Character’s in-game name: Masyndril
Character’s gender/pronouns: man, he/him
Character’s species: Sylvari
Briefly describe their physical appearance if it differs from their character model: Masyndril's hair consists of braided white vines that have been meticulously stripped free of all leaves and errant sprouts. He's hard to miss in a crowd, as he's lavishly adorned with gold jewelry and embroidery.
Is there any place a stranger might have seen them before in passing? - While he spends most of his time tending to his branch of the Court, he has on occasion made trips to major cities to meet with contacts and consultants, and would freely mingle in such locations.
Is there any gossip a stranger might have heard about them, whether true or false? A few rumors sometimes float that he's an assassin for hire, or that he orchestrated Faolain's fall. There's a claim that floats around about him being an undercover valiant in the Court, but it's not a very likely one. Conflicting voices will claim that he's a self-important vain poser or that he's a rare specimen of a Courtier with virtue.
Additional info:
Masyndril is a member of a small established band of Nightmare Courtiers, and has led them since around 1325 AE. While his sect doesn't condemn violence or cruelty, they are adamant it must first be earned, which has given them a reputation of being a lesser evil and is the basis for an uneasy truce with the nearest settlements.
