History and Lore[]
Krazhul was once a human wizard studying magics in a time when even healing magic was considered profane. Krazhul while studying began to question why magics that could help people were forbidden. He began experimenting and before long he came to realize his philosophy. Old age is a disease that must be irradiated. At some point he turned to lichdom as a way to avoid death by old age and to allow him more time to research into a way to provide humanity with a cure for old age.
At some point he became involved with the Code of Heroes/Villains possibly being around for its conception. His role of course would be that of a villain. Being a ”Villian” in his line of work is utterly quite simple. Kidnap the damsel, optional torture, hero saves girl, girl falls in love with hero, happily ever after, repeat. He followed this code with his assigned hero Treebark fighting against each other for centuries. Treebark and him while being enemies developed a friendship after knowing each other for many years.
Biography[]
First Appearance[]
A short while after the Aegis interviews Andraste returned to her cottage to wait for the news. A bubbling river erupted and out crawled Krazhul but was not heard by Andraste. He approached from behind to find a small grove and the girl singing looking into the fire before her. The lanky shadow introduced itself as Krazhul. After trying to converse with the stranger, Andraste did all she could...RUN. But it ended with no success. He was looking for Treebark and was not about to be patient, so he scooped her up and kidnapped her.
An Unrequited Love[]
On December 19th, 2018 returning to his castle from a day that ended with his ring accidentally being destroyed by Sebastian with his disguise foiled and in need of a new ring, Krazhul went to speak privately about a seemingly playful subject with Andraste that took a turn leading into a confession of love by Andraste. Before he could rebut Nom and Ion entered the room stating that she was very hungry so Krazhul and Andraste went to find her some nourishment. He went to find the meal at Krazhuls old village where things didn’t go that much better. Krazhul descended into the depths of the sea and returned with a enormous gaping mawed eel, finding Andraste singing to herself. After what seemed like forever she mustered up the courage to say the three words she always wanted to say, “I love you.” Angered Krazhul in a silent out burst questioned her why she said it now when they know they have to help Nom and that they will finish "this" later. After long silences and through tears Andraste asked “Would you want me to get rid of me?” Krazhul briefly has a desire to send her away and never see her again. But he went against it and began his own confession. He had always loved her but he was scared of what repercussions would happen to her. He said “Once I figure it out... I‘ll become good and people wouldn’t have known I was evil in the first place.” And thus the rest is history and the two started an official courtship with each other and couldn't be happier.
Personality[]
Krazhul is literally rotten to the core and doesn’t see himself as a good person but he is a gentleman at heart. As he said “I am not a firefly or a wisp.... I am the death that follows it.” But when he is around Andraste he seems to be more easily flustered when it come to romantic advances. When with her he’s the happiest he can be. One of his strongest beliefs is that even if he did change people would still only see him as a Lich and nothing more. But most importantly is that no matter what even if it meant the deaths of Andraste, Treebark, Bookmark, or even himself.... it would all be worth it just to complete his goal.
Krazhul’s personal longtime goal is to find a way to stop the aging process for humanity. He views age as a wasted way to die because of your expiration date. Nothing can and will stop him from working himself to the bone (literally) to fix this wrought act that was given to man.
