Character Background
Darius Vellor rose from the alleyways of Westcrown to become “The Flick,” a cunning rogue whose nimble fingers and sharp wit turn every encounter into an opportunity for daring escape and clever plunder. Driven by the memory of his lost sister, he champions freedom and protects the downtrodden, all while slipping past tyrants and treasure hunters alike. His devil-may-care charm and unbreakable honor make him an indispensable ally on any adventure.
