Mira

Mirark is a tiefling warlock who joined Grokko, Kham and Vichthart in investigating the deaths and disappearances of multiple people in Kaarst. He is 1.70 m tall, with white skin, purple hair and yellow eyes, and usually goes by the shorter name Mira. He has the traditional horns and classic devilish tail of a tiefling, although he keeps these hidden under his robes. His new friends often jokingly refer to him as a catboy, despite not actually having any feline features. When Vichthart first met Mira, being slightly tipsy and having recently fought demons on an island, he asked his friends why there was a demon with them.

Mira comes from the far away country of Dhintay, although only Grokko has been told its name. Nearly one decade ago he lost someone important to him, another tiefling who was taken from their home against their will. After receiving a tip to find ‘The Tide’, he travelled to Kaarst where he was ambushed by a gang of seven humans who tried to fleece him for his money and valuables. They were easily scared away or knocked unconscious by his powerful arcane magic, but it attracted the attention of Grokko and Kham, who warned him not to let his magic be known publicly in this city. They took him back with them to The Copper Roost to meet Vichthart, and after learning that they were all looking for missing persons, decided to work together.

Mira's magical powers are granted by his patron, Etaf, a being who is bound to the inside of a gold ring that Mira wears, and can occasionally retreat inside. Etaf wants him to find who imprisoned him in the ring so he can be free, and has advised him to begin by finding out more about the people Mira took the ring from. He has also pointed out to Mira that his new friends do not yet trust him, and he would be wise to do more to win them over. Immediately after this, Mira spent the day trying to be as close and kind to Kham as possible, who he perceived as the most hostile of his new accomplices, all to Kham's infuriation. As well as somehow entering the ring, Mira has also shown the abilities to black out a large area, levitate, to teleport himself and another a short distance, and to fire eldritch blasts.

Mira also has an extraordinary ability to move about undetected, which the party has encouraged him to do at certain times, but he has also tended to do this while separating from them unannounced, resulting in their confusion and frustration. He also has a habit of taking anything he can for himself, including items from Kobolwitz Manor, a crime scene they were investigating under official instructions. Sometimes these behaviours have backfired, as Mira has been attacked by a mimic and been injured by trapped mechanisms, as well as received significant criticism from his companions. When he asked if he could take items from Irann Rhogar's house, however, Sable Warden Meriele Berevan remarked with the slightest of grins that it would be appropriate to use his wealth to try to stop him. He has also successfully detected a hidden passageway underneath Squall's Beacon, hurried the party unseen through the back alleys of Kaarst, and distracted devil guards by talking to them in their native infernal language.

Vastren showed interest in Mira, noticing that his bloodline was not like that of the humans and elves she'd met. She called him a liar when he gave his name as ‘Mirark’, only believing him when he gave his name as ‘Arkmir’. Only Vichthart overheard this, and has not mentioned it to anyone. Conversely, only Mira was with Kham when he met and talked with Elira Lein, who called him ‘Anrel’ and was surprised to realize he'd been using the pseudonym ‘Kham’, the name of a mutual acquaintance. He has promised Kham not to mention any part of the conversation to anyone else.

Mira's body was recently changed to present as female by a mirror contraption created by Toross Rhistel, Master of Transmutation at the Acropolis of Kereskaa, in the catacomb beneath the Spire of Transmutation. His body was also shrunken to the size of a halfling, although this reverted on its own. His body has remained female throughout his fight against the bone devil.
