Fantasy NPC

Davon Bosh

Human City Guard

“Light and darkness live in us all, and one will triumph. I’ve made my choice. Have you made yours?”

Appearance: A stout man saunters down the street, the patch on his armor marking him as the Sergeant of the Watch. He stops to bark some orders at a guardsman through broken teeth, prodding him roughly with the cudgel he carries. His head is shaved bald, visible above most of the crowd as he brusquely pushes them out of his way. The rest quickly part to let him through.

​

Personality: Though he may look like a dimwitted thug, Davon Bosh is far from it. Intelligent and patient, he keeps a tight rein on the daily workings of the city guard. Anyone that spends time with him may get a sense that he has little love for the law and an uneasy feeling about the coldness in his eyes.

​

Motivation: Things are going well and the master’s plan proceeds as it should, step by step. The bribes are piling up and will go far in turning those that may be turned. Above all, I must not be discovered.

​

Roleplaying Tips: Stern and humorless, Davon Bosh takes time choosing his words, his teeth causing them to slur slightly. He often uses silence to make others uncomfortable, and hunches when seated.

​

Background: As required by her religious order, Davon’s mother gave him up at birth to be raised by strangers. Davon grew to resent her bitterly, as his new family never let him forget he wasn’t one of their own. Bitterness grew to hatred, and Davon was easily drawn to the dark Cult of Cthadras and dedicated himself to their cause. His current position in the city guard is due entirely to their influence.

​

Traits: Cultist, Evil, Guard, Intelligent, Intimidating, Lawful, Resilient, and Strong

​

Dark Secret: Davon is a member of the Cult of Cthadras and has been tasked to accept bribes from the various criminal groups in the city. He receives instructions from Uldar Thross through feverish dreams.

Plot Hooks
  • A gang of foreign criminals has begun operating in the city and are raising tensions in the underworld. Davon would rather the problem take care of itself but the trouble is beginning to threaten the public, and that is harmful to his purpose. The guard is doing the best they can, but he needs to hire outside help to restore order and protect the innocent.

  • Davon Bosh is ever watchful for members of his mother’s religious sect and keeps a close eye on the city’s Sanctuary of Vior and those who serve its deity. He will use his power to harass whoever puts their trust in the faith, though he must be wary not to do so openly or draw attention to himself.

  • Anyone suspected of a crime is brought before Watch Sergeant Bosh for questioning and possible detainment. Though he never suggests a bribe, he will gladly accept if it is offered in private. Those who strike this deal may also be called in the future to perform a number of questionable tasks for the man.
