PERSONALITY
Personality: Quiet, intelligent, and careful; Black-Heart is one of the few vampires that view themselves as inferior to mortal men. He is fully aware of the stigma against vampires, and his own newfound weaknesses. He prefers to practice his arts and be left alone to do so. While he is generally caring – at least for a vampire – he has little patience for others, and can be quick to snap at annoyances, especially when those annoyances hinder his own progress.
Socially, Black-Heart is a wall-flower. He prefers to keep to himself and draw as little attention as possible, after all, he doesn’t need a legion of guards running him out of the city for a simple misunderstanding. When faced with a problem in a city, Black-Heart is submissive and will do his best to calmly diffuse an encounter. However, this spineless tactic wears his patience thin, and can actually lead to more violence.
Beneath his quiet demeanor lies a person none who know him would see coming. Black-Heart is a fully-fledged assassin and active member of the Dark Brotherhood. While he has never had many inhibitions about taking a life, he never planned – or had any desire – to join the Dark Brotherhood. Unfortunately, he struggles to find other employment and would be without a septim to his name otherwise. To further his involvement with the group, Black-Heart’s skills are closely aligned with those of an assassin, and his bound weapons make escapes easier. After all, guards do not think to check those not carrying a weapon after an assassination.
Habits: Clicking his tongue in thought, talking quietly to himself, and looking over his shoulder.
Likes: A good enchantment, learning new spells, good food, and above all: Power.
Dislikes: Feeding on blood. He finds the practice revolting and finds it no different than cannibalism. Black-Heart also despises Deadra – especially Molag-Bal and Namira – and hindrances.

HISTORY/BACKSTORY
Tends-The-Rivers was born to a small argonian family in Riften, where he lived simply until his tenth summer. It was at this time his family decided to travel to Winterhold, so their son could learn the magic he so keenly took after. Tragedy struck early into the trip, and the group was set upon by a vampire. The ill-equipped family was able to defeat the vampire after a long and pinched struggle, but Rivers’ mother lay dead as the smoke cleared. The loss struck Tends-The-Rivers heavily, and he developed a deep hatred for vampires and their kin, vowing to one day join the Dawnguard and eradicate their kind.
The young argonian’s years at the College passed quickly, and without much excitement. During his last days at the College, Tends-The-Rivers was exploring an ancient Nordic crypt when he accidentally awoke another vampire. The struggle was short, as the vampire was slow to wake, but Rivers caught the cursed infection of vampirism. Days passed, with Rivers completely unaware of the dark powers growing within his body. Before he realized his dire situation, the infection took hold, and Rivers was a vampire.
He spent the next few days running about Skyrim in search of help, but none would listen to his pleas. Including the esteemed Falion of Morthal, who refused to help the now blood-starved vampire. Rivers attempted to cure himself, gathering ten filled black soul gems. After nearly a week of failed attempts, Tends-The-Rivers fell to despair, reading through tomes and tomes of vampires for any obscure ways of curing himself. It was in these tomes, he discovered the raw untapped power that now sat idle in his body. At first, Rivers was blind to the power, and attempted to storm a bandit camp. He claimed three lives before the sheer number of bandits chased him away.
Shortly thereafter, Tends-The-Rivers was contacted by the Dark Brotherhood. They offered him acceptance, shelter, and pay; none of which he could ever hope to gain as a lone vampire. After much debate, and finally coming to grips with his power, Rivers relented, joining the Brotherhood as the aptly named Black-Heart.
Just a few more minutes and I should have the last spot declared! Get ready!
