Background
Arquive
Arquive was a Drow before he was captured by a Illithid out searching for Hosts for their Larvae to be implanted in. He was quickly overwhelmed with the Mindflayers mindblast and his sorcerer spells. He was aware, although unable to move or cry out as he was dragged back to the Illithid community. He saw the Tadpole that was to be implanted into him and he felt the entire transformation as it ripped his body apart and remade it. He even felt his brain change, although he didn't lose his sense of self. He saw others change as well. But when they had physically transformed they weren't themselves anymore, they had Become the Mind Flayers. He had no idea why he hadn't lost himself, but He was afraid that he still would or that if the others found out he would be killed. So he copied the actions of the other Illithid around him until he could find a way to escape. He wasn't sure of where he would go so He headed back to the Drow City of Menzoberranzan. After returning to his position as a Wizard he continued to learn until one day he went on an errand for spell components in the Underdark.
While he was posing as a Drow a Vampire jumped upon him and turned him, He didn't even know it was coming not yet being able to sense the thoughts of the Undead, He wouldn't be able to do that until he himself had risen as a Vampire. He thought this a lucky but double sided turn of events as this saved him from having to search for a means to Immortality but also left him Unable to Act Freely against the Vampires Orders. But he quickly turned the situation around when he used his superior intellect to quickly trap his Sire under un-winable odds. After having dispatched his Sire he quickly left to pursue his Arcane teachings. After Ascending from the Underdark he heard of an Undead Blight spreading across the Continent. He thought this would be a great opportunity to strengthen himself and his spellcasting, So off he headed towards what he heard was a great Surface city, Waterdeep.
