Othan is a drow refugee from Menzoberranzan, who was rescued by his older sister Nymexida in order to prevent him being sacrificed in a ceremony for Lolth.
 
Although he's had a difficult and traumatic past, he is on the mend, thanks to his sister's guidance.
 
Currently, he has found honest work under the employ of Zardoz Zord, taking care of the menageri of animals on one of the three ships of the Sea Maidens Faire.
