Avidan Azoulas

Avidan Azoulas is a historian and leading figure of the Kepian Archaeological Society. He is most well known for discovering the existence of the Cazmir and attributing their existence as the direct cause behind the rise of the Three Kings.

## History

Avidan was born in Bolto-Noro. A child of two soldiers who served in the Kepian military, he lived a relatively happy life up until the Loyalty Wars, when both of his parents were killed while battling against the Levarian Pygmies.

Lacking any connections except for his parent's status as soldiers, Avidan joined the military to follow in his deceased family's footsteps, becoming a soldier as soon as he was allowed to at age 18 in order to get revenge against the various gangs in central Kepia. Though he didn't actually get to participate until well after the fall of Donnalin Kern, he was present and actively participated in the many battles that took place afterwards to take back the provinces of Lunatos, Bolto-Noro, Gelkrantz, and Wokkins.

At some point during the Leandorian invasion of Kepia, Avidan became acquainted with Gaviilu Van Edith, a member of the navy who saved him and his forces during a coastal ambush. The two would go on the become very close friends, with Gaviilu introducing him to Hawking, Filianor, and various other members of the navy.

Avidan eventually retired from the army at the age of 37 and became an archaeologist, exploring primarily in Bolto-Noro and Wokkins. Although he did not get his education from the KUI, his discovery of the Cazmir and their role during the Three Kings Era secured him a place amongst the faculty of the university.

Extremely saddened by the death of Gaviilu during the Battle of Hakobyan's Gulf, Avidan now resides as a researcher in the Pandeli Museum, agonizing over what to do now that he has been approached by members of Arevik's fleet.

## Personality

### Temperamental and Rash

Although his background in higher education would make one think otherwise, Avidan is actually quite hot-headed. Easily excitable and equally passionate, he can easily get emotionally invested in both his work and the events happening in his life. When faced with a difficult situation, he will often act impulsively, acting on the first course of action that appears in his mind.

### Suspicious and Loyal

Avidan's energetic yet somewhat naive personality makes it rather easy to trick him, and many people have taken advantage of him over the course of his life. This has led to him becoming somewhat paranoid regarding his relationships with other people. He is very suspicious of others, especially strangers, and will often need a proof of good faith before he opens up to someone. However, once he accepts someone as a friend, he trusts them wholeheartedly, and will not assume that they mean him harm in any way.

### Honorable

Avidan also has a very strong moral compass. His earnest nature makes it difficult for him to consciously trick others, and he also doesn't enjoy employing underhanded methods to get ahead. In any sort of competition, he will generally try his best to play fairly.

## Kepia-Fikiri Conflict

Avidan is part of the academics faction in Kepia, and is in opposition to Kepia. Should they party decide to side with Arevik, he will be one of their central supporters in trying to win over the rest of the academics.
