Korikash Gilruthanis was born in Anayll to a noble grey elven household. As a young elf Korikash was restless. He traveled throughout Anayll, but something was missing. He wanted to see the world, meet the non-elves that he had heard so many stories about.

One day Korikash, his younger brother, Quin, and a close friend, Rosin Merlikom, signed on to protect a merchant vessel leaving Anayll. This vessel, the Gull, was captained by a human named Dudermont. The young elves traveled on the Gull to the human city of Freeport. When they arrived in Freeport they met a half-elf named Jarvis Pettiford.

Jarvis became an important person in the Korikash’s life. Jarvis heads a small group of individuals that works for good. He gives Korikash, Quin, and Rosin missions that allow them to travel, gain wealth, experience, and work for the good of people everywhere.

In Korikash's most recent adventure, he, Quin, and Rosin joined with a group of adventurers from Leonay to release Syr Donillar from the control of the  Bohara Moheat. During this adventure, Korikash met Peralla and they have been inseparable ever sense.

Korikash is a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. He is confident in his ability to use one of his many skills to overcome any obstacle. Korikash is an extremely talented speaker, charming and well bred; he can usually talk others into seeing things his way.

Currently, Korikash and his companions are in semi-retirement. When not at one of their houses, on the Southside of Freeport or in the jungle of East Island, they can be found traveling throughout the northeastern end of the Arrean continent. Korikash is now traveling the cities of the pirate coast, forming business partnerships and increasing his personal wealth.
