidding.
Children of the Night: Ramius can summon a pack of wolves to aid him in combat.
Skills: Perform, diplomacy, bluff, lore, detect traps, sneak/move silently
Personality: Ramius does his very best to remain affable and polite even under pressure, his years of experience as a bard have given him a rather weird sense of humor. Under all the jests and polite ribbing however lies a cold and calculating mind that's in the end after his own gain. Even with the hunt for gain and profit Ramius does his best to atleast respect the word of the law - though his methods are oftentimes rather heavy handed.
Back-story: Ramius Kastagir had always wanted to be a bard and as the second son of the noble house of Kastagir he wasn't going to be inheriting any lands or titles so there was nothing holding him back from his dreams. Over the years he became a very well known bard - though it was oftentimes rumored that he took far more coin with him before leaving any of his performances than what had been agreed on.
Even after being afflicted with vampirism Ramius still continued his bardic quest - entertaining people around the world, gathering tidbits of information and collecting a rather sizable collection of magical items, old books and other such while amassing a fortune to boot.
Several adventurers have perished when visiting the Kastagir Mansion at the wilderness outside Waterdeep, mostly due to their refusal to back down and due to their insistence on banishing a vampire from the world of the living. Surprisingly Ramius is at the very least in speaking terms with the leaders of the Lord's Alliance and has even managed to make a fair deal - He will refrain from terrorizing the people within his area of influence and provide his vast bardic lore for the Alliance's use and in exchange the Alliance stops sending members of the clergy and other adventurers after him.
