Klause Jaeger is a fetchling dhampir and the party’s thief, lockpick, and acquisitions specialist. He is meticulous, charming when it suits him, and operates with the kind of calm that suggests he has already considered several exits. He arrived with established connections to the criminal underworld, particularly the Order of the Shadowed Hand, and has been the group’s primary operator in Firebell.
Appearance
Tall and lean, with the alabaster pallor common to fetchlings and silvered eyes that read as distinctly non-human in direct light. His hair is jet black, worn loose. He dresses practically: a dark, close-fitting coat with enough pockets to suggest a professional. He wears tekko-kagi, spiked hand gauntlets, on his wrists. A small silver amulet hangs at his neck.
Role
Klause handles infiltration, locks, traps, and anything that benefits from not being seen. He is the party’s most reliable source of stolen intelligence, including the Order of the Pale Flame operative orders he lifted during the confrontation at Ironmane’s Forge. He also has a working relationship with Seraphine Voss, who sends Page birds when she has information worth his attention.
His goals point toward acquiring artifacts of significant power. He has not been forthcoming about why.
