– INSENSITIVE, OBTUSE, OBNOXIOUS

Azhar Khal'drossi can be summed up in three words: loud-mouthed idiot. He is brash, fearless, bold and perpetually talks like he's speaking in ALL-CAPS. He certainly can get on people's nerves with his rambunctious personality. Azhar is also wholly incapable of reading the room and frequently crosses invisible social boundaries. Because of this, he can come off as insensitive and rude, but he doesn't mean it. He's just an ignorant mongrel and if confronted about his behavior, he'll try to knock it back a peg or two. (He's a good boy at heart.)Because he was a beast living on primal instincts for most of his life, Azhar does not understand societal sensibilities. For example, he sees nothing wrong with eating human children. To him, they're just pesky little things anyways. Yet, despite his dubious principles, the hellhound is dependable and loyal to a fault. Once he considers someone as part of his "pack" he is forever a devoted friend and ally.Azhar's emotions can flip on the flick of a switch. It is as easy to provoke him into a rage as it is to placate him with a simple treat. His emotions vary widely and easily, making him quite unpredictable at times. However, his most notable trait is his indominable spirit. Regardless of how insurmountable of an obstacle, he will face it head on and with a steadfast determination.

Background

From the ashes of a wildfire the ifrit woke, his maw hungering for the taste of flesh. Devour, devour, devour, like how a wildfire consumes everything in its path. That was all the ifrit knew.The beast became an infamous name for travelers that would brave the desert of Al Ruwa, particuarly near the region of Al Bhadir. Thus known as the Hellhound of Al Bhadir, this monster born of fire terrorized the sands for half a century. That was, until the Sultanate had had enough and put a bounty on the Hellhound's head, calling for mercenaries to rid them of the menace that threatened their trade routes. Thus, the hunter became the hunted.However, the Hellhound of Al Bhadir was a fierce and uncontrollable force of nature. He scorched, he burned, and he ate all of the foolhardy hunters that came for his head. However, of course, that could not last. The more he killed the more notorious his reputation became. Eventually, even the celebrated Pale Wolves answered the call and the Hellhound of Al Bhadir was bested by one of theirs – a pale unnamed hunter.As the Hellhound lay in the sands, heaving his final breaths, the pale hunter kneeled next to him and placed a hand on his bleeding hide. It was a gentleness that the ifrit was not accustomed to; after all, he only ever knew the harshness of the unforgiving dunes where the only rule was to eat or be eaten.The pale hunter said to him: "I was once a monster like you, desperate to survive in a desolate and bleak world. Yet even monsters like you and I deserve a chance at life."Then, the pale hunter left without severing his head to present to the Sultan. For an inconceivable reason, his life had been spared. The ifrit was left to ponder these words. This act of clemency sparked the embers of change within his heart. He questioned for the first time, why do I burn, why do I devour, why do I persist?Then as he lay, recovering from his wounds, a vision of a burning wheel came to him in his feverish state. Its words branded itself on the ifrit's soul: "Will is a beast of burden. Find your path and blaze forth, Hound of mine."When the ifrit woke, he was granted a brand upon his brow and the ability to take on a new human form. From then on, he wandered the lands of Nadir as a man and not a beast. He crossed the desert sands. He traveled across the continent. Eventually, he even took on a name, Azhar Khal'drossi, gifted to him by a dear companion on the road.After another half-century of walking the lands on two feet, Azhar came to a (belated) conclusion that he must find the pale hunter who had spared him. The beast inside him hungered to challenge him once more, but it was not only the thirst of battle that drove him. For Azhar owed this man a life's debt and an eternal gratitude for granting him this second life.However, the ifrit had no sense of a short-lived species' limited years. By the time he arrived in the capital of the Pale Wolves, the pale hunter had long since passed. Still, Azhar decided to stay with the Order. After all, the pale hunter had served in their ranks. Perhaps he too could blaze his path forward from here.And so the Hellhound of Al Bhadir, becomes a whelp of the Pale Wolves.
