Ivellios Naraithalian Moonstrike was once a loyal, if not wholly dutiful, Moon Elf of Evereska. Called "Raithe" by his siblings, he was the oldest of triplets and often lead his siblings, Taldaein and Illura, to explore the world around them and drive their father to distraction. He considered it his duty to ruffle his father's feathers and often took the brunt of the nobleman's disappointment, but remained close to his mother, who asked only that he look out for their family.

When a noted Archmage, Fandral Dreamweaver, among their people sought students for teaching, the triplets all vowed that they'd stand together and as candidates. Dreamweaver denied Raithe as having "no mystic talent worth nurturing". The young elf was crushed. That anger soon boiled over into resentment and a distrust of wizards. Illura refused to train under Dreamweaver as well, showing solidarity with her brother.

Taldaein, notably, chose to apprentice to the powerful mage. After all, someone in the family had to succeed.

Years passed as Raithe and Illura explored both Evereska and the Dalelands, meeting humans and generally finding them more appealing than their own people. Eventually, Illura was courted by Arion Dreamweaver, Fandral's son. Illura wanted to be with Arion and sought her brother's blessing, hoping to build a bridge between their family and Arion's and someday reconciling with their Taldaein.

Raithe refused.

The ensuing argument drew Arion's attention in defense of his beloved. Angry words lead to blows and it wasn't long before Arion and Raithe were locked in mortal combat. Illura became a casualty of the fight when she defended her brother from Arion's attack. His sister's death so enraged Raithe that he emptied his quiver, firing all of his arrows into the young Dreamweaver.

Taldaein, now a full Wizard in his own right, arrived to find Raithe kneeling over their sister's body and his master's son murdered. It was Taldaein's testimony that damned his brother, though Raithe didn't make it any easier on himself by telling Fandral that his son got what he deserved.

The High Lord of Evereska exiled Raithe rather than kill him, indicating that someone had spoken on his behalf. But Raithe was now forbidden from returning in his lifetime on pain of death.

That was forty years ago.

Raithe spent a decade in the Dalelands as the Drow were coming to the surface. Little mattered to him now than the drive to satisfy himself and drown the guilt at failing his sister. When his meager talents failed to feed him, he resorted to theft and learned he had a talent for it. He'll steal from nearly anyone, especially if they've wronged him, but arcanists earn his greatest ire. The less fortunate receive a small bit of his profits, and sometimes he passes on easy pick-pocketing tasks to younger thieves, as Mask demands.

Now he wanders the Sword Coast in search of larger fortunes to steal and mystic secrets to learn. Secretly, he hopes to find a way to resurrect his sister and return her to Evereska. While he has no use for his family or his people anymore, he has come to recognize what he took from his family in his anger.
