Cerrit Agrupnin

 is an eisfuura rogue and the senior Sightwarden of the Eyes of Avalir. He is played by Travis Willingham.

Appearance
Cerrit is a 6'6" eisfuura with broad shoulders, and typically wears a hooded cloak over his wings, with the hood pulled up. His feathers are white, going to brown tips at the back and the crown of his head, and his beak is dark. His eyes are blue-gray. He wears a badge, wraps around his hands and feet, and has handaxes holstered beneath each arm.

Personality
Cerrit is highly insightful and deliberate, and he often spends his time carefully watching the people and room around him. He is also characterized as a private individual and habitually disliked having his arrival openly announced at parties, to the point that he threatened and paid a herald at Palazzo Por'co to not announce his name.

Sam Riegel, who plays another character in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, believed that Cerrit is the party's second moral center, after Zerxus Ilerez. Marisha Ray, another player, described him as "very classic, very debonair in his own gruff way" in a way that reminded her of Old Hollywood and pulp classics.

Background
Cerrit has a wife, whom he describes as a brilliant "scientist" and who is often busy with her work and away from home. They have two children Maya and Kir, aged 7 and 5 respectively. Cerrit appears to have a close relationship with his children; Kir admires his father and copies him as a detective. He described his home life as "very busy".

Cerrit investigated an incident pertaining to the disappearance of Vespin Chloras that his colleague Orwyn brought to him, having been alerted by the authorities in Vasselheim. He and his colleagues believed it to likely be an attempt to recreate the Ritual of Seeding performed by the Raven Queen. In his investigation, Cerrit found a rusted, disenchanted bow, and took it for further review.

At the party at the Palazzo Por'co, Cerrit was suspicious of Loquatius's date, Bolo, and confronted Loquatius. He also brought the bow for the rest of the party to investigate, and which Zerxus determined was extremely suffused with divine power. Cerrit meanwhile realized, after Zerxus shared his dream, that Zerxus's dreams had been an ongoing and serious concern.

Following the strange behavior of one of Nydas's hodmedods, Cerrit went to investigate. He noticed the pinprick eyes of an invisible creature and killed it, only to then be taunted by Vespin Chloras's face in a mirror, which then cracked.

Cerrit continued to investigate the room and was interrupted by a call from his son, Kir, reporting that his sister, Maya, had been getting up to trouble at home. Cerrit told his son he'd be home soon, and that he loved him. He then went to get Patia, Zerxus, and Loquatius to help him look into the incident. Patia was able to determine the invisible creature had arrived dressed as a hodmedod brought by Lacrytia Hollow, and Zerxus was able to determine that they were the k'nauth of a Betrayer God.

Cerrit then went with Loquatius to the Herald's Tome to look into records of Vespin Chloras. While there, he discovered that Vespin was aware of the Tree of Names and its possible connection to the Raven Queen's ascension, and himself made the connection between the tree and the Arboreal Calix Laerryn had mentioned earlier. He also noticed that Evandrin's files at the Herald's Tome were missing. He asked Loquatius for more information; Loquatius told him the reporter had been let go but evaded further questions.

Notable items

 * Two handaxes, usually carried hidden under his arms, presumably tomahawks
 * Badge, slightly hidden
 * Ring of Honor, grants advantage on Insight checks to detect lies and pulses when someone makes a false statement. It has DC of 30 and does not pulse at Deception checks greater than that. It is unclear if this is the same ring as the one with an eye on the outside that marks him as a member of the Eyes of Avalir.

Trivia

 * Cerrit's appearance is based on the Philippine eagle. Just as Cerrit is very tall at 6'6", the Philippine eagle has the greatest length of any living eagle and is in contention for largest living eagle.
 * Cerrit is reminiscent of Old Hollywood and pulp fiction, an observation Marisha Ray also makes, particularly the film noir detective played by Humphrey Bogart, Sam Spade of The Maltese Falcon. His being eisfuura may also be a pun on the title The Maltese Falcon. Cerrit referring to the Palazzo Por'co as a "gin joint" also echoes a famous quote from Rick Blaine (also played by Bogart) in Casablanca: "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
 * Brennan Lee Mulligan, Dungeon Master for Calamity, said that if Cerrit was a cheese he would be sharp cheddar.
 * During her Instagram takeover before the premiere of Calamity, Marisha created a makeup look inspired by Cerrit. It was chosen by fan vote between Cerrit, Loquatius, Laerryn, and Nydas.
