Azwellus (Ancient-Born, Inquisitor): No last name is given to this being's tragic identity. The one called Azwellus was abandoned by their parents almost immediately at birth, and it was only thanks to their unnatural abilities they managed to survive this long. Azwellus is a dhampir, but not just any dhampir, he is the offspring of a nosferatu! Embodying the worst aspects of the undead curse, in conjunction with the frailties of a mortal body, Azwellus would eventually grow up to become a creature who despised the very concept of existence itself. At first, he tried using his vampiric abilities to force people to accept him into society, but that didn't last long, as the wasting sickness of his heritage rapidly (by dhampir standards) began to sap what charisma he had among the common folk.

One night, Azwellus finally caved in to despair, unable to cope with the nature of his tortured existence any longer. He fell to his knees and howled out to whatever god that would listen to give him a reason, any reason, for why he should continue on in such a state. And that is when the spirit of Rovagug made contact with him. It told the half dead creature that he was right to be angry. This world's continued existence was an abomination, one that should be eradicated as swiftly as possible. The Rough Beast spoke to him of promises to end his suffering as soon as it was freed from its prison. But before that could happen, it would need a lot of mindless destruction to loosen the binds that held it in place.

On that day, Azwellus became one of the most devout worshipers the followers of Rovagug had ever seen. Not content with the role of a mere priest, he gave himself to the life of an inquisitor, hunting down those who would threaten the faithful's divine mission to free their master. While most worshipers of the Rough Beast might think killing everything that moves is the best way to free their lord, Azwellus has a more methodical approach to getting things done. He operates with a level of cunning and manipulation almost unheard of among the faithful. But whatever his schemes may appear to be, they always have the same long term goal in mind; Free Rovagug, and bring about the apocalypse!

-------------------------------------------

Azwellus is a dhampir who currently appears to be in his mid 50's. Because of his Nosferatu heritage, his body is subject to aging at roughly the same rate as a normal human. His muscles are already starting to show signs of withering, and his skin is sickeningly pale in color. Despite his advanced aging process, however, his body language suggests that he is a man on a mission, with a gaze of such malice that it's a wonder people don't just burst into flames when he looks at them! His hair, once black as the night, had faded with age, becoming streaked with gray and thinning in to more wisp-like strands.

While one could hardly say he is finely dressed, Azwellus does present himself with pride. His outfits, though made for those of the lower class, are kept in immaculate condition whenever he has the opportunity. And they often bare the sacred colors of Rovagug (brown and red) to show his fellow worshipers that he is one of them.

As an inquisitor of Rovagug, Aswellus derives power from the domain of Chaos. Believing that barbarism and social anarchy is the most effective way to free Rovagug from his prison, Azwellus strives to tear down the foundations of society, and allow Rovagug to feed off the widespread chaos that follows such actions.

As a dhampir, Azwellus must feed on the fresh blood of elves in order to stave off his blood thirst. He developed a craving for their blood early in his life, when he desperately tried to fend off the wasting sickness by stealing the youthful vitality of such beings. It didn't work, obviously, but that didn't stop his body from acclimating to the taste.
