Kishi

A graceful man of brown hair works over an extended jeweler's table. At his bench is a piece of raw purple crystal over three feet long and as thick as his forearm. Carefully, he chips away at the edges and sands away any imperfections. Behind him on a stand are examples of his finished product; sabers of purple crystal, each glowing with their own unique light. One might think that crystal would be a poor choice to craft a sword from, but in response to your unspoken thoughts, the man extends his hand to receive one such sword flying off the rack of its own accord. A flick of the wrist later and the sword has cut clean through a metal sign post attached to his door.

"Don't worry about the sign. I'll fix it later.", he responds with his calm, sea-green eyes returning to his work.

Kishi is a middle aged kalashtar, married to a loving wife and a daughter in what would be her teenage years. Through his association with the party (mostly Slythe), his skills as an artificer that specializes in psionics has made him a valued member in Sharn's kalashtar community. It has also made him and his family a target on at least one occasion by those that would seek leverage over the party. His patience and dedication to his craft is only matched by that to his family. In the rare times that he is in combat, Kishi prefers to stay as mobile as possible, using his dorjes for his Cull Wand Essence feat to strike single opponents.
