Ganymede Sunweaver

Ganymede (Lox) is a High Elf wizard and is currently a member of The Wayfarer's Guild. He is on a mission to bring back his husband and uncover the man's mysterious past.

Appearance
When he is not in disguise, he has golden hair, golden eyes, and pointed ears. When travelling he chooses to disguise himself as a human, turning his hair into a less noticeable shade of blond, giving himself human ears and blue eyes. He is currently dressed in a suit, has short hair and always has his magical cape on him. He also uses his wedding ring as an arcane focus. He looks to be the same age as a human teenager. He is of average height and is very skinny. Before he set out on this quest, the only blemish on his body was a scar on his chest from when his bother threw him through a mountain. However, now he has some more scars from his near-death experiences, luckily not on his face.

He is very beautiful, but due to his elf features he is constantly mistaken for a girl. When he is talking to someone, he is almost always smirking.

Personality
Lox is very much a romantic at heart, and loves fairy tales. When he was in Evermeet, he daydreamed all the time and had his head in the clouds. As a result of his upbringing, he was very arrogant and prone to mood swings. He is also extremely vain about his looks, and believes it to be his best quality. After meeting the Wayfarers and adventuring with them, he has let go of quite a lot of his arrogance. He is very loyal to his friends, and will throw his life on the line to fight alongside them. He still holds on hope that he will achieve a fairy tale ending for his marriage. However, he is still vain, easily jealous and racially insensitive.

He has also lost his expectations for honor during fights after meeting with Kalika the hag. Since then, he has been noticeably more unhinged during battle. He aims to inflict pain on his enemies, and likes being a powerful mage as it allows him to use high-level spells to vanquish his foes, and often taunts them before trying to kill them. Outside of battle, he reverts back to his childish and irritating self.

He speaks in a high-pitched and whiny voice.

History
Lox was born 110 years ago in Myth Drannor (Cormanthor) where Elves lived in before the war. He relocated with his family and the other elves to Evermeet 10 years later due to the war. As he was an infant during this time, he has no memories of Myth Drannor.

In Evermeet, he grew up sheltered and spoiled. However his life was also very restricting as he had no friends and was unsupervised only when he was within castle grounds. When he was 108, he met a man in the forest who was revealed to be William Armadeus Wolfgang (Billy). He later married Lox for two years before their relationship was revealed to Arienthil Sunweaver, who tried to have Billy killed. After Billy's disappearance Lox became severely depressed. His siblings, fearing for his safety due to his mental state helped him escape Evermeet.

After his escape, he went to the Great Dale, which is where Billy told him he was from, but he found no trace of Billy. He travelled from place to place until he met Ben, Al and Nightshade on the way to Nightstone.

William Armadeus Wolfgang
Despite being initially wary of the human, Lox was quickly won over by Billy's charm and humor. They shared a mutual interest in arts, and were keen on getting to know each other's culture (though Lox mostly just wanted to know about the outside world). He never suspected that Billy was hiding anything from him, and never doubted their love. Lox wanted to spend as much time with Billy as he could due to humans having short life spans. He was devastated when Billy went missing.

Lox suspected that Gon was Billy due to multiple coincidences lining up; his love for fairy tales, his amnesia, his crush on Lox and him being a strange kobold in general. His suspicions were confirmed when Gon passed out at hearing Lox's real name and it was revealed that his memories were suppressed through some mysterious magic. Lox is trying to gain Gon's affection, and trying to remove the magic from his mind (though Gon is unaware of this).

Although Lox accepts the possibility that Billy could have been Hovel, he will never admit it out loud and will fight anyone who suggests it.

The Sunweavers
All things considered, Lox had a fairly good relationship with his family. Due to the war, the relocation, and overseeing of Evermeet, his family has been extremely busy and had little time for him. Since the duty of overseeing Evermeet was passed down from Arienthil to Aerin, neither of them have any time to themselves, much less Lox. His older brother Lucien is often away from Evermeet on various missions.

Lox is Arienthil's favorite child, and was often told that he was far too good for any elf in Evermeet, and discouraged to be friendly towards other people. Due to him being the golden child, he had no responsibilities and was constantly seen to by a multitude of servants and guards. The only time he ever raised his voice at Lox was after finding out about his marriage. He was also on good terms with his older brother, despite Lucien allegedly throwing him through a mountain when Lox was an infant and throwing him into a lake later on to teach him how to swim. Lucien would always bring him gifts when he visited home from missions. Lox's mother has been ill since the war, and is often not in possession of her own mind. Due to this, Lox wasn't able to form a proper bond with her. However, in rare moments of lucidity, she would often call out for Lox.

Lox is the closest to his sister. She was the only one in the family that he contacted during his travels. She also has Lox's best interests at heart, keeping him hidden through magic from anyone their father might send after him, asking him if he ate whenever he contacted her, and expressing relief at the news that he made friends. Aerin gave Lox a magical flute imbued with a teleportation spell that he can use in a life or death scenario.

The Wayfarer's Guild
Lox is very close with most of the current guild members. He considers Al a brother, and truly believed Al could be the warden of Ilmater. He was willing to fight against Eliezer Proctor to support Al. He trusts Al and will often go to him for advice. Similarly, he is also close with Yen, who is like Lox in having a childish personality and being somewhat maniacal. They will often annoy people together. Lox and HD have an understanding between them, and their missions seem to be somewhat tied together, with The Rat King and Billy's connections to the Dead Rats. HD is the only one Lox has revealed Gon's real identity to.

He has a complicated relationship with Ben. They used to bicker when the party first started out, and later Lox wanted to be as close to him as he is to Al. Lox admires Ben's work ethic and battle tactics. However, Ben is detached to everyone around him, so Lox has decided to give him his space.

After finding out about Hovel's role in the destruction of Archor, and Billy's connection to Hovel, Lox feels a sense of responsibility towards Nightshade to uncover the truth about what happened 5 years ago.

Zephyros
As they are both wizards, Lox and Zephyros bonded during his time in the flying tower. Zephyros gifted Lox with spell scrolls and notes when it was time for the party to leave. He deeply cares for Zephyros and often considers sending him a message, before reminding himself of Zephyros's warning about the dangers of contacting him.

Rendaril
A half elf Lox met during his time in Bryn Shander. Rendaril has a shop that sells magical items and helped the party trick the giants during their attack on the town. He knows Lox's true identity and gave him a necklace of disguise elf so that Lox's secret would be safe. He also gave Lox a sending stone so that he could contact him.

The Harpers
Lox has struck a friendship between two members of the Harpers; Malve Oatgloom and Phillipe Williams Mountbatten Esquire. Malve Oatgloom is an undercover Harpers agent pretending to be an ordinary wizard called Sandyse Thunderquill who owns a magic shop called Alda's Scrolls. Within the attic of the shop, she guards a teleportation circle the party can utilize to travel to other locations. Malve knows of Lox's true identity, which gives her anxiety. She would often get blackout drunk with Lox. She has a crush on Lucien Sunweaver.

Phillipe Williams Mountbatten Esquire is the owner of The Silvery Stars, a high-end clothing store in Neverwinter. He gave Lox a haircut and made him suits made from magical self-mending fabric. He is a real gentleman, carries a cane and is always decked out in a sharp suit. He is a tiefling. During Neverwinter's siege, Lox and Al ran into Hyperion at The Sivery Stars, who then proceeded to blow up the store. During the altercation that followed, Mountbatten revealed himself to be a Harper's member who called himself 'The Conductor'. It is unknown why Hyperion sought out Mountbatten.

Midius
A mysterious half elf who the party sometimes calls The Cosmic Man. He appears out of nowhere and disappears in much the same way. Lox and HD met him on their journey to meet the Oracle. He was kind to Lox, gave him spiced wine from Evermeet and told him that Billy was a lot closer to Lox than he thought (Billy's transformation to Gon was not known at the time). He also told Lox that finding Billy while he was in an altered state would not result in any happiness for Lox.

Yen and Al have yet to meet Midius.

Cult of the Dragon
Formerly known as The Bureau of Licensing, this party of hooligans tried to enslave Lox near Nightstone because they thought he was a girl. Afterwards, they went through character arcs themselves and ended up in the cult of the dragon where they serve Clauth. The party met with them after Lox and Ben saved Adrestia (Klauth's daughter), and the cult has helped the party a few times.

Delsephine, leader of this group, had a crush on Lox.

Powers and Skills
As a wizard, Lox has the ability to cast many spells, though none of them have any healing abilities. His wizard class also allows him to learn spells through scrolls, though this requires a lot of gold. A lot of his spells are utility based. As he gets stronger, he is able to cast spells that deal a lot of damage, as evident in his fight against Loki. He also has a few spells specifically selected to help him run away from battles.

His abjuration abilities give him a protection ward that can negate some damage dealt to him and his allies. He also has a few magical items on him; a cape of the trickster he got after killing an Oni, Gon's mage armor, and a necklace of disguise.

His racial abilities include:

Keen Senses: proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry: advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, and magic can’t put Lox to sleep.

Trance: Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”)
