Artemis Entreri

Artemis Entreri is presented in the supplied sources as a human professional assassin created within the shared-world setting of the Forgotten Realms. He appears across multiple R. A. Salvatore novels and related products, functioning as a recurring narrative antagonist; specific novels and collections referencing him in the supplied materials include The Halfling's Gem (where he kidnaps Regis and moves him to Calimport), The Silent Blade and other volumes within Paths of Darkness, and related series excerpts where his rivalry with Drizzt Do'Urden and involvement in Calimport intrigues are emphasized (sources: The Halfling's Gem blurb; Paths of Darkness blurb; related bibliographic entries). The provided materials do not supply an in-world mythical or supernatural origin for Entreri—he is treated as a mortal operative within the social and criminal milieu of the Realms.

The supplied excerpts do not include a detailed canonical physical portrait of Artemis Entreri. Sources identify him as a human assassin and repeatedly place him in urban settings such as the streets of Calimport; beyond that classification and his role as an operative who performs kidnappings and other assassin tradecraft, no authoritative descriptions of height, facial features, clothing, or other specific physical attributes are present in the provided materials.

Within the supplied sources Entreri is portrayed as a masterful mortal assassin—a professional killer and operative of exceptional skill—rather than a supernatural entity. He is repeatedly described as a recurring nemesis to Drizzt Do'Urden and is implicated in actions such as kidnapping (for example, whisking Regis the halfling to Calimport in The Halfling's Gem) and working alongside or against other morally ambiguous figures (for example, Jarlaxle in Paths of Darkness). The sources frame his capabilities in conventional, narrative terms of highly effective assassination tradecraft rather than listing magical powers or superhuman abilities.
