Waterdeep

A striking young noblewoman with fair skin and dark, curly hair, she dons a distinctive black costume and mask in her Black Viper persona, embodying the legendary thief's image.

By day, Esvele fulfills her role as the perfect noblewoman, adhering to the expectations of Waterdeep's high society. However, she secretly yearns for excitement and autonomy, leading her to adopt the identity of the Black Viper. As the Viper, she is daring, cunning, and thrives on the thrill of her clandestine escapades.

Born into the disgraced House Rosznar, which was banished from Waterdeep for slavery and other crimes, Esvele was raised to restore the family's tarnished reputation. Trained in dance, etiquette, and poise, she was molded into the ideal noblewoman. However, feeling stifled by these expectations, she secretly trained herself in stealth, lockpicking, and combat. Discovering the legend of the Black Viper—a notorious thief believed to have died a century prior—Esvele adopted the persona, using it as an outlet for her rebellious spirit. Her exploits as the Viper brought her both notoriety and a sense of purpose, allowing her to challenge the very society that sought to confine her.
