Alehat, a Sly Slide - Playing Dangerous Games with Rook (Blades in the Dark)

Characters Without Stories

Rook brings Dale Dorries, AKA Alehat to the table. Alehat is a greedy, rotten scoundrel feeding his retirement fund with ill-gotten gains.

Rook and I discuss filling a role in a party, using characters to try out game mechanics, and being out for yourself.

This character is built for Blades in the Dark.

Roger Peters, who also goes by Rook, is the owner of Epic Sages, a multi-TTRPG focused hosting site. He’s played and/or ran various TTRPGs for over 15 years.
