Born into the Lap of Luxury by being the Son of Ambassador Venc de Wraak of Dale, Venson had a very easy life growing up. He spent all of his childhood studying from various teachers of different knowledge and art, getting a prestigious education. He also proved to be very skilled in the art of Fencing, both sword and dagger, showing prominent speed with both.
He grew bored in his mid-teens of his current lifestyle and decided he needed a different type of excitement and thrill, so he began to steal from the many politicians he would meet through his father, knowing he'd never be suspected.
He got well acquainted with a band of local thieves, known as the Dead Scholars Society, in Dale, namely their leader, the notorious Master Thief DeMarc. DeMarc took him under his wing and made him his Prodigy, teaching him all that he knew; i.e.- The nefarious arts of Tip-Running(Running without making a noise), scaling walls, tight rope walking, sleight of hand, being a Master of Disguise, patience, and all around discipline. DeMarc began to grow old and decided to retire, but wished for his legacy to flourish. Once he thought Venson was ready, he started to deal with larger scores. Naturally, he began growing a name for himself, so the mysterious thief 'Nihils' was born to avoid ruining his father's greatly respected name and to take the heat off DeMarc. Considering his mother is an artist, he was always quite fond of art. So, Venson's main points of interests were stealing paintings, jewels, prized possessions, and weaponry.
When 'Nihils,' Venson becomes much more animated as his appearance changes drastically and guises his voice with a mock Gondorian or Rhorric accent. He is known for speaking in riddles sometimes, along with being quite flamboyant with his body language, dancing and flailing about. He uses a lot of hand gestures when he speaks. He normally tends to wear a mask, but when he doesn't.. He puts on facial hair, wig, and sports an eye patch, though nothing is wrong with his eye.
As stated, he is not doing this for the money, as he is already quite wealthy. He does it for the rush it gives him. The Thrill! He has set himself out into the many realms of Middle Earth to prove that he is the BEST thief in all the Lands! He has recently settled into Bree-Land after hearing that it is much more harder to be a thief there, seeking refuge with a crooked bunch that loiter the Comb and Wattle Inn in Combe.
As for Venson's reasoning of being there, his Father wished for him to complete an internship with Mayor Graeme Tenderlach of Bree Town, hoping his son will follow his profitable and noble steps of becoming a Politician. So far, Venson has met a few people upon his visits in the renowned Prancing Pony Inn, but mainly keeping to the Town Hall or the Scholar's Stairs.
Nihils has never revealed his true identity to anyone other than the members of the 'D.S.S.' and probably will not, as it makes things all the more interesting for him on his travels. Living a double life suits him. Soon-To-Be Politician by day, elaborate thief come dusk!
