Weaponary/Powers
Like all Drow Elves, Zathul is capable of infrasion in the dark, at a 60' distance. However, this is balanced by the fact that the sun is incredibly blinding to him, because of his long life underground.
His chain mail armor and buckler, however, are of drow make, extremely powerful magic equipment. They have been inlaid with powerful magics that, unlike most drow equipment, prevent their decay in sunlight. He also has a pair of boots that he calls "Boots of the Spider". Other than their fantastic make, they serve onle one use - to turn Zathul into a giant, poisonous spider for two hours every day, if he so desires.
Zathul's choice of weapons is a slightly curved sabre, also of drow make, and also immune to the sun. He also uses a dagger, sometimes at the same time, that has pockets of venom in the hilt that he uses very often when desperate.
History
Zathul was born into a high-class Drow family, so therefore was trained extensively both in combat (to keep the honor of his family alive through the blood of surface elves), and in the history of his people. He soon excelled at both, and became a teacher of drow elven lore and sabre fighting.
However, his luck turned dry when, at random, he was chosen for sacrifice to the spider queen Lloth, the drow elven god. Only his excellent fighting ability kept him alive at all, and he fled to the surface where it was safe. However, surface dwellers, especially elves, were even less hospitable than the drow. His people were known for their frequent raids, and slaughtering anybody who came into their lands. Zathul, however, was very much the sterotype of his people, and did little to sway the surface dwellers of their decision.

OOC Notes
I needed an enemy for Artea, and wanted to make a Drow Elven character... what you see is the result =)
Truth be told, I'm not sure whether or not to actually roleplay with him, or just use him for my writings... hmm...
