Ganizani Afolayan

Ganizani is a Vetali who has discarded his heritage, his tribe, and his religious upbringing to wander the surface of the world and to meet the challenge of hunting the finest prey the open world has to offer. Ten years ago, Ganizani escaped the slavers of the city of Ainkarn with his brother, Daro. Using Daro’s maps and Ganizani’ knack for foraging, the brothers found themselves in a place known as Jether. They were met by agents of King Eversol. Sensing no signs of treachery or espionage from the brothers, the agents accepted Ganizani and Daro and allowed them to remain in the Stormloft region.
Ganizani spent a short time in Jether, working with his brother in building up a shop to sell and purchase trinkets. This did not suit Ganizani at all. Eventually, an agent of the King named Edthow Ankenbrandt, was persuaded to take Ganizani as his apprentice. Ganizani saw himself becoming a ranger like Edthow, hunting the wilds of the Giant Steppes. Shortly after Ganizani’ training was complete, Edthow met his end to old age and Ganizani found himself in Stormloft with no real attachments left.
The wilderness around Stormloft offered him solace, especially the crisp mountain air of the Coalbeard Peaks. His favorite pass time of late has been hunting mountain lions and elk. Ganizani found himself a small home just outside of the city, but as of late, the prey in his hunting grounds has become sparse.
It was during this time that Ganizani began to see things in his dreams. He saw foul beasts of the purest elements of the world and how they were coalescing in a place he did not know. It was a place between two mountains each with a mouth. The place was a hill and on it stood a man with horns who ruled over all the people therein. Ganizani did all the research he could, going into the city to take knowledge from the Grand Library of the Blue Prince and retreating back to his cabin to study more. Finally, he found the place to be Hilton, a small old town near Mount Illuminus. And that is where he has gone, to ride on the wind and waves of life to find out what his dreams mean.
Roleplaying Notes: Ganizani comes off as a bit aloof and sarcastic to other people, but he has never really been good around people like his brother Daro is. He does not like going into a situation without properly planning and scouting ahead. Some may consider this trait as overly wary, but Ganizani understands patience and cautiousness are essential traits.
