Njord Bystrom

It is foolish the claim that in the shadows there lurk no fiends, or villans. But the kings and Leaders of the current era have proven that they are much more than that. They dismiss the Theives guild as a lie, yet those convicted of association with the guild are still killed by the shooting line"

Rise to power
The son of famed Theif and Assassin Verisae Windblade, Njord took charge of the ruined guild after the murder of his father at the beggining of the Shadows Fist conspiracy. Some ten years after his fathers murder, at the age of 17, he killed William Presmote, the man responsible for orphaning Njord. With Presmote dead, the guild was at Njord's full disposal. He would see many changes in the guild, including the construction of it's first official guild hall.

The Assassins division also began to take off now that the Shadows Fist were out of the way. Their downfall also convinced the young Vessonian Republic that the guild died with them. The Rotharians, however, knew the guild far to well to fall for that.
