Asuul Amakiir

Asuul is an elven monk. He was born in Shilmista in southwestern Faerun. His father was a soldier and his mother an artisan. They both perished before Asuul was a day old; his father was killed in an ambush while Asuul was in his mother's womb, and his mother, seemingly stricken with grief, died during childbirth.

As an orphan, he was delivered to a nearby Spirit Soaring, a temple to Deneir. He was raised by the temple acolytes, receiving broad instruction in a number of disciplines. As he grew to adulthood, he trained under renowned martial artist Danica Bonaduce and became an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant.

After outliving many of his human friends and feeling he had explored all he could in his homeland, he caught wind of the West Sea's Guild, and their adventures beyond the edge of civilization. Eager to see what secrets the far reaches of the world might offer, he hopped aboard a ship in Waterdeep and sailed west.
