Updated look from (Among the Nobility):

(Warning: Long backstory ahead)
I'm Sammybree, blinded at birth, taunted by the voices in my head, I struggled to grow up a normal life. People told me I was blind because I was blessed by Kormir when I was born but, there must be something more to it. I was abandoned and offered up for adoption because my parents couldn't afford to keep me. We lived day to day in the hot sanded area of the Elon Riverlands. I was adopted by a wealthy family all the way in Divinity's Reach. When I boarded the ship my parents said goodbye to me, eye filled with tears, and I promised one day I would be back to see them and my homeland.

Years passed and the voices became more hushed as my mental willpower grew stronger. Joining the Order of Whispers, they promised to help harness this "gift" which I saw as a curse my entire life. I may be blind but I can still "see" as long as I have my eyeband on. Every living thing is a spirit in my eyes, white and whispy, if I focus. Riel told me that I see through the mists as if my eyes are in that dimension but my body is here, on Tyria. She told me perhaps one day, I will mend my wounds. I got my first assignment with Tybalt Leftpaw after I found him posing as a apple merchant, and it was a success! It was hard to track down Demmi Beetlestone for Tybalt, but for me I saw her footprints in the ground easily. Just like the spirits I see, there was a mist like smoke coming from every footprint, I guess I may be cut out for this!

My vision is improving everyday and my combat as well. As I grow in my ranks within the Order, I still frequent Divinity's Reach see my family and friends, especially Lord Faren he's been my best friend for as long as I can remember.

Years passed and I finally met Rytlock, the Blood Legion Tribune! I've read a lot of Charr history books back at the Chantry, although I miss words and letters here and there I still think I have a decent grasp on Charr culture and customs.

After a successful mission together he cheered and called me a Renegade. Renegade? The word carried so much value but I didn't understand why. That night the voices were very intense, the voice was a Charr but who, and why were they speaking to me? "What do you fight for?!" That phrase kept repeating over and over in my dreams. The last voice I heard before I startled awake was "Let me in..." I gave into the voices and experienced something I can hardly explain. I was floating above a battlefield, fire and smoke everywhere. Then suddenly was plunged into the earth, through rock and dirt. As I woke, covered in sweat, I realized I could see naturally, as my eyeband lay on the table beside me. I have changed... I can see.... the Renegade is who I'll be

this is a pretty unique look on its own.
I personally dont read such long descriptions about someones backstory but i love the combination of style u put together. I would get rid of all the flashy infusions and weapons with this tho. I know they are alot of work and u want to show the hard work but, with a concept like this. keep it clean. stick to a theme. I also think a different cape would fit u better.
Beside that i still give it gold since it looks different on it's own and good dye combination.

Thanks I appreciate it! I had originally went with the Runic Cape but I had a tough time getting dyes going for it.
I agree with the comment of the weapons and infusions its just I feel like I have to use them haha. I was however considering using rapiers like (Caduecus's Sword and Bonnietes Rapier) I probably spelt those wrong but oh well.

I don't know how it is with specific parts to add to add colors, so you can skip this part. Congratulations on completing the Corsairs Pants achievement. They're really cool. The metal parts of the armor are of a similar or the same texture. This is something I value very much. Either you know the lore of GW or you really put it into your story. Cool shots, had some fun with the poses. Gold for me. The only thing I encourage you to do is read them, as long as you haven't checked them already are Royal Family weapons. They have the fire type, which allows you to shoot enemies on fire.

Loving the poses. He sounds like a really cool character, and I like the commitment you have to his backstory.

This looks much better than before ! The sabers are more acceptable, but as I already mentioned in your previous version, other weapons, especially the staff seems out of place here

Honestly I don't like the story, it doesn't flow naturally with this guy, who actually doesn't look as an elonian-born as well...also many things don't look particularily logical...
