His shaggy blonde hair often falls into his blue eyes, giving him a slightly disheveled yet charming appearance.

Despite his Thayan heritage, he has forged a new path that defies the culture he once knew, using his skills in stealth and illusion for more noble causes. Jareth approaches life with a blend of cunning pragmatism and a subtle, often dark humor. His interactions are marked by a careful balance of charm and wariness, always keeping others at arm’s length while navigating the shadows of trust. This duality makes him both a reliable ally and an unpredictable adversary, constantly walking the fine line between light and darkness.
History
Jareth Krynn was born in Eltbbar, where he trained in the arts of stealth and magic. As a Mulan in Thay, there were expectations that his dabbling in magic would lead him on a particular path of the harsh traditions of his homeland, but his skill in illusion kept his training from becoming common knowledge. His early years were spent mastering the skills as a petty thief and trickster, learning to weave shadows and bend light to his will. Civil War broke out when Jareth was just 15, but he had already become increasingly disillusioned with the cruelty of his homeland. Witnessing firsthand the suffering inflicted on innocents and the ruthless power struggles among the Red Wizards, he realized he would be better served on his own.
Determined to forge his own path, Jareth fled Thay, leaving behind his family and the life he had known. He sought refuge in Sembia, a central trade hub where he could stay under the radar. Adopting the guise of a charlatan, he used his skills to navigate this new society, honing his abilities. Jareth's self-exile was not just a physical escape but a profound transformation of his identity and purpose. He vowed to use his talents to protect the innocent and undermine oppressive forces, embracing a life of constant movement and adaptation. News of dark forces in the kingdom to the west, Cormyr, has sparked his interest to move once again.
