Aye he is the Drow Mercenary but in the The Crystal Shard Jarlaxe and a group of drow take over a thieves guide on the surface. Jarlaxe holds the crystal shard which eventually controls him. The drow have hired several humans from the guild including Artemis. Jarlaxe has befriended Artemis, and they have some type of mutual respect for each other obviously from some encounters in previous books which I did not read. Any way to make a long story short Artemis rescues Jarlaxe from the shard and they seek the help of a certain cleric (From The cleric Quintet books I believe) to help in destroying the shard for good. Lets just say that a couple powerful drow what to take the shard for themselves, a dragon, and a monk who is Artemis equal in fighting become involved. It ends with Artemis and Jarlaxe going into the sunset for adventure and Artemis goes from assassin to bounty hunter as he wants a different life, and Jarlaxe wants to learn more about the surface its inhabitants, and culture. So I would assume there are possibly several books after as well.
Jarlaxe puzzles me as a character because he seems different than most drow, and yet he is nothing like Drizzit either as he is obviously evil but seems sort of cultural and reasonable in nature. So I would not mind knowing the other books he is in as well.
