Backstory:
Zyfuss was born in Yoon’s Hold, a small village on the western border of the Grabisco Kingdom. His mother was an innkeeper and his father was a woodcutter. When he turned 5 years old, his parents died from an infestation of a certain spider-like creature.
He grew up alone in the woods, and he eventually made it to the city of Tresus. He learned how to pickpocket and was eventually caught stealing from the Royal Palace. He was sent to the prison in the city of Tresus, but he escaped.
While in prison, though, he learned the trade of assassination from another prisoner. He picked up the necessary skills quickly, and he used them to escape the prison. He fled Tresus, but not before killing 5 guards and a guard captain.
Overall, he’s been a fugitive ever since. He eventually met up with some thugs and was working with them until he was betrayed. He now wanders the countryside, looking for a new partner.
It’s rumored that Zyfuss once had a partner. His name was Palaum, and they worked together for a few years in Yoon’s Hold. They were best friends, but one day he just vanished. Zyfuss hasn’t seen him in years.
Zyfuss is no longer in the Grabisco Kingdom. He traveled south, to the Beggarlands.
Personality:
Zyfuss is quiet and timid, and he doesn’t talk much. He is very loyal to his friends. He is always looking out for them, and he will do anything to protect them. He might appear to be a bit of a coward, but it’s only because he is very protective of his friends.
He’s a very dark individual. He’s been hardened by years of being on the run. He seems to be a very nice person initially, but there’s a lot of bad in him. He’ll do anything to get what he wants. He’ll kill whomever he has to. He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty.
He is lazy and he isn’t good at taking orders. He does what he does for his own reasons and he does it when he wants to. If you give him a job, he’ll do it, but he won’t do it right away. He’s not willing to do any more work than he has to, and he’ll resent you for asking him to do it.
When it comes to his own friends, Zyfuss will do anything to help them. He’ll come to their aid immediately and he’ll help them in any way he can. He’ll lie to protect them. He’ll steal for them. He’ll kill for them. He’ll risk his life for them. Anything and everything.
Zyfuss is very intelligent. He’s a good problem solver and he can think fast. If a plan fails, he likes to create a back-up plan or an alternate plan. He is also very good at thinking out of the box. If your plan A fails, he can usually come up with a plan B.
When it comes to learning, Zyfuss is very easy. He is an excellent listener and he can perform almost anything you tell him to. He has a photographic memory. He’s also very good at perfecting a skill.
Appearance:
Zyfuss has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is a bit on the skinny side, and he is 5’4ft tall. He wears a dark brown cloak and a dark brown leather armor.

Zyfuss has been on the run for the past 10 years. He has been traveling throughout the Grabisco Kingdom and stealing from anyone who gets in his way. He has made many enemies, including the royal family of Grabisco.
