Thorn

Thorn (House Kropus)

Thorn arriving by ship at the docks to be greeted by Carcenjo Foxmantle II

Thorn is the bastard son of Hiren Kropus and half-brother to the late Lucien Kropus. A half-elven privateer and veteran wanderer of the Sea of Fallen Stars, Thorn spent over twenty years surviving cosmic and astral voyages before returning to Cormyr.

Arrival by Ship & The Foxmantle Gambit

Following Lucien's death (~1498–1500 DR), Carcenjo Foxmantle II spent substantial coin tracking down Thorn and personally greeted him at the docks as his ship made port, hoping to use Hiren's long-lost son as a legal golden ticket to claim the Kropus methane empire.

However, Thorn is far from a pliable puppet — he is a battle-hardened Level 18 veteran (Rogue 6 / Cleric 6 / Druid 6) who gleefully exploits Foxmantle's bottomless credit line to acquire expedition supplies at Pollo's Potions. Rather than serving Foxmantle's commercial interests, Thorn slipped his handlers during the street ambush outside Marco Pollo's shop, escaping north in a shielded House Ebonhawk supply casing to investigate Lucien's death and reclaim his family's legacy on his own terms.
