Born into an Elven family of thieves and spies, Ein' Cad sought to make a name for himself early on. When the opportunity arose to join the Obsidian Network and work to free his kin from the tyranny of the Netherese he jumped at the chance. He has since proven to be a gifted smuggler and spy. He has been able to make quite a sum for the Network smuggling contraband magic items and knowledge into, and out of, Netherese territory, all while collecting intelligence.
He uses several aliases when travelling to various regions, most commonly Daac Cien.
