Creed



A major character in Family Affair

Cimer Creed is a Glasyan Tiefling sworn to the service of a Hexblade, a powerful Flail called Edge of Midnight. His family was butchered by a necromancer and his summoned pets, a fact that has driven Cimer to despise the undead and all those who so associate.

Cimer had been in the city of Neverwinter seeking work when he was drugged and captured. The unscrupulous quartet responsible for his kidnapping descended into the Underdark to sell their horned prize and a few others, though Cimer was the only one sold to Vekenvyl.

Thankfully, Cimer was not forced to come up with his own escape plan as a horde of demons appeared and attacked the prison. During the insanity that ensued, Cimer launched an escape along with a very distinct group of fellow inmates, descending into the darkness in a vie for freedom.

During his time in the Underdark, Cimer never seemed to fully commit to his compatriots. He saw them more as tools to assist in his return to the surface than anything else. In the days after he would try to sooth his bruised heart by telling himself that it was a factor of his condition than anything about him as a person, but he isn't always so sure. He often wonders why he was so heartless during his descent into the darkness, and why he could never come to trust or seek comfort from the others in his party.

The group cut a path through the Underdark culminating in the Sloopdloop Civil War, where Cimer and his fellow slaves were able to cut down the Drow hunting party chasing them, as well as inadvertantly stopping the appearance of Demogorgan into the Prime Material Plane.

After returning to the surface, the group went their separate ways as fast as they could. Still, for a long time Cimer reflected on his time in the Underdark, questioning himself and how he handled that time. His questioning led him to redouble his efforts to become a greater hunter, burying himself in his work so as not to face the cold fact that he had been a terrible example in that time. He learned the weaknesses of the undead, focused his training on his ability to battle, while communing with his master to make him a better servant.

Then he can to Red Larch, eliminating a minor necromancer in the area before coming across a group of familiar faces once again, feeling the tug of Fate at his heart.
