Azgad Korona

Azgad's base form

## Introduction

Azgad is a Locathah Order of the Lycan: Blood-Hunter. Together with Naal Holimion, his first companion during his ventures in Südden, a Guild was formed under the name of Griffargo Crew.

## Description

### Appearance

Azgad has fine scales covering his body which are of a light blue tinge shifting to a reddish hue at his forehead, going down his neck covering his back. This reddish coloration is not typical of the Locathah race. He has a fish-like head with large, dark eyes, toothless mouth and small fins where ears would normally be. A strong dorsal fin lays were a humanoid would have hair. He has spiny fins protruding from his elbows, heals and outer side of his wrists. Azgad stands strong at 6 foot 3 inches, almost an entire foot taller than the average Locathah. He typically wreaks of rum.

When in his hybrid form, Azgad grows almost another foot further, up to 7 '1. His fish-like feature shifts more towards those of a shark. In fact, he grows large, sharp teeth which fill his otherwise toothless buccal cavity. His dorsal fin grows broader and stands up straight. His hands gain claws which are his main weapon when on the offensive.

### Personality

Due to his larger size and odd coloration, the other Locathah were not particularly fond of Azgad. He learnt from a young age to fend for himself and only talked to others unless absolutely necessary. The loss of his mother made him even more of a loner and he spent such a long time without communicating that he often fumbles and mixes up common words. To compensate he used to keep notes about anything special which would happen. This translated to him keeping logs of any of his adventures as he grew older.

His confidence grew shortly after becoming a pirate. The pirates did not care for any so called flaws which were the cause of him being an outcast within his native village. Some crew-members dubbed him Red-Scale which he embraced proudly. The longer he spent with the crew the more he adopted pirate-like characteristics. His appetite for rum expanded and tavern brawls became his newfound method of getting to know the worth of a new city.

Azgad's rashness would often lead to a party not being in an optimal situation. He prefers to attack anyone he would encounter even if no harm would have fallen towards him or his crew, just for sport. This can be seen the first time Ila was found within the Tiger's Den. During attempted negotiations he never gives up his intentions to anyone, not even his own guild members. If this was not the case things would have gone much more smoothly upon first encountering the Acanthian tribe within the Acanthian Desert.

If below half his maximum hit-points in his Lycan Form, Azgad tends to lose control and just see red, attacking the closest creature to him.

## Biography

### Early Life

Azgad never had a stable family environment. Both his parents were Locathah however they had completely different beliefs. His father, as are many of the Locathah, wanted nothing special out of life and was a simple fish herder. His mother on the contrary was never fond of her racial history and sought to make a name of herself and to change the way people looked at the Locathah. She was a member of some Guild and it was in their headquarters where Azgad was born.
The conflict between Azgad's parents led to them splitting up early on in his life. He was raised mostly by his step-father especially following the mysterious death of his mother. They lived a modest life-style with no permanent residence as his step-father was a trade merchant. This made making friends particularly difficult. His relatively large stature (for a Locathah) made others see him as a sort of freak.

### Life as a Pirate

Taking after his mother's beliefs, Azgad wanted to make a name of himself. As a teenager, the young Locathah decided to join a pirate crew sailing through a village in which his step-father was trading.
Aboard the Rickety Wretch he first needed to prove himself before becoming an official crew member. His captain had charged him with leading an expedition with a small portion of the crew to try and steal 'Goldtooth' the golden dagger which a town major held in his possession. It was a botched up plan yet careful planning led to Azgad getting caught however the dagger was never found. He had devised a plan for himself to take the fall in order for a half-ling to run off with the loot. After being put on trial they did not have any binding proof tying Azgad to the scene of the crime and was released. After his first adventure the captain greeted him aboard the Rickety Wretch with open arms and stared calling him Stealthfin.

Following his successful first mission, the captain helped train Azgad's stealth and sleight of hand to near perfection. Seeing as his swimming capabilities were unparalleled he was often sent prior to a village pillage to scout from the waters or open any doorways from any alternate routes.

Rumor spread like wildfire that a crew of pirates had with them a sneaky, quite, fish-like humanoid. This bad reputation did not phase Azgad, Locathah are used to being judged and often take no notice of others opinion due to their race's history.
