Diath Woodrow, a human rogue, is one of the characters in Dice, Camera, Action, and played by ProJared.
Appearance
Diath is a lean human with brown hair. He has a ropeburn scar around his neck from an incident in Barovia.[1] He appears to be 18 years old, but he is actually 10 years older than that due to the effects of a magic potion.
Background
Diath was born and raised in Waterdeep to a family that worked hard to get by. They weren't rich, but they also weren't poor. Until, that is, his family home was robbed.
From there it was a struggle to survive every day. Diath did odd jobs wherever he could, and on especially unfortunate days, he resorted to begging on the streets.
When Diath was a beggar, a mysterious person gave him the key ring.[2]
He's long forgotten their face, but this was when one cloaked figure simply placed a set of keys into his hands instead of a copper piece. At the time, he did not know what the keys were for.
Eventually, Diath found himself in a tavern where a bunch of adventurers were throwing money around and bragging about their recent exploits. They saved a town called Phlan, and more recently, they killed a bunch of gnolls.
Diath decided to go and check out the gnoll lair, hoping to scavenge stuff they missed. He found a pouch. In it was an amethyst. It was only worth a couple of gold, but he considers it his most precious treasure. Diath had discovered a new path in life that could help him survive. [3]
One day, Diath was having lunch on a rooftop. In the crowd below, and he saw a "black mass" moving among the people of Waterdeep. It was Strix, who was living on the streets. He noticed that the people in the crowd were either avoiding or ignoring her.
He could see that she was hungry, so over the next few days, he started leaving her food anonymously. When he first tried to engage her, she cast a firebolt at him.
Strix and Diath traveled together for a few years having small adventures to fund their meager lifestyle. They eventually met the rest of the waffle crew at the Rusty Pommel.[4]
Personality
Adventure and challenges are better than riches. Calm, collected, quick-thinking. Diath likes to think that he can get out of any situation quickly and smoothly.
- Ideal: Seeking forgotten or lost riches is what Diath lives for.
- Bond: Everyone else's well-being is more important than my own.
- Flaw: I am physically weak and want to avoid confrontation.
- "I do not steal, pickpocket, or rob others."[5]
Adventuring quickly became Diath's steadiest form of income. He does not desire fortune, but rather the tales and experiences he acquires from going on adventures. Any valuable gem, jewel, or trinket he discovered he kept for himself as a memento of how far he's come.
As a victim of petty theft himself, Diath refuses to outright steal. Diath has no interest in breaking into homes, cutting purses in the streets or taking from other citizens struggling to get by. For him, uncovering long-forgotten artifacts is far more valuable than any amount of coin.
Known Relatives
It has been revealed that Diath has two ancestors:
- Ashton (Father?) was an adventurer, apparently a rogue. He was friends with a half-orc/half-dwarf who eventually tracked down Diath and gave him Gutter, a magic sword passed down the Woodrow line.
- Dareth (Mother? Grandmother?) is who was originally given the sword by its creator, Shemeshka the Marauder. Dareth apparently lived in the city of Sigil.
Key Events
Here are some of the major events in Diath's adventuring life so far.
Hanging
Diath was hanged for murdering a guard in Vallaki.[6] He came back to life as a spirit that inhabited Paultin.[7] Eventually, he was raised from the dead by the Abbot.[8] He has a permanent rope burn scar around his neck as a result of this incident.
Dark Pact
When Strix was slain by a vampire spawn in the Amber Temple, Diath made a pact with Zhudun the Corpse Star. It gave him the power to cast resurrection, but it also slowly turned him into a ghoul. [9]This eventually led to Diath eating part of Falkon's corpse.[10] He was able to cure this condition by drinking a mixture of wine and Saint Markovia's ashes.[11]
Murder of Arabelle
Van Richten convinced Diath to kill a little vistani girl with the hag pin. While it was done as part of a ritual to defeat Strahd, Diath was devastated over what he had done.[12]
