## **Biography**

### Real

Azaron was a horned devil strategist in the never-ending war in Shavarath. Instead of relying completely on logic, he frequently goes with his gut, which tends to be right. He was rarely doing any actual fighting, as he prefers manipulation to violence. Not only would he manipulate his enemies, but he also did the same with his army, though to a lesser extent.

He had been to Eberron before he deserted. Azaron was summoned multiple times by leaders involved in the Last War to aid them in strategizing for battles. Sometimes he was even called upon by opposing sides, which provided much entertainment to him as he would puppet both sides into taking heavy casualties. He learned Common and Elvish from his friend Tabby, a soldier from Karrnath who was trapped in Shavarath.

After the war ended he was sent back to Shavarath, which he wasn’t the biggest fan of to say the least. He had been fighting in the war for well over 10,000,000 years and grew tired of the constant fighting (that he wasn’t doing), repetitiveness, and the bleakness of the plane and he saw Eberron as a much more entertaining place.

So he deserted and left through a Manifest Zone. When he left, he created a tiefling vessel and called himself Aecian Ilphaiil. This also caused him to lose his immortality and powers that he had as a devil. He considers this as a permanent vacation.

Seven years after he deserted, a devil tracked him down and tried to kill him. Aecian almost died, losing his arm in the process. However, a half-elf named Syllisia found him and saved his life.

## **Personality**

He loves taking risks, which typically manifests itself in recklessness or gambling. Even coming up with strategies is a gamble to him. Aecian gets kicks out of making people believe obvious lies. He prides himself on his ability to spot lies and dislikes it when people are dishonest with him, making Aecian a hypocrite in that regard. Aecian has no quarrels with risking the lives of others to further his goals, which typically are protecting Syllisia or his friends.

He has a laid back demeanor which makes him difficult to anger, but when pushed enough he can become violent. Aecian is far more skilled at speechcraft than he is at combat, and usually diffuses situations with words rather than weapons. When he does have to fight, he takes any advantage he can get, even if that advantage is dishonorable. Since being in Eberron for about seven years, he has started to better understand their feelings and emotions. This also caused Aecian to feel a great amount of regret for his actions while he was in Shavarath. He prefers to mask his feelings of guilt and self-loathing with a façade of arrogance and confidence.

Despite his deceptive nature, he is fiercely loyal to people he cares about. He doesn't tell lies that could endanger his loved ones. When he makes a promise, whether or not he keeps it varies. For example, if he promised someone he would give them money, he would go through with it. However, when he offered to help renNA!! mutilate her wings, he instead threw the knife off the moving cart.

## **Appearance**

### Aecian

Aecian is an almost 6 foot tall tiefling with a forked tail. He has tan almond skin and curly black hair with an undercut. He has golden jewelry on his ears, horns, tails, and tongue. Aecian wears a black turtleneck with a flowy maroon shirt with golden accents that is poofy towards the end of the sleeves. This is tucked into a pair of white pants that are then tucked into some cuffed maroon boots with a white toe and about a 1 inch heel. Aecian has a cybernetic prosthetic that makes up his entire right arm. He also has a few scars on his face, but most of them are on his torso concentrated towards the right side. His eyes have no sclera or pupil and are the color of amber.

### Azaron

Azaron was a muscular 9 foot tall horned devil with goat-like legs, massive wings, three tails, and many large horns. He had red skin that faded to white at the end of his legs, hands, ears, and tails. His cloven hooves and horns that appeared to be made of gold. His eyes glowed a solid amber, like how he is currently. Azaron also wore plenty of jewelry.

## **Relationships**

### Renna

> "I typically would advise you avoid her, but she sucks at recruiting people so you should be fine."
>
> ~ Aecian, when asked about his opinion on Renna

Aecian ~~thinks~~ knows that Renna is incompetent when it comes to just about everything. He treats Renna like a kid.

### Seraph

> "Well, his typical day looks like hitting on random women, sleeping, and playing music. He’s a bard, I don’t know what you expected."
>
> ~ Aecian, when asked about his opinion of Seraph

Aecian isn't *too* fond of Seraph, as he has hit on Syllisia multiple times despite her obvious disinterest.
