Description

by ameba of Deviant Art

Personality

A sneaky naughty terrible thief of a man, who loves to devilishly run around taking things from individuals pockets. But nothing makes him happier then others misery.

Equipment

One must keep their head if they hope to succeed in this world.


Skills
George Herbert wrote:Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Master Thief
Beings a thief, Balthazar is a well practiced mastery of theft. He has practiced for many years to be deft of hand, quick of mind and sharp of reflexes. But his theft often doesn't just extend to items and money...
Bladesmaster
Being a duke of extreme renown, Balthazar find himself a deadly competent man when armed with anything sharper then a comb.


Magic
Tom Robbins wrote:Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

Stealth
The first thing a thief should learn is how to make themself unseen, but often that isn't enough. Making themself literally invisible helps.
Illusion
To discern what is real and what is not is difficult when illusion comes to the palms of a dangerous man.
Duplication
Duplication is a deadly skill. Having more then one of you is simply invaluable, no matter how skilled an opponent you face.
Dispel
Capable of cancelling out other magics, though more complex spells cannot be overridden so easily.
Cantrips
Cantrips are the simplest of magics and they include the ability of...
  • Can create sounds as loud and as quiet as the caster likes within ten feet
  • Causes a targetted person or object to shed light
  • Summoning a spectral hand which can lift up 20 pounds of weight.
  • Create a small sensory effect, such as shower of spark, puff of wind, faint music or a strong odour
  • Change the colour of objects
  • Chill, warm or flavour non-living material for an hour.
  • Instantly light or snuff out a candle, torch or a small campfire.
  • Make a small mark appear on a surface for an hour.
  • Make something small and handheld invisible for a short while.
  • Produce something small that exists for a short while
Most cantrips cannot be used as a weapon or tool.
Theft Beyond
Perhaps one of the most dangerous tricks Balthazar alone (or at least where is from) has managed to learn is how to steal things beyond the reach of other people. As strange as it might sound, he has been able to steal anything from emotions to innocence to information to souls themselves. Sometimes he steals voices too, but that's just for fun.


Equipment
Robert Hughes wrote:A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.

Mask
The mask can change shape and form to fit any features the owner would like. This allows them to quickly blend into a crowd and change themself entirely on the move.

Shattered Sword
The shattered sword feeds from magic stored in equipment. When it strikes, it has a good chance to remove enchantments and augments blessed upon items of any sort. Also, whenever it strikes a piece of metal or wood it sends a powerful shattering effect through the weapon resulting in fractures or splintering and eventually the equipments destruction. Some relics are immune to the effects of his sword, being so tightly bound and powerfully ancient that they cannot be shattered or have their enchantments stolen, but only particularly potent ones.

Shoes
The shoes make no sound, no matter how hard they hit an object.

So begins...

The entrance was silent, not a sound made but the swishing of clothes as Balthazar Winchester entered the bar, gloved hands neatly in pockets. These silent steps carry him to the bartender, a few words passed as well as some coins before turning to face the other direction. Naturally, the bar tender did not go looking for a drink for him.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh blinks at Van Reily's request. "Whatever is that?" he asks, then with a sigh nods. "I'll go do this thing." As he takes three steps away his mask shifts into the face of a middle aged man with a receeding hairline and grey bits around the edges. He promptly returns to his seat, a quick illusion changing the colour of his suit. He calls upon a single cantrip and let's it go.

A small ghostly hands runs along the floor like hands do, ending up behind Tear Hitsuki and quickly rising up to pocket height. The ghostly hand reaches for her pocket subtly to try and take something, anything of real value as a grin spreads across Balthazar's features.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh was far far away, at the counter even, from which he gives a friendly wave towards Tear, the ghostly hand disappating, its purpose well since served. Once more he looked like a middle aged man with a receeding hairline. There was no real way to tell his actual original features. He also smelt distinctly like sulphur.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh orders a renewed ghostly hand to float up behind Tear and tap her on the shoulder, safely sitting at the counter. Like he was going to approach her after she practically threatened that mans life.

The accent quickly falls away with the quick response, "That's all I need to know. Thanks." He stands up, pausing to glance at Shen. "Oh dearest stranger, whatever is the matter with you?" His face actually changes from a middle aged man to that of a much younger, more handsome one, with neatly laid blond hair combed to one side and a chisselled jaw. "Could it be, you're threatening me? Oh whatever will I do," he cries dramatically.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh summons a ghostly hand to give Shen a light slap an the arse as he turns to walk away. Cantrips were the worlds greatest form of magic.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh enters the bar not stepping over, but stepping on Willaim Pharo as he progresses across the room. Today he wore the features of a wisened and elderly man, but still with a determination on his features. He had short whisps of a mustache and a short white beard to match and he whistled pleasantly. "Ho hum, what fortunes await me today."

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh turned his elderly features to face Gabriel Ghostrunner with a friendly smile, one hand reaching up to idly straighten one of his mustache whisps. "Good day to you boy," he offers in a friendly, but aged tone.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh offered a grin. "You know... you know boy I haven't been here in eight years and I don't think a thing has changed," he says with a laugh, which breaks into coughing. He tastefully takes out a kerchief with a shaking hand to cover his mouth. Lowering it, he was still smiling.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh nods. "You have a good day sonny. You seem like a good kid." He didn't mean it in a condescending way, no, old people usually referred to younger people by names like 'boy' as compliments to their youth. He makes his way over to the counter where he settles himself down next to Myde.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh lifts the water to his mouth and drinks, then clears his throat. "Thank you, boy. Do you have a name?" he asks, resting his shaky hands on the counter top. In truth, the entire thing was an elaborate act, instigated via illusion and years of practice impersonating people.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh nods slowly. "I am Balthazar, the old," he says with a chuckle. "Many years of experience are stacked behind that name though. Just because many old folks ramble on about nothing of importance doesn't mean you can't find wisdom in their words."

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh shakes his head. "No offence sonny. Did you know that, in my day I was the greatest thief who lived? They say I could steal the socks from a mans feet while he was wearing shoes." He chuckles, then coughs once more before reaching for his water.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh nods. "Indeed I was boy. But stealing material goods is still nothing compared to stealing the immaterial. There are things more valuable then a pair of socks. Things you can't hold in your hands." He was smiling the entire time.

Balthazar Winchester the Seventh chuckles. "When you can steal things that you can't touch, it doesn't matter what it is. Back in the day I'm sure I could take the music you're playing right now. But the problem is the immaterial always tries to go back to where it came from, and you can't exactly stop it."
