Scipio

Return to People

Scipio is a Half-Elf Paladin from Leilon. He is currently operating in Northwest Faerun as an independent settler and paladin. He was a temporary member of the Groep van Droep in 1770 DR.

Early life
Scipio was born in the harbor city of Leilon in spring of 1750 DR. He was the only son of the elf Pompeus and the human Truus. As such, Scipio had upbringing of both worlds. For this, he was discriminated and bullied by other kids and inhabitants of Leilon. He still made several friends, mostly other half-elfs. Rudius, Germanios, Lafius, and the human Gerbert.

In his youth, Scipio could often be found in the library of leilon, studying various forms of military tactics and history in general.

One day in his young adult life, Scipio was ambushed by a gang of kids that heavily beat him up. During this beating Scipio received a vision from Corellon, the god of evenkind, instructing Scipio to found a settlement for the Half-Elfs. During this vision, Scipio also received several divine powers to achieve this goal, and instructions on how to channel these powers.

In the months that followed, Scipio collected gear that he would use on his adventures, such as weaponry and armor. He also adopted the surname Twostreams during this time.

He eventually made his way to Neverwinter in time for the harvest festival of 1770 DR, where he would encounter the human Hagrid and the Elf Uwiphyx as they were lauded for defeating the dragon Venomfang.

A Paladin of Corellon
After having joined the adventuring party Groep van Droep, Scipio quickly returned to Leilon during the groups assignment to find missing mining equipment. Here he visited his parents and invested his savings in the city's fishing fleets.

During their investigation of the missing mining equipment, the party was ambushed by bandits that Scipio almost singlehandely fought off. He took some of the bandits prisoner. Scipio quickly became friends with Hagrid and James Demesis, although he remained neutral towards Uwiphyx and wary of Natah during the first few weeks of his adventure.

After arriving in Phandalin and learning of the missing of Sister Garaele, Scipio saw a chance to do good, and eagerly helped with the investigation. This investigation eventually led him and the rest of the party to the human city of Triboar. In Triboar, Scipio met a trio of entrepreneuring brothers that wanted to help him establish his half-elven town. With potential funding secured, Scipio split off from the Groep van Droep and parted ways.

Notable relationships

 * James Demesis, a fellow half-elven adventurer in the Groep van Droep. James and Scipio are both male young adult half-elf adventurers that enjoy witty banter, so it was to be expected that a brotherlike bond would develop between the two. The two are rivals as much as they are equals within the group, which results in a lively dynamic between the two.
