Erevis Cale

Erevis Cale is a fictional character in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of Dungeons and Dragons. Once the head servant of the wealthy merchant Uskevren family in Sembia, he now serves the dark deity known as Mask. Before his new found loyalty to Mask was formed, Erevis (also known by some as simply Cale) doubled as an assassin during the night. He was originally placed in the Uskevren mansion as a spy for potential rogue operations that may arise in the Uskevren estate. Because of the speed and intensity with which Erevis became friends with the patriarch of the Uskevren family Thamalon, his loyalties had become split. The death of Thamalon (or the Old Owl as he had been known as) marked the end of Cales service at the mansion, but not his loyalty to the rest of the family, especially the youngest of them, whom he had previously been in love with. He frequently faces and internal struggle with his darker side that recently has manifested physically in the form of him becoming a Shade.

Erevis' main weapon is a longsword that became enchanted when he sliced through a rare and extremely powerful artifact that turned out to be a map to a secret city of shadows known as the Fein of Shadows. This city, which was the creation of a collaboration of many dark deities including Mask and Shar was the site of Erevis' transformation into a shade.

Erevis Cale was an extremely proficient rogue and assassin before his transformation into a Shade, and now his abilities have been increased exponentially by the transformation. His new abilities include but are usually only applicable when he is within shadows or darkness; increased strength, ability to heal rapidly, shadow walking (a form of short distance teleporting from shadow to shadow), a regrown hand with superior strength that is only manifested in darkness. He can also create portals to the plane of shadows at his will. In addition to his Shade abilities, Erevis is a highly accomplished devine spellcaster. As the first chosen of Mask he has access to Masks full attention when casting spells, which has in the past bolstered his spells when facing uncommonly difficult enemies.

Erevis was once a primary rival of Drasek Riven for the attention of the leader of their assassins guild in Sembia. They both now operate as the 1st and 2nd chosen of Mask, of which there will eventually be five. they have also been referred to as the right and left hands of Mask.

Cale and Drasek are currently in the middle of a quest given to them by their patron Deity to steal back a portion of their gods essence which was stolen by the chosen of Mask in the previous generation. Cale has promised this portion of divine essence to both his god and to his adventuring companions Archdevil father Mephistopholes. He made this arrangement in order to get back the missing half of Magadon's soul which was ripped from his friends body. The outcome is yet to be determined.
