Elaith Craulnober

Elaith Craulnober is a elven rogue in the Forgotten Realms fantasy world, featured in the Songs and Swords series written by author Elaine Cunningham.

WARNING: PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD!

Appearence: Elaith can best be described as wiry. He is in excellent shape, but is still smaller in height than most humans. Although thin, he is not at all weak.

Story: Elaith was formerly a captain of the guard on Evermeet, until he was disgraced and exiled from the island. He had formerly been betrothed to Princess Amnestria, the mother of Arilyn Moonblade, and harbors a deep regret about it. He soon became a rogue elf, and began building his own underground empire in Waterdeep. He acquired a reputation for ruthlessness and never letting his enemies live, which he went to great lengths to keep for some time. He has a fondness for magical items, and also owns a moonblade, though his was dormant for quite some time, due to his activities. He currently holds it in trust for his daughter, Azariah Craulnober. He met Danilo Thann and Arilyn Moonblade in the novel Elfshadow, and took an instant dislike to Danilo, and liking to Arilyn. He actually arranged to have Danilo killed, but ended up warning him of it beforehand. In the novel Elfsong, his moonblade was reactivated. Since then, he has perhaps become a trifle more virtous, though he still believes that killing people you don't like is much easier than waiting to attend their funerals.

Relationships: Elaith has named Danilo an elf-friend, which he regards as an act of supreme folly, but excepting his daughter, Azariah, he has no other living relatives.
