#character reference sheet

Valark and his twin sister, Virith, were two shadow dragons hatched in the tunnels of the Underdark, and found by a priestess of Lolth. Seeing potential in their strength and shapeshifting ability as tools for her own use, she took the twins in secret as her own. Their first mission was to kill her own failing children and to assume their identities.

Valark has long carried resentment for the particular part he was meant to play. By chance, it was his adoptive mother's male child that he was meant to replace - and in Menzoberranzan, men are considered inferior. Though Valark knew himself to be something far greater than those around him, he would always be looked down on, never allowed to reach the heights of his sister for the same achievements, never able to be respected for how truly powerful he was.

Only his mother knew - and for her acknowledgement, he would do anything.

On his first mission on the surface world, to locate a deserter mage from their house, is where he met the party. Useful tools, at first. Then, a source of entertainment.

But the more time he spent about the party, the more he came to genuinely enjoy their company. Sure, they didn't trust him. They would be fools to. But he was beginning to find something close to the acceptance, the respect, that he wanted.

There was only one problem - his sister had already infiltrated them as well, taking the place of a little goblin girl that had earned their trust and adoration.

He couldn't let his sister take the credit for work so expertly done by him. The moment would be his. It should be him anyway, shouldn't he? He was the one who knew them best.

He would betray then first.

He couldn't be their friend, not after this. But he could be their best enemy.
