Nathaniel Lletheris-Mandrake, a remarkable half-elf blessed with the longevity of the elves, has lived a life shaped by duty, loss, and an unyielding spirit. His journey began nearly three hundred years ago as a squire to the esteemed grail knight Bartimaeus Brightheart. Together, they fought in the legendary Grail War, a conflict that would alter the course of Nathaniel's life forever.
When Bartimaeus went missing after the war, Nathaniel, fueled by loyalty and determination, embarked on a nomadic existence. He roamed the land, honing his skills with swords and bows, offering his services as a skilled mercenary to the highest bidder. As a bounty hunter, he earned a reputation for his prowess in tracking down targets and bringing them to justice.
Amidst his solitary life, Nathaniel's path intersected with that of Caitlin Brightheart, the daughter of his former master. In a twist of fate, he had once cared for Caitlin during her formative years, and now, as adults, they found solace and companionship in one another's company. Their bond deepened over time, culminating in marriage and the birth of their daughter, Lucinda Brightheart.
Tragedy struck when Caitlin passed away, leaving Nathaniel heartbroken and his responsibilities as a single parent weighing heavily upon him. He made the difficult decision to resume his life as a wandering bounty hunter, leaving his daughter in the care of the thriving city of Riverstone in within the Barony of Redmond. Lucinda grew into adulthood and now, at the remarkable age of 218, continues to live her own life.
Nathaniel, accompanied by his loyal companions, Twelvecut, a ratfolk ex-assassin turned bounty hunter, and Vaylin Moss, a skilled human ranger, roams the roads in search of justice and purpose. Together, they form an unbreakable bond as they navigate the perils of their chosen profession.
Recently, Nathaniel's world was turned upside down when he discovered that his long-lost master, Bartimaeus Brightheart, was alive and wandering the streets of Rivermond. Bartimaeus had been petrified for the past three hundred years, and the revelation of his survival reignites a glimmer of hope in Nathaniel's heart. Determined to uncover the truth behind Bartimaeus' fate and perhaps find closure to his own journey, Nathaniel sets forth to reunite with his former master and confront the mysteries that have haunted them both
