## Personality

A kind and brave fellow, Aguero is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He is willing to go down fighting for his allies, regardless of how futile it might seem. He does at times lose hope in himself, fearful that he will never be free of the demon within him. When possesed aguero loses sanity and is consumed by rage and bloodlust along with a slightly mischievous nature. Still, Aguero is a half-elf whose memory of his family and faith in the heavenly vale drives him to overcome all obstacles.

### Weapons and Abilities

Aguero is known to have a plethora of abilities. Living a life in blindness only forced him to pursue the art of blind fighting, and his training with Psaro'Kokkalo awakened his natural arcane affinity.

Arcane Abilities: Arcane Sight- Aguero’s most used ability. By generating arcane energy from within him, he can send out a wave of pure will that acts as a sort of echo location. His will bounds off other sources of life and magic and distincts them from each other. When used correctly, he can even decipher the functions of certain magical artifacts and creatures.

Enchanted Archery- Psaro'Kokkalo taught Aguero how to shape the world around him, make it bend to his will. “*Magic is power, it can create, and destroy. It is the essence of all things and the source of all life.*” Aguero understood but was never able to truly grasp the concept. Then, one day, he knocked his bow and the arrow charged with his essence. By channeling his life force he can make the bow the medium for his magic, and fire from it arrows embedded with different elements.

Mage Armor- Aguero is able to coat his body in energy itself, giving him incredible defense against any that would wish to harm him.

Weapons: Father’s Bow- Broken in his battle with Theios'Vomenos, Aguero still holds on to the remnants of his fathers bow, a momento of his old life.

Golden Scale- A pure gold war sword embedded with gems on the hilt. It was given to him by the blacksmith of the Kokkalo tribe to defend it from the invading Vomenos Dragonborn monks. Mathite has since had it inscribed so that one side reads in Draconic, “Fear me those of darkness, for I am your end.”

Oath Bow- A mysterious weapon of beautiful elven craft. When knocked, it seems to whisper something in elvish.
