Elthamiel is a master dancer, once a former lead performer in a troupe of wandering entertainers, though these days he is more often found teaching aristocratic youths a variety of dances, both courtly and performative. His reputation and resume opens many doors to him, though it also puts him in uncomfortable position when he gets entangled in noble intrigues, most often small affairs (often literal affairs), though sooner or later, someone might wish to leverage his personage for something bigger.

Elthamiel lives for the limlight of the stage and the thrilling trembling of the dance floor, though he also adores courtly life and all of its pleasures. All of them. He also happens to be easy to push around, with little courage or ability to stand for oneself (which explains why he so often finds himself in rather passive roles in various courtly plots). Regardless, he is most discreet unless really pressed with the combination of right questions and threats.

New Feat: Graceful Dancer

You are really good at moving with grace and agility.

Benefit: You can apply either your Dexterity or your Charisma modifiers to Acrobatics and Perform (dance) checks. You treat both skills as class skills.
