Baby

Julian Grey, aka Baby, is an Elven assassin and sometime ally.

He was once a resident of the Ferros Desert, but left to pursue his dreams of wealth. He originally came to Quintessence for the education, but found that his talent for theft was more profitable than any education could achieve in the short term. Unfortunately, he stole from the Bonecutters' leader King Broggath. He arrogantly thought he could get away with it, but was caught and punished for his trouble with a steady diet of Slaver's Drops. Broggath had him work as a stripper in the Rusty Sword for his amusement, drugged and unable to escape his fate. He was eventually freed when the Order of the Seven broke up the racket at the Rusty Sword and inadvertently freed him of from the drug.

When he meets up with the Order in Rafia, he brings news of Quintessence's fate. Quintessence is overrun and even a thief can't make a living without getting permission from the Bonecutters. They take a cut of all profits and have eyes everywhere. Further, Baby has a bad reputation among them. He was constantly hunted, and so he fled.

However, even outside of Quintessence he cannot get assignments since working as a cross-dressing stripper/prostitute in The Rusty Sword. He suspects the Bonecutters are behind the attack on Queen Renia. Wants revenge. He assists the group, but covertly. He is wary of traps, and the goblin influence is steadily spreading.
