Name: Azakh, the Flame of the East



Lordship and Rank: Khagan of the Variag Khaganate



Weapon and Armor: Plate armor akin to that of a powerful Gondorian lord, a great scimitar referred to as 'the reaper of men', and a smaller, ornate sword akin to those carried by the Numenoreans of old.



Skills: Combat, tactics, and lore.



History: The man now know as Azakh first came to the attention of the West ten years before the current instability began. When it was said that a sellsword had rallied the Variags beneath the banner of the High Chief Illgiz the Strong, he swiftly became even more respected than the new Khan, challenging him to a duel to the death over the throne of Khand, which he won, by cleaving Illgiz's helm, and head asunder with a single stroke. He proceeded to lead his horde north, smashing the combined forces of Dale, Esgaroth, Dorwinion, and the King under the Mountain in a well planned, and executed battle. In which they were baited into a trap, surrounded, and massacred to the last man. He proceeded to take wains full of decapitated heads outside their cities, and raise great heaps of them, terrifying the populations into surrendering. Unfortunately, he did not keep his word, and simply pillaged the cities, enslaved their populations, and then razed them to the ground.



 Azakh is coming, and all the West shall be awash in blood
