Fazo

“Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.”
-Fazo 
== History ==
One of the first Lords, Fazo was a great warrior cursed to be trapped within a demon's body. He suffered greatly at the hands of Lord Alpha, who distorted him the farthest among his brethren. Now a mage, he became consumed by gluttony, cannibalizing and devouring other mages, absorbing their power and becoming grotesquely obese. Grotesque and unable to walk, Fazo sought out and stole countless magical artifacts, all the while leading the mainstay of the Final Empire's army. He was charged with subduing Jotunheim's Rebellion, where he earned a reputation for cruelty and wanton brutality. He was defeated at the hands of Tolumvire of Arendur, who stripped him of much of his power and forced him to flee. Lord Alpha remade him as close to his original form as he could, but succeeded only in creating a broken wreck of once great man, appearing weak and confused. He remained in the dying world, uncomprehending as the Final Empire fell. Brought to serve in the Illuminated by Tolumvire, his past incarnation proved to be more somber and competent figure than his warped future form would suggest. He served in the Great Crusade as an ambassador, leading a retinue of artists, artisans, and other representatives of Arendur's culture and industry. After the Arendur-Ragnarok War, he followed Tolumvire into exile, where he resumed his life as an adventurer. 
== Personality ==
Though he was known principally as a legendary warrior and skilled general, Fazo abhorred war, favoring diplomacy and defense. He was burdened by his cursed demonic form, which cut him off from other people and forced him to use his considerable talent on the battlefield. After Alpha's mind-slavery, he indulged inhuman cravings for flesh and wealth, transforming himself into an bloated caricature of a human being. He was a retiring and reluctant hero, leery of his own might and the designs to which he was set, often forced to war by circumstance and grim necessity.
