Overview

Selko Vorr is a low-ranking enforcer for the Shadow Thieves operating in Crimmor—a streetwise rogue tasked with reminding independent operators that crime in this city comes with a price. His job isn’t to kill; it’s to warn, to watch, and to make sure the guild’s cut is paid. When necessary, Selko can disappear into the alleys as quickly as he arrives.

Selko’s primary role is patrolling the taverns, dockyards, and marketplaces where out-of-town rogues and would-be thieves might try to work without the guild’s permission. He often initiates contact with subtle thieves’ cant and leaves it to others to decide if they want to pay the toll—or face the consequences.

Appearance

Selko is a lean man in his early thirties with a shaved head, sharp cheekbones, and a tattered green scarf always tied at his belt—a subtle marker for those who know the signs. His leathers are dark and travel-worn, and his quick, careful movements suggest a man who’s never fully at rest. His smile is small but rarely sincere.
