Danyk Deltario

Danyk Deltario

Danyk Deltario (sometimes called the Sandadder due to the snake-like scar on his face) of House Deltario

Rumors

• Rumors circulate about how the silver tongued Deltario got his distinctive scar. To further add mystery, Danyk seems to have a new story each time he is asked. Some have suggested that Falcone may have given the man his mark, and that secretly the Braavosi Bladesman resents Danyk for bringing his sister to Westeros. If the two men's interaction are any indication, there seems no truth to the rumor.

• It is widely known that the handsome Deltario has a taste for women, but rumors have surfaced recently that he may have a particular taste in married Ladies. While none have come forward to confirm this, several retainers to Angelo have become concerned that , if these rumors are true, it could cause complications to the House. A large number of messengers sent by the Deltario head off in the direction of Lealgrade.

• Danyk may have some unresolved business in Braavos. Ships that sail for Essos often carry missives on behalf of the man. Much like his scar, each time he is asked, Danyk has some new story...and that's if he answers at all.

• Danyk is rumored to control an extensive spy network.

Personality

• Tall, dark, weathered and handsome -- Danyk is a true Salty Dornishman.
• Quick to smile and possessing an extremely well practiced innocent and honest face, few are able to discern Danyks true levels of manipulation and deception. Danyk's good nature, however, is rarely more than skin deep, and when angered and provoked, his temperament can change as fast as a desert wind, becoming truly threatening.
  
• Danyk has a taste for women, and while It is commonly known around the Castle that Lucia is his paramour, he has taken many short term lovers since he arrived in Dawn's Point a year ago. Further, he has become widely known as a habitual gambler, but tends to avoid games of pure chance, favoring cards instead.
  
• Having spent many years in the Freecity of Braavos, he has adopted many of the their mannerisms, and he speaks with an odd ascent -- a melding of the trade houses of Sunspear and the canals of Braavos. While he may often act in bravado, he has a soft spot for babes and children, and when the Daytowers come to Dawnsport, he is sure to make time for their daughter, Melesa, entertaining her with tails of Essos and the many faiths of Braavos. It is unclear where he developed the habit, but Danyk appears to have a 'pet-name' for the women he frequently interacts with.
• While technically a Knight, Danyk was... absent for his vigil and thus was never anointed, further he finds the seriousness with which most Knights take themselves to be too humorous for words. He rarely, if ever, demands to be addressed as Ser Danyk.

Benefits and Flaws

Benefits:

• Blood of the Rhoynes: Danyk's Combat Defense is increased by 2. In addition when testing Tactics he may reroll 4 dice due to his Cunning.
• Disarming Looks: (Reskined Attractive) Whenever Danyk rolls Deception, he may reroll three 1's (1/2 of his Deception).
• Manipulative (Act): (Reskined Charismatic) Danyk increases the results of any Act test by 2.
• Treacherous: During Intrigues, Danyk increases all Deception tests by 4 due to his Cunning.
• Expertise: Fencing: Danyk has developed a fair bit of skill with his Braavosi weapons. He gains +1D to Fighting when using a Fencing Blade.
• Braavosi Fighter I: Danyk increases the Defense bonus of Fencing Weapons by 1, and each weapon maintains a minimum of Defense 1 even when attacking.

• Water Dancer 2: Whenever Danyk tests Agility, the result is increased by 4 due to his Fighting.

Drawbacks and Flaws:

• Debt: SECRET Danyk is deeply indebted to moneylenders in Braavos. The prices for all goods and services are doubled. He will go to great lengths to protect this secret from being discovered. He will go to even greater lengths to keep the reason of his debt a mystery.
• Marked: Danyk's face is marred by a long curving, very snake like, scar. Because of this, whenever he rolls Persuasion, he must reroll any 6's scored. Those familiar with Danyk know that each time he is asked about the scar, he invents a new dramatic story about how he got it.
• Intolerant to Injuries (Flaw: Healing) Though extremely skilled with a blade, Danyk has a revulsion to injuries and blood. While this does not seem to impair him when fighting, he is all but incapable of treating even the most common of wounds. On several occasions he has even fainted at the sight of blood. Danyk suffers -1D to all Healing Tests.
• Animal Antagonist (Fear: Animals) Beasts of all kinds, even the most docile, become fearful or aggressive in Danyk's presence. Because of this, Danyk has become quiet uncomfortable around animals and avoids them if at all possible. Danyk's starting Animal Handling is 1. In addition, whenever threatened by animals (either trained beasts or wild preditors), Danyk is at -1D to all tests. As a free action each round, Danyk may roll one die and on a roll of a 6, this penalty is removed.
• Poor Aim (Flaw: Marksmanship) Danyks aim is terrible. All tests made with Marksmanship are reduced by -1D.
• Contempt for Knighthood: (Reskined: Haughty) Danyk has no respect for the customs and traditions of Westeros Knights, believing them to be laughable at best. Whenever he tests Status(Reputation or Tournaments) he is at -1D. In addition, anytime he is confronted by individuals who staunchly support and enforce such social conventions, or Knights who take themselves too seriously, his starting disposition is Dislike or worse.
• Low Reputation: (Reskined: Marked) Danyk was technically Knighted in the War of Ninepenny Kings, but failed (or refused) to take the vows and accept the title. Because of this he has a somewhat sketchy reputation among certain circles of nobles. Anytime he rolls Status, he must reroll any 6's that are scored and accept the second result. Unlike Ignoble, this is more of a small social stigma and not an outright social outcasting.

Possessions

• Notable Items:
  • Fiddle

Danyk favors the Braavosi cut if not the outlandish colors. His clothing tends to be loose, but often bound by soft straps at the upper arm and wrist. Unlike many other nobles, Danyk rarely, if ever, wears robes, instead favoring a dark hooded cloak.

Goals
