“I hope you'll have time for some dessert, Dori.” — Rokko to Dorian Pavus in their bedroom, 9:45 Dragon
Rokko is a Rivaini surface dwarf who spent some time travelling in Thedas before stopping in Tevinter, tired of the brownish Fereldan soups and Orlesian Hams of Despair. He’s very serious at his task: preparing the best meals for the Lucerni: the faction trying to restore and redeem Tevinter! With his quality as chef, he got closer to the leaders, Maevaris Tilani and Dorian Pavus, who appreciate his food and unfortunate timings.

Some raiders took his parent’s ship and killed them for their goods. They were his enemy and he wanted revenge for a while, before understanding it was just “A ship” between hundreds of other raiders. They weren’t all connected or working for the same person. |

But the Raiders have only one code: never attack each others. He and his cargaisons were safe, for now. |
