I don't have a pic, but Stu's working on his figure. He's a young noble with no nose and an angry scar over half his face as a childhood scar from when a 6-fingered man from the surface chopped off part of his face (after killing his father!) when he was 11 years old. He's new to the surface world and looking to avenge his father... He died his hair orange-red and sometimes tries to pass as a "wild Elf". He loves being on the surface, and doesn't plan on going back to the Underdark anytime soon...

Cyrano grew up in the Drow ‘city of Lies’, Menzoboranzan, until he was 10 years old. With 7 older sisters and 4 older brothers, Cyrano was the youngest noble in House D’ Montoya, an upper ranked house thought to be a “heartbeat away” from having a seat on the city’s ruling council. Hating the oppressive hierarchy of the Drow, Cyrano was glad to get away from the hateful priestesses of the City, who seemed to hate him especially, just because of his slightly purple skin and lavender eyes (though he never knew why…).
Though only 10 years old, his father, fearing for Cyrano’s safety in the city, convinced his mother to send him with his father, 2 older sisters, few dozen house soldiers (plus Goblin Slaves), on a multi-year mission to find, secure, and re-establish an ancient platinum mine. If successful, it could secure his mother a seat on the Council. Cyrano’s mother was glad to be rid of her purple skinned offspring, as he was clearly too weak to properly hold a longsword, and showed no aptitude for magic school either. His father saw something special in him no one else did, and helped him learn to master the lighter weight dagger.
Shortly after his 11th birthday, his family’s new mine was attacked by a large number of surface folk, led by a master swordsman with 6 fingers on his right hand. The Goblin slaves and Drow soldiers were all dead or scattered when the 6-fingered man and his party entered the chamber where Cyrano, his father, and 2 sisters were. While his sisters were fighting the other surface folk, the 6-fingered swordsman sliced down the only Drow who was ever kind to young Cyrano, and Cyrano charged the 6-fingered man with his dagger. He never got close though, and found his consciousness fading when a single blow sliced half of Cryano’s face from the rest of his skull, all but killing him.
Appalled by how callously the Drow youngling was killed and disregarded, a young Elf in his party put her magic ‘life shroud’ over Cyrano’s head. The slice was so clean, that while his nose was lost, the surface Elf and magic shroud was able to save the youngling’s life. Hours, days, or weeks later (Cyrano has no way of knowing), Cyrano found himself alive with his half severed face mostly re-healing to his skull. Priestesses of the first House “just so happened” to come across the surface party and ran them off just too late to save anyone but Cyrano. He later wondered if they were set up, but doesn’t know…
While the powerful Drow priestess from the first House had powerful enough magic to fully regenerate Cyrano’s face if she wanted, she didn’t want, and healed him only enough to leave an angry scar on his nose-less face. Something about his purple skin and lavender eyes brought out the hate in her… Claiming his family’s platinum mine for House Baenre, Cyrano was almost 13 when the Baenre priestess sent Cryano to join a caravan back to the Drow City of Lies and his own family.
Enraged that she lost the platinum mine to House Baenre, and that her daughters died, Cyrano’s mother did not heed the “don’t shoot the messenger” motto and almost whipped her returned son to death from her rage. His oldest sister basically saved his life by suggesting that they send Cyrano on a ‘throw away’ mission to avenge his father, hopefully appeasing the Lade of Chaos, Lolth, for losing the mine thereby possibly regain their standing in the city.
Not trusting he wasn’t a House Baenre spy anymore, and finding him useless for any of her other plans, Cyrano’s mother sent Cyrano with 10 Drow house soldiers under his command, to the surface to kill the 6-fingered man that weakened her house in the eyes of Lolth (and killed his father!). Happy to be out of the city and away from the whips of all the Drow priestesses, the 13 year old young Cyrano still found he had trouble commanding his troops, who didn’t want to take orders from a child. That, along with not knowing where they were going, meant they spent 6 years before they found their way to the surface, and 4 of his 10 soldiers didn’t survive the journey through the Underdark.
Once on the surface, Cyrano died his hair a fiery orange-red, the hair color of the surface Elf who helped save him, to try and blend in as a “wild Elf” (with dark skin). He and his team of Drow spent almost 2 years outside a small fishing village, meddling with the lives of a couple families there, learning about the surface world, and the uncomfortably bright Sun.
While his soldiers were happy settling in to life outside ofMenzoboranzan and had no interest in pursuing the 6-fingered man, Cyrano still wants to avenge his father. Rather than face mutiny, Cyrano commanded his soldiers they “establish a base camp” there, while he looked for vengeance. They aren’t expecting to see each other again any time soon.
While extremely young by Elf standards at only 20 years old, Cyrano is glad and excited to finally be on his own, away from Drow and their oppressive monarchy, and loves being on the surface world, where many fear his kind and is populated by many foolishly trusting lesser species. He plans on enjoying himself while pursuing his quarry…
Cyrano recently heard of a major war that pretty recently ended, and a call for adventurers to help (with?) slavers there, and so recently boarded passage there. Sounds like as likely a place as any to hone his skill with his daggers, and find a 6-fingered swordsman to kill…
