Marud Ákkada-Thaum

Marud is a young altered Lamiatrophus (incubus) born during the last years of the Mosulia dynasty. He was imprisoned by the regime of Axyr I and eventually pardoned under orders of his successor Axyr II following multiple terrorist attacks against House Trafalgar. He currently operates as a cacique just outside the walls of Ardat, fighting for the dwindling native Ardatian and Lamiatrophi population and being one of the most radically conservative preservers of Ardati culture.
== Biography ==
Seized at 8 years old from one of the last remaining pure Lamiatrophi families, who had challenged Trafalgar rule on its beginning and exiled as a result. He was originally intended to be morphed into a wirl by the caliph Axyr I. The process was complicated and long, and his mind became torn in an eternal battle between the calls of Ardat Lili and the calls of the wirl god. This would make him a particularly unstable and erratic person, reason why the transformation was aborted.
The brutal rituals realised by House Trafalgar made him physically stronger as well as expanded his lifespan to great extent, although his bones became weaker and his horns brittle to the point of breaking constantly, his skin became ever easier to blister and cold, and his growth was brought to a complete halt since wirl don’t require of neither of those things.
Marud shares the bloodlust of the wirl due to his soul not being able to sustain itself, as well as their barrenness as a result of the horrible malformations inflicted on his body. These “abnormalities”, as he would call them, are the reason he would adopt an extremely conservative stance in ardati culture; since without a mother, nor fertility, nor masculinity, he would never be able to be a part of it nor be reunited with Ardat Lili so long as the wirl God haunts his mind.
He managed to escape the monastery of infinite pleasure at age 15, and lead numerous terrorist attacks against the Caliphate to relieve its population from foreign rule. These constant raids posed enough of a threat to force the caliph to build the Hospital of the Darkened Blood right in front of the monastery to increase security in the area.
Given his impressive combat abilities, after Axyr I sacrificed himself in order to hide Trafalgar Austral from the rest of Rathnir, Axyr II disguised himself as the fallen Caliph, Dalatra, to localise and trick his now elderly but loyal mother and steal her soul; since then, keeping it in a shattered wirlomeyan cross weaved in the royal cloth. With this, Axyr II managed to keep himself protected from his terrorist attacks as well as control him by adopting the voice, shape and essence of his mother in order to control him and turn him from a terrorist into his personal hatchet man.
