Baltazar

The Prophet of the True Gods Baltazar of Nerzurt

I once saw him. Never had I seen a mystic of his magnitude. He spoke whit a confidence and conviction few other mystics I have seen had. He told of two gods, a Father and a Mother, that where to only true gods. According to him and his followers all other gods are just masks borne by this two.   A odd idea that. That all the gods of the Empire are just masks. But when he speaks it is whit such passion and conviction that it is hard not to listen. Listen and believe. Not only that, but I have seen the scars the desert left on him. Where most mystics only speak of walking the wild world he has truly done so.   Even I start to wonder. Could what he say be the truth?

  • Physical Description

    General Physical Condition

    After his walk in the Rakh'Gual desert he walked whit a limp because of a wound he got fighting of a wild hound. Besides that he was in good health for most of his life, even tho he tended to over strain himself at times.

    Body Features

    He had somewhat darker skin then most Khainar. He also had something of a bent posture do to his bad leg and tendency to bend over his walking staff.

    Facial Features

    Baltazar had a kind face whit a trimmed beard and middle long hair*. He is often depicted as smiling a warm fatherly smile.   * To long by modern Khainar standards.

    Identifying Characteristics

    Ironically the prophet had a very common appearance. Something he would himself point out saying:
    I am not a man of great strength, nor great beauty. At first glance I am just a man like any other. But that is because I am just that! I am a man, just a man like any other. It is not I that am important but the words given to me by the true gods!

    Apparel & Accessories

    He was most often seen wearing a simple robe and holding his walking staff. Said staff would after his death be seen as a relic and one of the many things his sons fought over.

    Personality Characteristics

    Likes & Dislikes

    Loved

    Baltazar loved his family and his people. He would often say:
    I love, all of you, just as the Holy Father and Holy Mother loves us all!
     

    Hated

    But he hated the slave system of the Empire. He saw it as the greatest of injustice in the world. He would often say:
    No man has the right to own another man! And no women has the right to own another woman! No child is greater then all other children! To call some of us "masters" and others "slaves" are a evil abomination! And all should fight this creation of Greed and Pride!

    Virtues & Personality perks

    He was known for being a very passionate speaker and yet a calm and rational debater. Few whom spoke to him where unmoved by his words. He even convinced some of the skeptics to join his movement. Something that most mystics deemed impossible.

    Vices & Personality flaws

    Tho he was seldom angered his wrath was something horrible to behold. He once struck a legionnaire so hard that the man lost a tooth. He was also weak for alcohol, a weakness that shamed him greatly. As a result he would seldom partake of any strong drink.

    Personality Quirks

    Baltazar had a habit of raising his eyes up towards the sky when speaking to the people. As if looking for guidance from above. Ha also tended to stroke his beard when listening to someone.   But he is perhaps most known for his passionate gesturing when speaking about the gods or injustice.
