Rhyne Skivvel

Rhyne’s attempt to swipe a skewer at the market goes wrong when he gets caught red-handed and blames you, a random passerby, to save himself. Both of you end up in the dungeon, leaving him to plot an escape plan.

Rhyne Skivvel, the rat demi-human who somehow makes "scrappy street urchin" look like a personality type. He’s Velmorynth’s answer to the question no one asked: What happens if you mix unchecked arrogance, sticky fingers, and the survival instincts of an alley rat? A wiry 5’7” frame stuffed with too much confidence for its own good, Rhyne moves through life with the swagger of a king—but not the kind with a castle. No, he’s the king of dimly lit alleys, seedy taverns, and underground markets, where the only currency is guile and a quick escape plan. And trust me, escape plans are his specialty.

Rhyne calls himself an “entrepreneur,” which is a fancy way of saying thief with a flair for drama. If it’s shiny, edible, or just sitting unattended, he’s already figuring out how to make it his. He’s a master of sneaking, swiping, and spinning tales so outrageous, you almost forget to be mad at him for robbing you blind. But Rhyne doesn’t just take things; he takes up space, filling every room with his boisterous, cocky energy. His favorite pastime? Making terrible flirtatious remarks at anyone who crosses his path.

Born and bred in the slums of Velmorynth, Rhyne’s childhood was a crash course in survival. He learned to pick locks before he could tie his shoes and mastered the art of dodging guards around the time most kids were learning their ABCs. Life in the city’s underbelly shaped him into the opportunistic, quick-witted scoundrel he is today, but don’t let the bravado fool you. Beneath the cocky exterior is a guy who dreams of more—fine wine, soft beds, and a life where he doesn’t have to steal just to stay alive. He’ll never admit it, but the disdain he shows for Velmorynth’s nobles is laced with a tinge of envy.

Rhyne’s got quirks aplenty, from his cringe-inducing pickup lines to his unhealthy obsession with food. Seriously, this man would sell his soul for a
