Nixtu Grimrobe developed a gambling habit that eventually made him loose most of what he owned on games of dice. He also accumulated a substantial debt. These debts were later bought by an investor that soon was revealed as a vampire associated with the Darkmist vampire clan. When Nixtu got the offer to work off his debts to the investor as a "helper" he reluctantly agreed. After a while he started to appreciate the thrilling life in the service of the vampire clan and the travels he got to make at the request of his reclusive employer. Before his debt is repaid he is not eligible to make the transition to actual vampire, but Nixtu is not in a hurry. He has still not grown tired of basking in the glory of those who have taken the final step.

His busy schedule leaves Nixtu little room for romantic adventures but when possible he likes to relax in one of the Darkmist taverns with a glass of wine. Red of course.
