**Acktone** is an aarakocra artificer and a member of the Flame Syndicate.

He grew up in the desert town of Ashfall. He was originally an only child, looked after by two aarakocra- Karen and Chad. However, Karen and Chad soon had a lot of children, and he was cast out from society. Acktone did not like any of them- the fact that their names all ended with 'tone' as well was pretty infuriating. He instead set his sights on the Cruxon, the soldiers that protected the Auxier Desert. Acktone later built a flamethrower, and ended up killing all of his family in an unfortunate 'accident.' He ran away and joined the airforce.

## Introduction

*It has been said that Acktone is the embodiment of chaos, a wildcard, a rowdy inventor and arsonist braving the desert sands of the Auxier. Those who have met this aarakocra would call him undisciplined, an unrestrained soldier with a tendency for pyromania. People who know him would say differently; he’s a quick-thinking, inventive arsonist with a past that sometimes haunts his waking memory. Only one thing is certain: Acktone will always be whatever his heart desires, free of expectations and the responsibilities that weigh down his companion’s shoulders.*
