Description

You see Warlord Vashir Azra, Legendary Barbarian of M'riss, a Prydaen.
He has pointed ears and cat-slitted sullenly glowing blue-white eyes. His black mane is shoulder length and fine, and is worn loose. He has white fur with black stripes, a thick tail and a brawny build.
He is tall for a Prydaen.

Early Life

Born into poverty on the floating city of Mer'Kresh, Vashir grew up as the third son of a fisherman with almost nothing to set him apart from any other child. Indeed, the only thing remotely unusual about him was his luck - where most of his siblings eventually fell prey to the hazards of daily life on Mer'Kresh, he always demonstrated an uncanny ability to avoid harm. This only encouraged his already powerful sense of adventure, and before long he found himself growing restless and dissatisfied with his apparent destiny as a poor fisherman. This is why, in his fifteenth year, Vashir left the city of his birth to seek a new life on the mainland, severing all ties with the family that refused to support this choice.

Through the years Vashir's memories of his childhood have faded, rarely discussed and never enjoyed, but he hasn't forgotten what he considers the most important lesson one learns while growing up in such a dangerous place, surrounded by some of the most powerful adventurers in the world: Might makes right.

The Barbarian Guild

Since joining the guild in 393 AV Vashir has distinguished himself primarily through his devotion to training, which scarcely wavered even with the outbreak of the war with Lyras and her undead horde. Early mistakes have slowed his rate of advancement considerably, but nevertheless he is at this time one of Elanthia's deadliest fighters.

He is also one of the few Barbarians to favor heavy plate, and wears a unique set of armor enhanced with anlora-avtoma, a rare metal said to be resistant to magic.

The Undead War

Vashir has played only a very minor role in the war with Lyras and her minions - early participation resulted in his swift defeat, and his return to Mer'Kresh has removed him from the daily struggles on the mainland. Though he has made his way back to Crossing to repel undead incursions in the past, he refuses to do so now after being twice arrested for months-old minor shoplifting charges while risking life and limb to protect the city.

Personal Info

Vashir is known to keep to himself for the most part, rarely choosing to become involved in the business of others. Exceptions to this include matters pertaining to the Inquisition and the PHA, both of which he supports. Rumors suggest that he may also take on mercenary work if the price is right, but he does little to advertise this service.

He has a great deal of respect for Everild, Kuniyo, and Trothfang, but exclusively seeks the favor of Eu.

He has had numerous romantic interests over the years but eventually found his soulmate in Laniea Azra, and the two remain happily bonded to this day.

The List

A dedicated warrior, Vashir is always on the lookout for new opponents to test himself against. This has led to him keeping a list of adventurers and enemies who defeat him in hopes that he might challenge them again after honing his skills.
