Akzir Aerum

Akzir was born to famed gold merchant Aurto Aerum and his tiefling mistress in the same year as half-sister Alus, but was kept secret from the public eye, living with his mother. When Akzir was 14 years old, his mother was killed in a raid by the Red Cloaks, leaving him with nothing but his father’s name and the hatred of all bandits.
In his late teenage years, Akzir was taken under the wing of the City Guard and trained to become a paladin. He quickly rose through the ranks, earning the respect of his superiors and as a favorite of Eryndor, he has become a prominent figure in the force. Despite his natural talent, Akzir still feels like an outsider among the other City Guard members, as despite the city’s rich tiefling heritage, many of them come from more traditional human backgrounds.
Recently Akzir was welcomed back into his father’s household, where he is loved by half-sister Annis and loathed by Alus with equal measure
Akzir is a skilled fighter, with a strong sense of strategy and a powerful sense of justice. He is proficient in the use of swords and shields, and can cast a variety of paladin spells to protect himself and his allies. His tiefling heritage also grants him resistance to fire and the ability to cast darkness.
He stands at 6’2″ with a muscular build with jet black hair and piercing red eyes, a trait inherited from his tiefling mother.
Akzir is a natural leader, calm and measured in his decision making. He is devoted to his duties as a City Guard, and his commitment to justice and order is unwavering. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and will not hesitate to take action when he feels that justice is being threatened.
