Azrok

The warchief of the Legion, Azrok’s military acumen and influence as a speaker are undeniable. His power to inspire his people through the worst of hardships makes him a beacon of morale, and a rallying point for all who would hear his words. Though he chases glory in the manner befitting a hobgblin, he also holds himself to a strong code of ethics by which he engages in his conquest. Though he subdues and lays low those who oppose him, he holds in contempt those who would pillage without concern or act as beasts. He does not engage in needless cruelty or humiliation, and treats his foes on the battlefield with honour and respect. In many ways, he is the pivotal unit preventing the Legion of Azrok from simply being a careless, conquering horde. His father, Telgen, long told him stories of a hidden place in Undermountain known as the Citadel of the Bloody Hand, a promised land where the Legion could eat, drink, and fight to their heart’s content. This dream burns hot within Azrok, and he will do anything to get there. Azrok bears a secret that he keeps from those outside of his innermost circle: he was born blind. For all his life, he has depended on a dagger of blindsight (rare weapon, attunement, provides 60’ blindsight) to get by and achieve all that he has. Mechanically, Azrok is a hobgoblin warlord.
