About

They call me the Black Bandit. I am a swashbuckler: a rough, noisy and boastful swordsmen; a rowdy, strong, and agile man and I laugh in the face of mediocrity! Ha! On top of all that, I am breathtakingly handsome, if I do say so myself. I have lived more, loved more, and lost more than anyone can ever know... but I am also a man of many secrets, one or two of which I share only with my scribes. I trust my scribes to keep and guard my secret(s) for me. I have a heart of gold, though it usually doesn't appear as such. That being said, I am aware of my own mortality given my occupation, and therefore I regularly hire scribes to chronicle my adventures--and my secrets--though none of them seem hardy enough to live to tell their tales personally. Nonetheless, a scribe is a scribe, and so long as they are able to capture my tales properly prior to their own demise, I am satisfied with their services. Onward!
