Name: Kagdun of the Ebon Flange
Race: Mira - Ironclaw Tribe
Age: Adult age, lost count of years
Build: A warrior's build. A fight's build. A physique meant to intimidate the meek, and bring about violence.
Hair/Fur: Dirty-off white fur with streaks / spots of darker coloring, ranging from ashy grey to black
Eyes: Sky blue cyan, bright and piercing
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 256 lbs
Equipment: Brass-iron chest plate. Iron chain mail hauberk that goes down to just above the knees. Scale mail gauntlets and boots. A heavy, hand-and-a-half black steel flanged mace, which Kagdun often wields from the back of his mount (a giant albino dire boar with minimal hard-leather barding). These things, sometimes minus the boar, the Miran warleader always carries with him, along with three enchanted items:
A white-gold Miran tail ring) This rune engraved ring, more a circlet fitted around a fluffy tail, gifts the fur-face with unnaturally quick reflexes for his size, but this only activates if Kagdun is attacked from the side or from behind. As such, it also doubles as an early warning system in the events of sneak attacks. As one more added bonus, as long as he wears the ring to sleep, this protective ring's properties continue to work even then.
A violet amethyst studded horned iron helm) Despite the four horns made of raw gemstone, one pointing in each cardinal direction, this helmet comes across as a very crude piece of work, but this is intentional. The purpose of this head wear is incredibly simple, and that's to protect its owner from projectiles...but only the head. Everything from the base of the neck down is fair game, if you have fair aim.
A crackling, warm-to-the-touch shard of obsidian glass) This particular item's uses are twofold. The first activates when placed in the pommel of any melee weapon, and its a rather simple effect. The afflicted weapon becomes wreathed in black-on-white flames, causing strikes and blows dealt to not only burn its victims flesh, but also the mind, disrupting arcane capabilities in equal proportion to damages. This effect can only be used once a day, and only for a fifteen minute interval. The second use is far more complicated, and dangerous. If shattered, a dangerous and nigh-uncontrollable creature, seemingly composed of the same ebony and ivory flame leaps forth, attacking anything and everything in sight, until it burns itself out. This...being...is excessively dangerous, and Kagdun is loathe to release the magic starved elemental unless the situation is incredibly dire, and he can guarantee his own escape.
Skills: Having been raised among the Ironclaw, the Ebon Flange has been trained in the ways of war. Gifted with proficiency in a variety of both armed and unarmed combat, nothing in his wide repertoire comes close to his otherworldly gift with the long mace from which he earned his nickname. A skilled rider as well, and an able, if simplistic, tactician, its no wonder the Mira has managed to accrue a small but steadily growing band of mercenaries, thugs, and raiders.
Brief History: Kagdun doesn't speak much about his life prior to his exile from the Ironclaw. Few, if any, of his merry band of cutthroats know that their leader bears the title of Shahta'an, although not officially, as he was never formally exiled. Instead, his banishment comes in the form of never being able to return, for fear of his own life. His hands are stained with the blood of his kin, a cousin, and a lover who spurned him for said relative. Both were slain by his hand, and when their leader, Raast, found out what he had done, Kagdun's life was considered forfeit. Instead of facing his alpha with courage, and accepting his fate, the one-time coward ran. Ran far, ran fast, and never looked back. He did not escape unscathed, however. Twice, he was nearly caught, and twice, he suffered terrible wounds. Hence why a good three inches is missing from his tail. Why the skin under his fur, particularly around the ribs, spine, and shoulders, are covered in brutal, terrible scar tissue. Why several fangs are missing from his jaw, three in total.
Since then, he's lived the life of a bandit, where he slowly began to make a name for himself. Traveling merchants began to disappear, found gutted. Then, it would escalate to small caravans. Somewhere alone the line, he acquired the skill to ride into combat, and with it, his ferocious flesh-eating white steed, the dire boar Snow Tusk. He cultured a reputation steeped in fear, and power, and such things drew other dangerous folk to his side. Over the years, his numbers have grown, from one, to ten, to forty bordering fifty. Vicious men, deceitful elves, war hungry orcs, the list goes on. Some came with nothing but swords, spears, and shields. Some came with horse or pony. Some came with crossbows and javelins. A couple came with gifts both arcane and divine. A savage group, raiding trade convoys and small fiefs, a scourge to the common folk, and to those caught unaware in general. In the lands in which they roam, few don't know the name of the warband which the Ebon Flange leads, and its banner, tattered and bloodstained.
A mira skull, painted red with sanguine, on a patchwork field of collected flags of surrender and the dried skin of fallen foes. The calling card of the Crimson Pride.
