## Personality

Zancur had arrogant self centered personality. A life of struggle followed by immense power has given him a desperate desire to keep control of power at all cost. He relishes in power whenever he has it in his grasp often treating those around him with immense disrespect. Racism is something he is deeply involved in having embraced the capitol's racist rhetoric during his time there. He exposes racist rhetoric to whomever he sees fit.

Zancur deep down however has a complicated relation with himself, the only person he has ever truly felt love from, the king is gone dead or not the lost has left him empty and alone.

## Backstory

Zankur was born nearly a century ago in the tranquil city of Sanson Isle. His birth however was not a normal one. Born to a High Elf mother and a Wood Elf Father, his status in life was immediately one of complications. Raised by his father alone, rumors that he was born by an affair with an unknown member of the Sanson Isle branch of the royal family forced his father to leave the tranquil realm for good. On the run, he and his father made a living on the road and woodlands between the Capitol and Sanson Isle. There, homeless and afraid, he mastered the art of the hunt, of both animal and human prey. Eventually around the age of 15 (in elf years) an incident took the life of his father, forcing Zankur to take on the challenge of life alone. The skills his father had taught him however served him well and he made a successful living as a huntsmen and sellsword. His appearance as a mix of a wood and high elf often causes him problems. Despite having the grateful and majestic appearance of the high ones, his less than refined behaviors and attitude would anger those non-elves and cause laughter and disgust from high elves. Despite these hardships, Zankur always held onto the memory of what his father said of his mother. If it was true he was half high elf, he could finally have a way out of this low life of hard work and little reward. Proving this would be impossible; unless he acquired a magic potion that, when combined with the blood of a relative, proves relations of the biological manner. Thus when a member of the royal family was traveling through a town he was working as a guardsman, he jumped to action. Acquiring the potion from a wizard in less than peaceful ways, he managed to sneak into the inn where the royal was staying. There he was confronted with not the princess he expected, but a prince. One not of the Sanson Isle, but of the direct royal line in the capitol. This prince reveals himself to be the crown prince heir to the throne (The High King). Faced with the difficult choice of wasting the potion on some distant relative who most likely won’t produce reliable results or kill the royal, the prince offered a third option. Seeing as Zankur effortlessly entered the room where he was staying, the prince offered him a job as a personal guard to him. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally leave his miserable life on the streets, Zankur still hesitated. Doing this would throw away his hope of finding his mother, as being in the vicinity of the royal family would make performing the blood ritual something impossible. Thus he made his mind and abandoned any hope of uncovering his lineage. Working for the prince day and night, the two became best of friends. Zankur's cold rough personality mended perfectly with the prince’s optimistic exciting outlook. The two became inseparable. The romance between the two became the greatest secret of the capitol. When the Prince ascended to the throne and became king, the two were forced to put their love into a different form. Becoming the king’s personal guard, the two remained together even through the king’s reign. However, the question of the king's lack of marriage and an heir became an issue. The realm needed stability from an heir. The possibility of a woman entering the picture created tension. The sexual tension was cut short however with the queen’s sudden death in childbirth and the subsequent events led to his fall from grace. The loss of his love in the king to the murderous hands of the new tyrant queen broke him. The white queen’s rage and anger towards Zankur for stealing her sister's hope at love with the king resulted in her removing him from his position as commander of the royal guard and exiled to the feral dominion. Now alone again, Zankur desires revenge against the queen who took everything from him in his darkest hour. Determined to learn the truth of his soulmate's fate and to take the queen's life, Zankur is filled with a new deadly determination.

## Abilities

Zancur was trained from an early age in martial combat. A master swordsmen and wielder of various heavy weapons ranging from spears to his infamous Warhammer. This skill in heavy martial weapons carried him far in life allowing him to rise through the ranks and become the commander of the guard. Often his fighting style was very straightforward and brutal using trickery and disturbing means to gain an advantage, from using fog to remove enemies ability to see him, to delivering killing blows that are far too brutal to be reasonable. Often angry and hate were manifested in his fights, killing for a release of pent up emotions. Zancur was also very skilled in magic, at first knowing many basic survival spells from his time in wilderness. Examples being fog, goodberries, and cure wounds. After his "death" at the tentacles of the kraken and becoming an servant of Shur Zancur gained many new combat spells for his use. The combination of his fighting skills and magic was almost enough to kill even the powerful Jyn Res in combat.
