Kemble Coyote

John's sneaky half-elf in Bones of the Naga and Uncertain Allies. Later, N3.

He's somewhat slight of form, but still cuts a dramatic silhouette with his armored chest, black leather jacket and pants, and a fine lionskin cloak, its bushy mane stacked atop his shoulders and surrounding his braided white hair.

Background

Kemble's mother Shakira is an elven druid/herbalist/witch who lives in a woody grove on a rocky bluff just inland from a fishing village called Salthome, a few miles south of Serenton. His father was a Serentonian Guard, who would blow into town with buddies every few months and treat his mother and other local women poorly.

Kemble was a rapscallion as a kid, a mischievous trickster, and led a small crew of other kids in petty thefts and pranks in the village.

Once his voice changed and potential consequences grew more serious, his mother advised he move on to the big city. There, he found more precious loot and has lived a life of occasional thievery and fun, leading to his Reputation among the guards. There's never any evidence to arrest him, but they just know he's up to something.

Kemble crossed paths with his father some years back. Now on his deathbed, nobody knows why the grizzled guard fell ill.

Kemble has been acquiring materials for Abacaneeser for several years before Bones of the Naga. Between the herb lore his mother taught him, and his natural proclivity for thievery, it was been a productive relationship.

After that adventure, he visited Camlin, found himself in some trouble, and then struck north for Drannor. After tangling with some brown-robed monks on the road through Wildwood, he followed game trails until he was quite lost, eventually emerging in Raal.
