History

Born and raised around 540 CY in the Grayhawk's Great Kingdom, he was initiated to Hextor at the court of the Overking at Rauxes. He gained first experience in the retinue of Overking Ivid IV. As Ivid IV was assasinated by his successor Ivid V in 556 CY he was considered too unimportant and so survived the subsequent purge. Slowly raising in rank for several years he gained significant diplomatic skills.

As some intrigue put him into severe danger, he managed to get sent to Hochoch in 580 CY with the orders to destabilize the situation and establish a temple to Hextor there.

Appearance and personality

He is 5'8", with short cut, dark brown hair and brown skin. Usually he's clad in banded mail armour and wears a heavy steel shield when fighting is expected.

As a cleric of Hextor he is very selfish, cruel, haughty and hungry for power. Though he is the undisputed head of the temple, he leaves day-to-day business to his aide Amada, and shows himself to the followers only during greater services to Hextor or on special occasions. At other times he is planning new ways of terrorizing Hochoch's population and delights in personally summoning infernal creatures into the streets of the city.

Followers and allies

He has a little crush on Amada Keeling, who is accompanies him as his aide on this mission. This will not prevent him to kill her, should he perceive that she somehow challenges his position, but his perception of her is a bit spoiled by imagined romance.

All followers of the temple are at his command, if he considers them worthy of a job.

Enemies

As Amada seems to be loyal to him, and he currently is not known by many people outside the Temple, he has no immediate enemies in Hochoch.

Back in the Great Kingdom there are loads of them...

Combat

He won't avoid a physical fight, but of course is missing the finesse of a trained fighter as well as the ferocity and strength of a barbarian. Since he fights with every trick and unfair advantage available to him, he nevertheless should not be underestimates in combat. But of course he prefers to stay in the second or third line, casting spells and bossing around his aides and underlings.
