With his identity buried alongside an empty grave, he took refuge in [[Waterdeep]], renting a small room above [[The Yawning Portal]] and living quietly for six years. As Ronan, he avoided notoriety, divine attention, and heroism alike, working the docks, keeping irregular hours, and speaking little. His stark white hair drew occasional curiosity, but no suspicion; he answered questions with practiced vagueness and left no stories behind him. Those who knew him remembered a reserved man who paid his tab on time, listened more than he spoke, and carried himself with the quiet discipline of someone accustomed to hardship. Unknown to all but himself, he kept [[Olivia's Sword]] and [[Olivia's Hat]] sealed in a chest beneath his bed, untouched. Ronan Blackfen was not an attempt to become someone else, but an effort to become nothing at all; an identity defined by absence, chosen to deny fate leverage rather than escape it.
