Elaith Craulnobur

Lord Elaith Craulnobur (in newer books spelled Craulnober) is a moon elf from ancient house, related to Moonflower the royal blood of Evermeet, the last of his family line. After being consider unworthy and rejected by his ancestral moonblade, he chose self-exile in human lands. He became adventurer and treasure hunter; finally he settled in Waterdeep, where he is known to have many possessions in the city.
Elaith is cunning, intelligent and smart. Handsome and elegant, he is also a master swordsman and quite good sorcerer, especially fond of enchanted artefacts. He poses as a businessman of sort; however, he acts ruthless and vengeful under the mask.

Spoilers

Elaith Craulnobur was betrothed to Princess Amnestria Moonflower. His love never expired; even though Amnestria's half-elven daughter, Arilyn Moonblade, is not really fond of him, he treats her as full-blood princess and his superior.
After Elfsong his moonblade is not in slumber anymore. It awakened during his quest to restore it to full strength for his daughter, Azariah. Her mother was a sun elf and died soon after she was born.
Actually, Azariah is not the only offspring of Elaith. He has also a son, as stated in Evermeet, by Amnestria. The boy's name is rumored to be Aaron; he lives somewhere in Faerun, not aware of his legacy. Elaith has no clue of his existence.
