Sai'gi'na

Githyanki Rogue (Mastermind) / Cleric (Trickery)

Urchin

Sai'gi'na is a Githyanki man whose parents sheared themselves from their society. When his mother was killed by a Gith as a betrayer, brokenhearted his father drowned himself in a swirl of small pleasures. The man died a meaningless death not much later over a gambling debt.

Ending up alone in the streets of Torch, the violent pit of a place his parents called home, after a time he was taken in by Leäzar, one of the Kindred of Yoj. Over the years only his own wits kept him alive, that and the assistance of a shard of a broken power. A wandering entity who attached itself to Sai'gi'na, it keeps itself hidden from all but the Gith himself. It granted him succour in the night and powers to survive the day -though did nothing to preserve an already fragile mind.

Growing up as an apprentice of Leäzar among one of the major Thieves Guilds in Torch was a youth best left untold as well -as is the rest of that life. Suffice to say, when the opportunity to leave the scarred bordertown came, Sai'gi'na readily took it. The opportunity took the form of another Githyanki, a planeswalker on a quest of grave importance for his family. After a group of Sai'gi'na's erstwhile companions made the mistake of trying to rob this planeswalker, ending up as walking corpses for their effort, he first hid himself away.

Prepared for a battle he waited in a corner of the Feasthall of Falling Coins -the chant this planeswalker was looking for him. No doubt to finish what he started. What transpired was quite the opposite of what he expected. The planeswalker, in his quest had turned to old associates of his aunt, a woman Sai'gi'na had once helped dispose of an errant mindflayer. A woman who had also killed all her other companions on that venture excepting Sai'gi'na himself who'd managed to hide -a detail apparantly unshared with her cousin.

Intrigued by his story, and secure in the knowledge the aunt was dead, he offered his assistance to the planeswalker. The fact half the Feasthall saw them talking and started to look as if he'd hired the sorcerer himself to deal with his companions had naught to do with it. Not at all.

More than a decade later the two are still companions. Part of it is a friendship forged by mutual travail, part is the fascination Sai'gi'na has with pointlessness of his friend's quest. It was a quest he pledged to on a whim, he has little detail of what he seeks, no real idea who was responsible.

And should he succeed the Lich Queen will surely eat his soul as his reward. As pointless as it is goes it has reached a rare height in that regard, one that Sai'gi'na will be witness to. It is a story of the meaninglessness of vows, societies' values and what others call the glue that holds everything together.

Death (session 35): Sucked into the Abyss with the whole town of Plague-Mort, and transformed into a tanaar'ri.
