Damakos Drak is one of the richest inhabitants of Aranthaes, both head of the Drak banking empire and the main landlord in the city, his powerful ‘true born‘ family owning all of Aranthaes Wynds.

Born into the longest documented true born line in Aranthaes, Damakos’ family history is steeped in money and magic. As a child, he showed an early aptitude for the arcane arts and was sent to study under some of the most powerful warlocks in the land.

Not satisfied with inherited family wealth, his thirst for knowledge and power led him down a dark path, and he made a pact with an unknown deity in exchange for even greater power. With his new abilities, he quickly rose to prominence in the world of business, using his dark magic to further his family’s financial interests.

Note: Nothing is set in stone, these are only suggested and partial details because Aranthaen characters are simply canvases for DMs to make their own!

Damakos is known to be cold and calculating, with a reputation for ruthless business tactics. He is suspicious of almost everyone and sees conspiracy and collusion everywhere he looks, a way of thinking that only increased when he suffered a double tragedy.

He lost both his wife and son in a failed assassination attempt and watching them die horribly, powerless to stop it has pushed Damakos to the brink. His vengeance will be had and he will stop at nothing to track down the perpetrators.

His two surviving daughters Damaia and Devtaria have distanced themselves from their father – Damaia is rarely around, instead focusing on her magical studies, and Devtaria because she blames him for their deaths.

It is rumored Damkos has business ties with an Aranthaes Wynds crime syndicate, led by one of the city’s most infamous criminals, Kallista, something he denies angrily. Other rumors suggest that these are more than business ties, with whispers suggesting they could be lovers.

Appearance: Damakos is a tall, imposing figure with sharp features and piercing yellow eyes. He is always impeccably dressed in fine silks and tailored suits, with a gold and emerald-tipped cane as his constant companion.
