Rajiram

Baron Rajiram () was a cloud giant smiling one and pirate captain of the Sword Coast the late 15 century DR. Following the breaking of the Ordning in the 1480s DR, he sought the Ark of the Mountains.
==Description==
Rajiram was smaller than most cloud giants. He covered his features with a bifurcated red mask - one half depicting a smile, the other half a scowl.
==Personality==
Rajiram was particularly greedy and was also quite intelligent.
==Abilities==
Rajiram was a powerful spellcaster. As a cloud giant, he could cast spells such as gaseous form and control weather. As a bard, he had access to spells like major image and tongues. He also had the ability to change his shape and assume the form of beasts or humanoids that he had encountered previously.
==Possessions==
Rajiram's pirate ship was Thunderbound, a flying galleon with multiple decks. . Rajiram carried a staff of thunder and lightning. He used the staff to control the weather around Thunderbound.
Rajiram sometimes used a simulacrum of himself to take his place. The simulacrum could communicate telepathically with Rajiram.
==Activities==
So that he could improve his position in the Ordning, Rajiram pillaged treasure and magic items.
In the late 15 century DR, Rajiram conducted most of his piracy along the Sword Coast and on the Sea of Swords.
==Relationships==
Rajiram's crew included many humans from the Nelanther Isles.
Also serving in his crew were minotaurs, goblins, and oni.
Among the notable members of his crew were Boff Badcrack the hill giant Mouth of Grolantor and Sláturhaust the storm giant quintessent. He was also served by Lord Dworkin, a cloud giant archmage. 
Rajiram's followers were completely devoted to him; they feared his anger more than they feared death. He gave frost brand scimitars to the pirates he liked the most.
==History==
Rajiram was exiled from his home, and so came to the Nelanther Isles. There, he won favor with the pirates that lived there and rose to become a powerful pirate captain himself.
The Baron was active for at least decades before the 1480s DR, when he clashed with SEER and Bitter-root of the Lords' Alliance.
In the 1480s DR, Rajiram attacked Durlag's Tower, in an attempt to recover a magical tablet which was able to reactivate the Ark of the Mountains. SEER sent adventuers to combat the Baron's forces and obtain the treasure of the Tower before he could. Rajiram hired twin mercenary dwarves, Bahldrak and Bellegia Slagspit to patrol the surrounds of the Tower and assasinate the adventuerers. Later, as the adventurers entered into the tower, Rajiram sent his simulacrum to obtain the tablet. The adventurers countered Rajiram's efforts and recovered the tablet.
Later, Rajiram sent his followers from his flying ship to plunder the ruins of the Ulcaster School of Wizardry near Beregost. SEER and the recently-revived Ulcaster, sent adventurers to protect Ulcaster's secret library from the pirates.
Still desperate to recover the tablet that had once been in Durlag's Tower, Rajiram sent a message to Beregost. Unless the tablet was given to him, he threatened to violently destroy Beregost from Thunderbound. In order to save the town, SEER gathered adventurers together and raised the Ark of the Mountains from Durlag's Tower. The adventurers took control of the Ark, and flew it in an epic sky battle against the Baron.
