Joseph Bloodworth

“War has its necessities...and I have always understood that. Always known the cost. But, this day, by my own hand, I have realized something else. War is not a natural state. It is an imposition, and a damned unhealthy one. With its rules, we willingly yield our humanity. Speak not of just causes, worthy goals. We are takers of life.”
 -Joseph Bloodworth
== History ==
A revered warrior among the Aarakocra, Joseph Bloodworth was quick to ally with Cordelia, who he saw as a kindred spirit. Bloodworth despised the notion of a corrupted king, and was the only man on the War Council to dare suggest executing Cordelia's parents. 
== Personality ==
Warlike and quick-tempered, Joseph Bloodworth was scornful of aasimar and air genasi, and considered himself the rightful ruler of the Aarakocra. He was loyal to Cordelia, but considered himself above the other members of the War Council.
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Bloodworth would lead the Aarakocra in all major engagements of the war, both against Aglazdere and Skycity Alliance. Though he would remain on the war council after Cordelia's death, he would prove a troublesome figure, unwilling to take orders from his compatriots. 
== After the War ==
Joseph Bloodworth and the other members of the War Council would be devoured by the cloud drake Pyndran during his conquest of Aurum. Category:Aarakocra
