Role

Chapter 4

Character premise:

Trotat is a coveter - he always wants what he cannot have. Wealth, power,
and contentment are all things that he greatly desires. Someone put it best
when they said, "It's a funny thing, killing . You take away
everything he has, and everything he's ever going to have." Trotat is going
to abide by that statement as best he can, fully realizing that death is
often no permanent thing in Thera.

Much in the way an anti-paladin would think, his view is that a person's
power resides in both the things that they have accumulated as well as the
strength of their being. Either one (or especially both) of these traits are
coveted by the arial. A naked, weak enemy who has been slain repeatedly is
undesirable, but a weak enemy dripping gold coins is as coveted as a strong
enemy with nothing but the clothes on his back.

At the same time, it's like having a bottomless hole in one's middle. As
much as Trotat tries to take from others, that hole can never be filled. It
is the realization of this that makes him so bitter towards others. He tries
his best to hide it, but his calm exterior often gives way to jealous or
impatient rage.

Trotat came to the Chasm in search of allies. The coming of the Ccul'gra and
the darkness that will wash over the land is really as good as cause as any
to him, just so long as he is at the top of the food chain when all is said
and done. To that end, he will do what is necessary to facilitate the Coming
while simultaneously continuing his impossible quest. Perhaps if he does his
part, the wealth and power so unattainable at present just may finally fall
right into his lap. One thing is for sure though: nothing in all of Thera
has offered him a chance like this.
