BACKGROUND
gael was born poor though it didn't start out that way. his family were once nobles of cyre and were among the first to secretly take refuge in sharn. it was a difficult decision for his parents to take. they knew they will never go back to the way it was. they were traitors to cyre. to continue living, their secret must remain.
he was just a baby when they became citizens of sharn. he only knew this life. one of resignation. his parents tried to teach him well the ways of the court but among the things he learned growing up, only the eladrin tongue remained. he found it fascinating. but it was too much for his parents to live as humble peasants. they became very reclusive.
as a child of impoverished background, he became part of a shady group of questionable character. he began as a decoy first while the expert thieves pickpocket the audience during a street performance. until eventually he learned the ropes to become one of the best.
he became an independent thief as an adult. when the other refugees of the war started flooding the city. these were the common folks of cyre. he sympathized with their plight for like him, he had nothing ar well. he couldn't tell them who he was but it was tempting, for the risk was to his own family not just to himself.
poufsouffle then came to being. gael's alter ego. poufsouffle is a bonifide criminal in the eyes of sharn law. there exists a warrant for his arrest, for he is known to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. he is the masked hero of sorts among the cyran war refugees.
nobody knows where he comes from. some say he in league with the magistrates. some say he is but a shadow, a mystical creature born out of the collective misery and suffering of the refugees. nature's attempt to set things right, when things have gone so wrong. some say that he was a cyran refugee himself to further the propaganda and social stygma against the cyrans by sharn nobles, that is to undermine the cyran's political appeal for equality. already sharn citizens abhorred cyrans. viewing them as animals. others suspect that he is some deranged and eccentric sharn noble. either way, the law has been looking to get his head for a long time.
he was forced to live a double life because of his livelihood, apart from love and other personal pursuits. he would have brief encounters at stinky brothels nothing more. on the side and also part of his public disguise, he tutored younglings of rich families the eladrin language, as it was considered very fashionable to be able to speak eladrin. in this way he would have inconspicuous contact with the people responsible for providing him his trade.
he worked and lived in sharn for many years both as gael who teaches languages classes to the rich and as pouffsouffle the hero. he is witness to the injustice the refugees of the war are subjected to. he couldn't just stand idly by to the systematic destruction of the cyran culture and spirit.
of late, he'd seen many a youth succumbed to the dreamlily, a highly addictive herb, which is being distributed unofficially with full intent by local magistrates to the children of the refugees. poufsouffle is now occupied with exposing the magistrates and in one way or another exact justice for the cyrans.

Brawny Rogue
You like powers that deal plenty of damage, aided by your Strength, and also stun, immobilize, knock down, or push your foes. Your attacks use Dexterity, so keep
that your highest ability score. Strength should be a close second—it increases your damage directly, and it can determine other effects of your attacks. Charisma
is a good third ability score, particularly if you want to dabble in powers from the other rogue build. Select the brutal scoundrel rogue tactic, and look for powers
that pack a lot of damage into every punch. Suggested Feat: Weapon Focus (Human feat:
Toughness)
