Venrie Springhelm

Venrie was raised by is Mother in the Dock Ward in Waterdeep, who was a waitress at the lonely lion tavern. it wasn't an easy childhood but at least it wasn't the streets, Venrie's mother would tell him of his father, and elven man who swept her off her feet, although he was never seen again after the night they met. he started to hate the fact that he never returned to look after his mother, when Venrie was 10, his mother died as a result of an illness. The landlord of the lonely lion took in Venrie and raised him till he was 16, in that time Venrie built a skill in sleight of hand and made some money in card games. One night while playing cards, Venrie overheard a man from the thieves guild, no knowing he was speaking within earshot of Venrie. the man was telling a story of an elven thief who was in the guild and went by the name "The Shadow" and how he had disappeared from the guild 16 years prior with half of the guild's treasury and was never seen again. Venrie decided to join the guild and to find any information that he could find about his father. 6 years had gone by and there was no information at all regarding an elven thief who was possibly in his 40s or any mention of a shadow. He still hopes to find his father one day, but he decided to focus on himself and make some money. Now he spends his time making money through either playing cards or stealing and selling. One while looking for some muscle for a job he came across a Lonely bugbear in a tavern Venrie asked this bugbear if he was looking to earn some money, luckily he agreed to be part of the job, when the job went south the team up of Venrie and this Bugbear named Mort managed to survive. after that job they realized how well of a team they where, so they done many jobs together for the next few months, they decided to work a bank heist, on the eve of the heist they told each other there stories in case one didn't make it out, thankfully the bank heist was a success, they decided they would spend one time laying low. 18 months went by, they spent their time living a comfortable life while trying to find Venrie's father and the people that killed Mort's crew mates.
