Special Characteristics: Most of the time he is smoking a cigar.

Personality:
Fighting in wars all over the world has made Devlyn a stern man and indifferent towards death and killing and eventually turned him in some sort of a mercenary. Not that he is necessarily evil and has taken a liking towards killing. But if on a job and it is needed to be done he would do it without any hesitation. But he is not some emotionless husk, not at all. He enjoys the casual things of life, like a good burgundian diner with a nice cold beer next it. It's just that he is the kind of man who can do all that and fall soundly asleep when he killed someone. Probably just considering that it was a part of the job. But even though he could easily kill, he has his own honorable code that he would never take on an assassination. For him there is no honor in that, getting paid for just killing an helpless target. He would probably appear as an stern and difficult man towards those who can't grasp around the idea of killing and death. Almost arrogant. Not that he thinks he is better, but that those people are immature if they can't comprehend that death and killing is a part of life as we know it.

Devlyn has an other characteristic that probably would appear frequently. The fact that he is an sore loser. As I said he has his own honorable code, which means that he is a prideful man. And proud enough that he can't accept if he is bested by any tactics that he deems foul. Like for instance paralyzation spells, or hallucinations that messes up the targets mind. This side will also show when he is enraged. Then losing or being bested in what for way hurts his pride.
But when upon defeated and his rage has slimmed down, he can admit that his loss towards the opponent as long as he has fought honorable in his eyes. And would even go to such and extent to congratulate him or her on their victory.

As a mercenary Devlyn has no problems working in groups as well on his own. And would often try to presume to role of an advisor. And won't ever act like a direct leader of a group. When meeting upon other mages, Devlyn won't care if you are a dark or a legal mage. As long as you work efficient, although he prefers to work with people that are same minded as he. Thinking often or even saying out loud that mages that won't kill are childish and immature.
So upon encountering Devlyn doesn't mean that everything goes easy. He can be your opponent and even your nemesis. Or if you have the same goal an ally.
Either way, it will show that Devlyn is a prideful man. That doesn't really side with an faction. And will show determination and cunning during battle. As well as ruthlessness as being indifferent towards killing someone before your eyes.

Likes:
- Cigars, he uses smoke magic. And cigars are his way to manifest that smoke.
- Grand diners, eating good and nice foods is important to him. It is just on of those he really likes.
- Getting paid, nothing says more then a job good completed when he gets paid for them.
Dislikes:
- People who can't grasp that death is a part of life. And that killing is merely a tool.
- His nickname, for some reason his mercenary buddies started to call him 'Birdie'. He find it annoying, cause he takes great value in his real name.
- foul and dishonorable tactics to achieve victory in a one on one battle.
Motivations:
- Fulfilling his jobs, so that he can earn his money. He is a mercenary after all, and for all those money is as important to life itself.
- Just to live to see another day, he doesn't value weeks or months. He is a day by day kinda person.
- An honorable fight.
Fears:
- The day they ban smoking.
- That people forget his real name, and that he will be known only by his nickname 'Birdie'
- A meaningless death, if the darkness would get a hold of him he would prefer to go out fighting. Then instead dying in some bed.
