Horus Del Lachier

Horus Del Lachier is a Gnome of Glamoria. He is the only of his name and family and currently employed by the Tates. As a Wizard, Horus is incredibly book smart and makes rational logic and investigation a priority in all aspects of his life. Despite his studious nature Horus has and still does had issues with gambling, often making bets and heavily invested in games of chance at risk of his own well being.

Currently, Horus is adventuring as a member of 'The Hero's of Saltmarsh' (Arifaeit, Jaezmar, Po and himself). He's here on away business for the Tates, however has been given the chance to remain abroad indefinitely.

Early Life
As Horus would tell you, he lived a life of comfort and security in Glamoria, capital of the kingdom of the same name in the beautiful Glistening Isles. Horus would further recall tales of how his father's dedication to Medicine and Alchemy gave them the simple comforts of a happy and warm childhood. But despite what Horus would tell you, he grew up with hardly enough food to feed his hungry family, no big family gatherings with a sweet and hearty home baked feast, just rations they were able to scrape together with a mix of begging and contract work. While his father was quite bright and well attuned to medical concepts, they had no chance to properly flourish in the highly competitive city leaving them in the dust.

Horus also lived through a time of plague and sickness, a curse from a vengeful witch left the city of Glamoria devastated and hollow, a cure quickly developed by the head family, the Tates, became available but too late for the poor and destitute who couldn't afford healers or basic medical supplies. On the 15th of Gihachio 142c13 Horus' Mother passed away a victim of the curse and on the 21st of the same month and year, so too did Horus' Father.

Horus, now orphaned with no known relatives now had to make his own way in the revitalised city of Glamoria, supporting himself however he could.

The Tates
Horus would further to explain that not long after his parents becoming sick, Horus took action and began to do everything he could do to procure a cure, sneaking into the great libraries of the Tate halls to study all he can about the arcane and herbal magics. In hopes of at least being able to temporarily sustain his parents. Horus became focused on studies and obsessed with the chemistry of healing. However not to the degree that was needed, now orphaned at 19 Horus spent his time lost, drowning in a City seemingly uncaring for those who could not push their heads above the waves.

After nearly 40 years of barely making ends meet Horus became very good with the production and application of medical herbs and chemicals. Converting his inherited home into a basic shopfront for simple medical products and made enough to survive, but with the birth of a new Tate Heir came a quite drastic change to the families vibe, this son, Marcus seemed to have an aura of ambition and pure power. Not long after Marcus' birth the stress on smaller businesses began to put them out, unfortunately for a now 60 year old Horus, this left him in a position he had worked so hard to break free from. Barely making enough money to scrape by.

As this child grew up Horus became more and more desperate to stay afloat, resorting to sell his home and live rough in inns and hotels. This would be his life until the death of George Tate, the main patriarch of the Tate family leaving Marcus the new head of the family. It would so happen that due to circumstance, Horus would become employed by the Tates as a bookkeeper (and cooker) forging trade documents and laundering money to hide the dirty deeds of the Tates from the crown. A stable and generous income left Horus finally in a stable position where he had time to finally study and become attuned to the ways of Arcane Magic.

In recent years, Marcus has had two children, one of which, Myles, has taken a liking to Horus, putting all his "dealings" though Horus specifically. This eventually lead to Horus becoming Myles' unofficial assistant.
