Steiner Arrek

Steiner is a rune knight, formerly in the service of the Githyanki queen Vlaakith.

History
During a raid on the Material Plane, Steiner's airship was brought down on the cliffs of a snowy mountain. The entire crew was lost, save for Steiner who was thrown clear of the wreckage during the crash. He was found by a pair of young giants, who took pity on him and nursed him back to health. Unwilling to face the shame of returning to his own kind in defeat, he stayed with the giants and learned the ways of a rune knight. He gradually began to question his allegiance to Vlaakith and started to search for a deeper meaning in life. He left the giants to travel the Material Plane, where he found himself in the service of many different churches, lords, and mercenary crews. He found his true place in the world as the sworn sword of Princess Deyla, whom he saw as his own daughter.

Encountering The Party
At some point, Deyla was kidnapped by Cuckold the Crow who imprisoned her in his Mind Mansion. Steiner began traveling with Ishmael Tingleguy in an effort to find some way to rescue her. They came upon The Party, who agreed to help. Together, they traveled into Cuckold the Crow's mind and freed Deyla. Unfortunately, her mind had been utterly broken by the torture she had endured. Steiner vowed to find some way to help her and joined The Party, believing them to be strong and capable.

The Silver Empire
Steiner joined The Party's ambush on the Turtleshell Pirates, but tried to negotiate with them instead of attacking. He joined Bavin Dreamroot in testifying against Don Bon, as he had witnessed Don eat a captive pirate while transformed into a shark.
