Drake

Mahindra Drake is a dark blue Yuan-Ti Abomination that lives in the Arete Household. He originally hails from the town of Transvale, some days travel out of Waypoint. He is 11 years old.

During an RP Event, he hid in town to escape a mob of people from his home town. He was caught trying to hide his most treasured possession (his viol), and explained his situation: he was originally a human child, and had been cursed by a witch named Jufire into becoming a Yuan-Ti Abomination 3 months prior. His parents, having not recognised the snake person as their own child, organised the town guard and chased him out of town. After some coaxing from members of the Order, he was convinced to stay.

He stays in Aethel's room most days, and practices his viol. He techincally attends school in Waypoint, by standing outside the window and taking notes without entering, as he believes few children would be as accepting as the adults were, and noting his prior poor outcomes with the children in his home town. Thanks to Aethel, however, they now attend classes and do very well.

Additionally, Ed has provided them with a ring of polymorph (obtained during mission "The Pillaging of Applebury Glen"), and they use the ring to transform into a small girl in most public places.

Thanks to Aethel, Drake has begun attending school, and excels in many subjects.

Another person from Transvale, his only friend's father, Dilon Summers, came to the town with Lillith (his son) in order to hunt down and kill Drake. Quinn and Alexander arrested him for child stalking, endangerment and conspiracy to commit murder, and threw him in jail, separating him from his son, who met up with and embraced Drake. The two of them are now inseparable.

Dilon made comments in earshot of the party members during Quest "It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding", but while escaping during Quest "Stuck in the Top Hand Corner", he was murdered at the hands of Retribution. His wife, Ophelia, sent a message to the town asking for help to fight off Jufire, which was responded to by 2 adventurers (Quest "We Get It, You Vape"). During the mission, the party encountered a figure by the name of Kingston Drake, who gave Jorick a note telling them to "Give that to my son, and take care of him." before leaving.

During RP, Jorick delivered the note to Mahindra, who revealed the note was a promise of help for Mahindra from his father, who Mahindra notes he hasn't seen in a while.

During Quest Daggademons, Jorick and Narinam teamed up with Kingston to find the materials for fighting Jufire, stealing a locating stone from the Waypoint treasury and a knife from a demon-filled basement in the ruins of Kent. However, Narinam released Kingston's inner beast, and they only just make it out before Kingston reverts to his wolfish form.

During Quest I can be scary sometimes, a party of adventurers, along with a resolved Kingston, hunted down and killed Jufire in a close battle, where many were downed, and Kingston almost died. After a small period of time where Jufire's residual magic turned the newly-uncursed Mahindra invisible, Mahindra was fixed, and Kingston and Mahindra embraced for the first time in almost a year.

His favourite food is Peach Cobbler.

Epilogue:
Kingston took in Lillith as their son and, now with a bit of coin from odd jobs, purchased a house for the 3 of them. They remain in Waypoint to this day, and Kingston still refuses to tell his son and their friend about his other side.
