Adesh

**A'desh**, *Human, Male* -

A'desh is in his early thirties, tanned skin and completely bald. He has several long scars that run from his chin down under his shirt. He can usually be found in the courtyard of the keep, in the company of the Half Orc Kragg.

## Background

A'desh comes from the Kingdom of Agba from across the Quarren Sea to the East of Trassel. A'desh was the seventh of twelve born sons of the Sultan Ro'Ta the sovereign ruler of Agba.

A'desh was forced to grow up quickly in the land of Agba. In the capital city of Ka'dora, you fight and potentially kill to get what you want. In many cases, bartering will break down into insults, which results in a public fight in the street known as a "Yarkol" or Duel of Honor. These Yarkol's are spectacles of both magic and military prowess, as there are no rules, other than the winner, or perhaps survivor, gets his way, and the loser is either dead, or defeated.

A'desh from birth was a fighter and spent his early years venturing into the underbelly of the city. He ventured into the land of Thieves and Murderers alike as a child, and speant many years there. He joined the Sultan's Royal Guard at the age of 16 and served many years in this position. However, in this tenth year of service, the third born brother, and third in line for the throne, challenged him upon the notion that he was unfit to serve their father. Now there are no specific rules to the "Yarkol" however it is a general rule of thumb that officials, and the military are exempt from such things. However, on this day blood would be drawn.

The Yarkol was held in the courtyard of the Sultan's palace, in front of their entire family, and a number of high officials. Now A'desh through various means had acquired a number of powerfully enchanted weapons throughout the years, as do all members of the Royal Guard. Not being of the guard, or knowing of their ways, the brother had come much less prepared in the military prowess, however, what he lacked in weapons, he made up with in spells.

From the onset, it was clear to A'desh that his brother meant to kill him. It was over in an instant, during the casting of one of his brothers spells, A'desh went in for a blow that would end the battle, yet render his brother unable to cast. Until his brother shifted, and what would have been a crippling blow, took his life.

Upon the blow falling, his father began calling for his head, as he had just slain a heir to the kingdom. Panicked, A'desh fled, slaying a number of the Royal Guard, and other soldiers. He raced into the underground where he grew up as a child, into the darkness which made him who he was today.

It was in the underbelly of the city where he met Kragg, a Half-Orc who is known far and wide to be one of the most deadliest opponents in the gladiatorial ring, who had recently escaped, slaying his entire house and vanishing into the night like a ghost. Here they lived for several years while massing the wealth required to leave the country and perhaps even the continent.

Eventually, as they had required the funds, they booked an off the books airship ride to one of the port cities, and boarded a ship to a distant land, to which one, they cared not.

Upon arriving in Trassel, they made a living as a pair of bounty hunters before settling down in Kragshead as a pair of mercenaries shortly before they were recruited by a butler of a recently built keep on the outskirts of the city of Kragshead, where he now resides as the Captain of the guard.
