Garrick Vale

Garrick Vale was born the bastard son of a merchant prince and a courtesan in the bustling port city of Saltmere, inheriting his father's cunning intellect but none of his legitimate wealth or social standing. Raised in the shadowed alleys and gambling halls of the docks, he learned early that charm and deception were more valuable currencies than gold, mastering the arts of theft and manipulation before his teenage years. When his father's legitimate heirs attempted to have him silenced to protect the family name, Garrick escaped into the wilderness and discovered an unexpected talent for tracking—both prey and the whispers of ancient mysteries that traders spoke of in hushed tones. His reputation as a masterless scout caught the attention of the Blackstar Consortium, who recognized in him the perfect tool for their most delicate acquisitions: a man with no allegiances, no conscience, and an insatiable hunger for wealth and the legendary Star Shards that collectors across the realm obsessed over. Since joining their ranks, Garrick has orchestrated the theft of countless priceless artifacts, always careful to stay one step ahead of both his employers' rivals and the moral compulsions that weaker men allow to burden them. He views every contract, every partnership, and every hero's quest as merely another opportunity to position himself closer to the greatest prize imaginable—the Star Shards themselves—and he has learned that sometimes the most profitable path requires appearing as an ally rather than an enemy.
