Wymlathan d'Cannith

Wymlathan d'Cannith was a human dragonmarked member of House Cannith . [1]

History

Wymlathan was born into House Cannith, eventually displaying his dragonmark and going on to serve his House in a business capacity. Some time after the Last War , Wymlathan was preparing to strike a business deal between House Cannith and House Orien and left Sharn on board the airship Halcyon in order to do so. [1]

This was not to be, however, as a recently excoriated member of House Orien, Ulrich Orien , decided to take revenge against his former house by sabotaging the deal. In order to do so, Ulrich hired the changeling assassin Wix to murder Wymlathan on board the ship, with Ulrich himself deciding to come along for the ride to enjoy the fruits of his labor, against the advice of his hired assassin. [1]

Wymlathan hired a private booth for the journey, and so Wix's original plan was to poison his meal. Unfortunately for the assassin, Wymlathan wasn't hungry and so put his meal aside, letting it go cold. Seeing their plan failing, Wix decided instead to slit Wymlathan's throat with a steak knife, which she stole from Agatha Burninghorn , a fellow passenger. [1]

This assassination attempt was ultimately successful, with Wymlathan's corpse being found shortly thereafter by Chop , the airship's mechanic, with Wymlathan's blood having seeped into his jabot from his slit throat. A group of investigators soon went about questioning the other passengers on the ship to try to solve this murder. [1]
