He that loves pleasure must for pleasure fall. -Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus

Origin

By a young age, Ambrosius was already an inveterate rake and carouser of house Cornet, minor nobles of Neverwinter. His incredible beauty and charm also made him his mother's favorite boy, however, so he never felt any of the consequences of his actions, and few minded his attentions anyway. When he came of age, his parents gifted him with a mirror enchanted to show its user how to look his best, but the mirror was, in fact, a fiendish instrument.

Ambrosius began to dream of visitations by a creature of many forms even more beautiful than he. He soon found that with the mirror's aid, he became more beguiling, but his lust grew alongside his new magnetism. Normal people began to bore him, and he obsessed only over his nightly visitor. The creature's many forms whispered to him that the mirror was simply a taste of the power he could hold. The creature flattered him, telling him that he was one of the few mortals worthy to carry this might.

The young noble did indeed want this power, and he had no qualms admitting it. The creature at last revealed itself fully as the fiend Pruriel, both incubus and succubus. Pruriel offered to fill Ambrosius with its power so long as he swore to subject lesser mortals to it. Ambrosius accepted. He isn't sure how much time passed, but Pruriel introduced him to all manner of pleasures (and some pain) to bring into the mortal world, and he was filled and drained and filled again until he was truly a vessel of Pruriel. When Pruriel at last left him, the mirror shattered, and its shards formed into the twin blades Lust and Guile, which carry the memory of Ambrosius's initiation.

In truth, though, Ambrosius has always been used to having his own way, and not even Pruriel could bend him fully to its will. Pruriel seemed to want little more than for him to introduce its arts to mortals, and Ambrosius hardly objected to that, anyway. He decided to spread this seed far and wide and found his lust for fellow mortals renewed with his new carnal arts. Indeed, his hunger can hardly be sated. His family, though saddened by his departure, couldn't object in the face of his charms as Ambrosius set out to master his new powers.

Appearance

Ambrosius is a man of devastating beauty, chosen by the fiend Pruriel for this reason. He is tall and solidly built while still lithe, with a healthy, golden glow promising stamina. His blond hair sometimes seems to gleam a coppery red, and in shadow his eyes burn like embers. Ambrosius does not dress as an obvious spellcaster. Instead, he dresses practically as a nobleman might, with good quality studded leather parted just enough to show a tantalizing hint of finely haired chest and a treasure trail leading to a bountiful codpiece. He carries weapons mostly out of habit and to throw enemies offguard.

  • You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
  • When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.
