Name: Scarab, a camel

Gender: Lad

Secret: Has several estranged children, all of whom are united against him. They all desire the wealth they assume Scarab has, but he's actually completely destitute.

Strengths: An expert swindler, lier, and charmer. He has a complete aura of trustworthiness and down-to-earth kindness, but in reality he's only into anything that will benefit himself.

Weaknesses: Quite old at this point; little to no physical strength or agility. Has a soft spot for shiny things, and will often go astray in search of a new treasure.

Backstory: Scarab grew up in the crowded desert cityscape of Coral Canyons, spending a majority of his life scamming, cheating, and flirting his way to success. However, he then ran afoul of the wrong enchantress, who hexed his cards to always deal hin a losing hand. Soon after, he found himself broken, humiliated, and penniless, until while evading his numerous unintended offspring he ran across the featured group in the story. Originally he joined them to try and run a con, but gradually grew a soft spot for some of the members - especially as he began  to have a stake in the quest. The question is, once the stones are recovered, will he return to his old ways, perhaps at the expense of his newfound friends?

That's up to you.

''Scarab is generally clothed in a somewhat ratty tuxedo jacket, a faux-gold earring, and a tattered scarf. He has the typical sandy-brown colorations of a camel, with black eyes. His pockets are filled with materials for petty scams, illusions, and cons - a shell-game kit, knockoff jewelry, and different assortments of loaded die and cards.''
