Drex M'chte

Leader of the Ashen Reprisal and covert operative within the city of Avalon.

Backstory
Drex is the result of a Drow soldier forcing himself onto a Lumberton citizen, who traveled to Avalon to give birth and then left him at the steps of the Temple of Ula. As he grew, Drex learned about the prejudice towards his race, and quickly developed a seething hatred at the nobles and other citizens who treated him so cruelly just for being a Drow. Drex eventually ran from the temple, fleeing into the chaos of Avalon and quickly being forgotten by the orphan matrons, who had other, similar orphans to tend to.

Drex was eventually taken in by a Drow war criminal from the days of the invasion by the name of Xhiret Kh'nil. In hiding himself, Kh'nil fostered many Drow children - whether they be the natural offspring of the old prisoners of war that weren't immediately executed, or the wave of children borne from the pillaging of the Drow soldiers during the war's occupation - in the Dreg Slums on the southwest portion of the Hidden Valley in Avalon. The Slums, which were already a mired part of the Hidden Valley as the runoff from the city water systems deposited there, were rarely examined by the Crownsguard, and provided a relatively safe haven for the war criminal and the orphans and runaways of Avalon to look after one another. Swiping goods and begging around town, the children were able to sustain themselves, learning the nooks and crannies of Avalon better than most who more openly walked her streets.

When Xhiret established the Ashen Reprisal beneath Avalon's southwestern streets, Drex was a teenager, and looking for more lucrative and exciting work. He began taking jobs carrying illegal contraband through the city to different dealers, and getting to know the other underhanded players in Avalon.
