Roderick Vydrina

"So how many houses does a guy have to burgle to get a cell around here?"

Background
A Vascian born in Silver City, Roderick is a thief by trade, stealing from wealthy people that he does not like. As he himself was born into poverty, he often takes pity on the poor, which ultimately led to the adoption of twelve orphan children that he provides for with his burglaries.

Roderick is known for his jovial manner and silver tongue which, depending on the person, makes him friends and enemies very quickly.

Involvement With Luthien Crask
Due to his prowess at stealing from the wealthy, Roderick Vydrina became a well-known name in Silver City, eventually catching the eye of Luthien Crask, a criminal kingpin. Roderick repeatedly rejected Crask's offers to work for his organization, as he sees Crask as the worst kind of scum humanity has to offer.

Eventually, Crask forced Roderick into service by kidnapping one of his adopted orphans, promising to release her only when he had stolen a valuable crystal necklace that was on its way to Crystal Water City. Roderick complied, but after tricking Loric Talarius (then a Ko-Sai of the Silver Bulls ) into crashing the scene of the transaction, he was able to save the young girl and ultimately return the crystal necklace to its rightful owner.

Drinking Songs
As a hobby, Roderick likes to write drinking songs, including:
 * If I Had 10,000 Gold
 * Last Night
 * Whiskey Goggles
 * The Widow Crenshaw
 * You'll Never Take My Booze
