    Left with 50 rupees from Rupee Riches ability

    Height: 5'5

    Weight: 130 pounds

    Equipment:
    He owns a grappling hook he uses to scale walls and break into houses to help relieve them of their rupees. He also uses this for battle occasionally, to damage foes with its clawed end or bring them closer so he can move in for the kill.

    He also owns twin curved daggers that look dangerous and deadly. The hilts are a dark black and the blade sheathed in a dark leather case, hiding the metallic sheen that could give him away until its too late. He uses these to fight with as his last defense, although he usually prefers hiding in the shadows and letting things sort themselves out. He's decent in a battle and doesn't lack for courage, but he does keep his wits about him and makes sure to distinguish courage from suicidal stupidity.

    Appearance:
    Seth is usually attired in all black when he's out adventuring or for a midnight stroll. In another person's house. Carefully removing their pesky rupees and valuables for them. He wears a strange mask that darkens his face and has two grotesque eyes staring out. He claims it helps him stay alert on the jobs that force him to stay awake for days at a time. When completely attired in his usual outfit he is unrecognizable to all, keeping his true identity safe. He also likes to pull schemes on others, and acts as a con-artist during the day.

    He dresses very professionally and leaves no hint of the messy-haired, dark-garbed thief that stalks in the night when in daylight. He uses his silver tongue to convince the rich to fall for his schemes in which he cons large amounts of money from them. Or manages to get invited to places so he can scope it out and blatantly take everything during the night. He tends to wear a green suit with combed back hair and a charismatic smile when in this guise.

    Residence: He has a hideout in Darunia although he often stays in the mansions of the rich as a guest or sneaks in when no one's home.

    Backstory:
    Seth was a thief ever since he was a child. In those days he was not Seth, but went by the name Falon. He told himself that if people could not protect their rupees, they did not deserve them. He followed this philosophy with great vigor, making up grandiose lies to other boys in Darunia and managing to get their lunch money and accumulated quite a stash. Later he found an even more risky and rewarding pursuit: blatant thievery. Instead of planning for weeks on how he was going to convince someone that he was indeed sent to collect debts owed, he now realized he could simply take what he wanted.

    He had very little in the way of morals, even killed to evade capture. He soon saw others wealth as extensions of his own and knew that if he wanted to transfer it from their wallet to his it would happen. He began to become bored of petty theft and began making larger and larger schemes. Soon he reached too high and was caught.

    At that time Darunia was a hostile place. Neighbors turned against their neighbors in an effort to stop the thefts that were going on. He knew he was likely to get caught someday, but never expected it to be so soon.

    Whilst raiding the mansions of a rather rich person he was spotted by a sleepy butler and once found out had guards set on him. He managed to narrowly evade capture by diving out of a window into a pond below, narrowly missing life in prison and a broken neck. When returning to his home he found his home had become an ambush by guards who had learned of his doings by the witnesses back at the mansion. He knew his efforts had come to a halt and began to run from the guards.

    He ran for miles, and soon became completely out of breath and exhausted. The guards were right behind him, in spite of his run fueled by desperation. Finally seeing he had run himself on a cliff above Lake Hylia he turned back to the guards. They ordered him to halt, and he tiredly realized that there was nothing else he could do. He collapsed to the ground as they approached him and he saw a vision of his promising life shrivel up and rot in a prison.

    Realizing the horror of a life confined, he jumped up, startling the advancing guards. He ran as fast as he could and leapt off into the lake. In the dark, the guards searched for him, but never managed to catch him. He awoke the next day on the shore, startled to be alive and found a strange mask half buried in sand next to him. Thanking his good luck once again for keeping him alive and out of prison he examined the mask. It was a strange black thing with bulging eyes that seemed to be open so wide that they peered into his soul.

    Donning the mask as a disguise he quickly realized that though the feeling of fatigue remained, he no longer had any desire to sleep and used this advantage when he became a shadow in the night when he had stayed up the day before as well. He became Seth Furon, the well-respected man who helped in business deals and provided capital for investments. In reality he conned many who were too embarrassed at their humiliation to speak out against him and funded shady deals whose legality was definitely disputed.

    He became a member of the thieves guild, yet despite a few forays into the lost woods and his 'donation' to become a member, he rarely visits the fortress or works with other thieves in the guild. He prefers to go alone and make his own way, joining the guild only so they wouldn't turn him in and to make sure no one else was thieving the same places he was. He does not care for their rules and often disobeys them while under his guise in black.

    Today he finds himself rich again and lucky as ever. He now has decided to travel abroad, as his name is starting to be said more and more frequently in the wrong circles. He decided to let things cool down at his home town before rumors start and destroy his reputation. He's gotten by on blackmail, contacts, bribes, and luck so far. Today, however, he doesn't want to stretch his already stretched luck. Now he's off looking for excitement, adventure, and of course rupees in the depths of Hyrule.

    Hmm. For some reason I get the feeling you didnt' read the history and background of Darunia and the Lost Woods. The thieves there protect the Town, and have a fortress in the Lost Woods. It would have been nice to see you tie in the story some how.

    I kinda skimmed it... Just read that part of the storyline and edited Seth to fit it a bit more.
