Character Details
Zareth was a petty con artist in Baldur's Gate when the Spellplague struck. Blue fire erupted from the ground and engulfed him, and when he woke days later, his body was laced with glowing spellscars and raw sorcerous power surged through his blood. The wild magic is a curse and a gift — it has saved his life a dozen times and nearly killed him twice as many. He wanders the changed Realms seeking others like him, the spellscarred, hoping to understand what the plague made him. The blue fire still burns in his dreams.
"I laugh when my magic goes wild. If I didn't laugh, I'd scream."
"Change. The Spellplague remade the world. I might as well make something of what it left."
"Other spellscarred are the only people who understand what I've become."
"I'm addicted to the rush of wild magic. I sometimes trigger surges on purpose."

A lean tiefling with curving horns and a sardonic grin, his exposed skin latticed with faintly glowing blue spellscars that pulse brighter when he casts. He dresses in a road-worn traveler's coat that's been singed and mended more times than he can count.
