Maren'kar

Maren'kar was a powerful troll wizard who frequently changed allegiances, first working for Blackwyn and then becoming the head of the Order of the Ninth Circle while still pursuing his own agenda. Often speaking in riddles or acting all-around mysterious, Maren'kar had a strong accent to his speech and also owed Byrch money.

## History

    In 413 Tz, Maren'kar decided to divine the future of Jason, a young boy who would later in his life join the Rebels. By using scarabs, a red potion and a touch of flame, he invoked a spell Tezla himself made, revealing the future of Jason by using the boy's blood. The spell revealed that the boy's destiny is singular, which intrigued Maren'kar.

### Stolen Destiny

Sometime during the Unlimited era, Maren'kar was tasked by Rajidon, Blackwyn's right-hand man, to bring Rowan of Snow's gang to aid Skyros, a centaur lieutenant working for the Rebel cause who got poisoned by a Necromantic spear that only Rowan's healing powers could banish. Bypassing the Mending Priestesses' magic wards, he met Snow after they had a run-in with a horde of undead sent by Borryan, the local zombie bandit-king. Maren'kar explained the situation but was met with distrust and enmity, getting threats from Turrak'din and also suggested to be shot on spot by Byrch (several times, too!) - eventually the gang came to an agreement that Rowan would travel with Kerrai for safety and Maren'kar obliged, teleporting away to Skyros.

Upon arriving to the end destination, the three met Jason, who tended to Skyros while waiting for help. Jason informed the group of the centaur's worsening condition and that they may be too late. Maren'kar then left the group to themselves, only observing, now that his role was done.

Two days later, Rowan asked for Maren'kar to teleport her and Kerraii back to Snow - the Mending Priestess did all she could to help the centaur and it was only a matter of time before the lieutenant made a full recovery. Maren'kar spirited the two away and then shortly teleported back to visit Skyros. The centaur and the troll then discussed Jason's destiny - as it turns out, the boy was a result of Prophet-Magus Karrudan manipulating the bloodlines of several lesser kingdoms, creating a heir to all of the three kingdoms in the process - the Magus was planning to use Jason as his pawn to control the kingdoms, and gave the boy to Diana, his "mother'. Karrudan's plans were cut short, however, as Snow shot the ruler of the Guild right in the heart, ending all of the machinations. Jason's destiny was still uncertain, however. Skyros did instruct the boy in the ways of life, but Maren'kar told the centaur that the boy needed to be exposed to the harsh reality of the world to be a competent leader, should Jason fulfill his prophecy as the king of several kingdoms.

When the Breaking happened, Maren'kar died, effectively leaving the Order of the Ninth Circle to Tovak Wyrmstalker.

## Powers

    Maren'kar has the ability to teleport himself and one or two people with him across great distances, and also to divine the future. When he used his teleport spell, his image (and the image of those he's teleporting) seems to shimmer for a moment, the air around him becoming angry and sharp, the air is then burning and Maren'kar and his passengers are gone.
