Drek’thanos is solidly built, weighing in at 190, standing 5’10”. Peculiar to him, he has orange smoldering eyes, differing from the red and black common to the area. His tail is shorter than some, only reaching his calves, but strong and thick, giving him superb balance and agility. He doesn’t grow facial hair, but his jawline is studded with small horns or spikes, and his hair is cropped at his shoulders, jet black. He has short, sharp horns, unlike his father’s longer, thicker horns which he polishes each morning to keep himself looking fearsome. Occasionally, he wears his hair up in a top-knot (like a samurai’s), mostly for formal occasions.

Drek'Thanos hails from the poor side of Fallcrest, where he works with his father, Morloth, at the docks, as well as on minor building projects, mostly untrained jobs such as splitting planks and holding forms. Morloth is a massive creature, impressively tall and broad the way a wall is. His mother, Ry’Lea on the other hand, is fairly petite, very lithe and thin, which Drek inherited. She washed laundry, worked in kitchens, and generally performed matronly duties in other homes, but she is a fierce and protective mother, who instilled Drek’thanos with a will and self-sufficiency to take him out of the slums. If Morloth taught Drek the value of hard work, Ry’Lea taught him the value of working smart.

A few months ago, Drek caught the attention of the River Rats gang, specifically, its leader Kelson. With knowledge of the wares and valuables in the southern Quays, Drek (grudgingly) provides the River Rats with a  road map for getting a “cut” of their own from the shipping business. A little more to Drek’s taste, Kelson has also had him working nights at the Lucky Halfling as a bouncer, rolling the drunkards for their last silvers on the way out. Drek views his somewhat questionable actions as a riposte against the same ignorant ruffians that make life hard for his whole family simply because of their origins. A Tiefling must do what a Tiefling must do. With the silver he has been earning with the River Rats, Drek has been able to finally keep his mother from working, a point he is very proud of.

On the other hand, Drek has not been able to match the success of his sister, Kallista. As a sculptress in one of the town guilds, she forms stairs, pillars, and other such interior features, but her recent discovery by Orest has been quite eventful. Not only has Kallista begun earning more money, but she has been working more on her art. Additionally, Drek’Thanos has found a mentor in the estimable Orest Naerumar. Drek has found a renewed sense of pride and racial honor, and is beginning to shy away from his dealing with Kelson. On the few trips that Drek has shared with Orest, he has learned Tiefling history, some Dungeoneering knowledge, and even manners. The Melkor family members are cousins to House Azaer, and these relationships are beginning to imbue Drek with self-esteem and pride.

Drek’Thanos is finally realizing that while the town of Fallcrest might offer chances for his family to rise out of ignominy, the adventures and risks that Orest has related to him might be his ticket out of the lower quays. When and if the chance arises, Drek will be the first out of town.
