Neftel

Neftel is here on... business. Specifically, he's here on behalf of some vague and unmentionable Shadow organisation- perhaps the Shadowbinder's court itself- to investigate the rogue patch of Shadow's lands attached to Driftwood Shore known as the Spire. He has made it succinctly clear that he is only here to observe and investigate, with no interest in the clan itself. He has also heavily implied that it would be in the clan's best interest not to turn him away or interfere. It might cause... an incident.

In truth Neftel has far less power and connections than he skillfully implies, and is simply a scientist of the elemental arts sent by forces that do not confide in him. Most of the clan is wary of him and his supposed shadowy authority, but Nef works closely with Anthem- the hulking custodian of the Spire- who sees right through his grandstanding most unnervingly.

Neftel is accompanied by the Guardian Cul, who holds Nef as his Charge and therefore functions as a handy and unpaid bodyguard. He strives to maintain their relationship as professional, despite the intensity of Cul's Charge instincts.

Neftel's only nest brother Farren is part of the elemental priesthood, though he has not seen him since their adolescence.

Familiar:
Neftel's blue pearl is haunted by a mild-natured spirit that attached itself somewhat recently. He is quite fond of the ghostly fish, though he occasionally has to shoo it away to tend to his pearl.
