Tall and muscular he handles himself with grace uncomon for his size. His face is angular, his ears pointed and his head shaved of all hair. His maner and gaze all ooze confidence and subtle menance, like a predator eyeing prospective prey. His skin is riddled with old scars, white against his orange hued skin and his ears move with his facial expressions, twitching as he listens, dropping when he frowns and flattening against his skull when he grins.
Background:
Azuk'ai is the only child of the half-elf Aliene born in bondage to the orc warrior Toruk of the Skull Eater Clan who lurk in and around Whisperfell Pass, preying on Ustalav. Beeing the sole child born to that inception Azuk'ai was ritualisticly scarred only a few months old. His mother escaped with him during the morning after the ritual and fled into Ustalav. Her first stop was the town of Ravengro where she arived in the dead of night to the deaf ears of it's inhabitants. Forced to spent the night huddled outside she was discovered by the towns inhabitants and brought before the clerics residing in the local church. Uncomfortable that her lies regarding her own and Azuk'ai's background were not bought by the clergy she moved on to the next town to finally arrive in Lepidstadt where she made her home and raised Azuk'ai.
His mother tried to raise him with elven principals but his blood would out. Growing up incredibly fast, reachin full maturity at the age of 15, coupled with his hot orc blood caused many a clash with both his peers and his mother who tried to home-school him in the hopes of raising out his vile blood. In that regard she was only moderately successfull, always troublesome as a child she revealed his heritage to him in an heated argument when he was 10.
Devastated at the revelation Azuk'ai became more recluse and took to the streets more often, staying out late and avoiding contact with most people. Coming to terms with the information in a few days of sulking he returned home to his mother and vowed he would try to restrain himself for her, locking up his impulsive nature he struggles with it to this day.
Outwardly calming down after that he actually grew wiser and paid better attention to the lessons presented by his mother, though he had little interest in most of them. Having found solace in the streets he braved them more often than he had, getting to know the locals by reputation and sight.
Growing up quickly in the next two years he grew big enough to train with the militia, partaking in sparring and archery were much better suited to Azuk'ai's tastes. But an event, and a man, that would shape his life were soon to arrive in his life.
Skulking the streets one night Azuk'ai ran upon a creature rumaging through what apeared to be some trash in an alley. Observing it for some time the creature came to notice him and Azuk'ai saw a ghoul chewing on the corpse of a bum. Furious at beeing interupted the ghoul whent after Azuk'ai who by some miraculous maner escaped it, running blindly through the night untill he made it to concecrated grounds, but not with out the ghoul clawing him once.
It was accociated to his elven heritage that Azuk'ai had resisted the paralizes but he knew better, he had survived through sheer luck.
The event drew the attention of Professor Lorrimor, a prominent citizen of Ravengro, and his warm fatherly manner warmed Azuk'ai to him and he actually ended up confiding his true heritage to him wich led to them keeping in touch and the professor helping him out several times, including aiding him with practical information regarding the killing of undead. Azuk'ai visited him often in his home in Ravengro and spent days pouring over manuscripts and passeges in obscure tomes the professor thought interresting to an aspireing undead hunter, his visiting caused much whispering of the locals who held long memories of strange tidings in their town as the one of the scarred babe.
The event led to Azuk'ai developing a deep hatred toward things undead and also a deeper understanding of the dangers presented on the streets of Ustavalite cities during the night. After theese events Azuk'ai spent many nights hunting the things that go bump in the night.
Personality/Beliefs::
Azuk'ai, like most Utalavians, holds a dim outlook to life. Suspicion and paranoia are deeply integrated into his very beeing and trust is somthing of a faraway dream. Nevertheless he strives to make good of himself and hates to see people suffer, seeing himself as the unoficial undead hunter of Ravengro.
