Kestmulnahkruziik

Kestmulnahkruziik, or simply "Kest," is a blue-scaled, immortal dragonborn mercenary and one of the leaders of the Aurum Order. Born into the dragonborn empire of Arkhosia, Kest has lived for over a millennium.

Description
Kest could be described as a towering wall of meat, scales and bone. His scales are a brilliant sheen of zaffre, with his snout darkening to navy blue. His green cat-like eyes are deeply inset and have ridges above them. A row of short horns extend from the ridges above his eyes and extend to the top of his head, and splines on the back of his head resemble hair. His jaw is wide set, and a collection of tusks underneath his chin resemble a goatee. When his mouth is closed, some of Kest's teeth remain visible.

Kest's face carries many light facial scars, with a few deeper on left side of his face, including a very deep one that extends towards the front down past the neckguard of his armor.

His body gives off the scent of ozone.

Early life
Kest was born in -21 GD within the dragonborn empire of Arkhosia. He grew to become a warrior that fought in the war with the Empire of Bael Turath.

In -4 GD, Kest was deployed with a platoon on a mission to assassinate a powerful enemy spellcaster, Keliesh at Sheshbu’s Keep. After a battle that killed nearly all of Kest's platoon, Keliesh was slain while she was casting a time-stop spell, and the spell triggered in an incomplete state, striking Kest. It took a couple of decades for Kest to realize that his physical body had stopped aging, and he attributed it to the spell mishap of that day so many years ago.

Following the collapse of Arkhosia in 0 GD, Kest escaped with other refugees beyond civilized lands. In 37 GD, after decades of wandering in exile with other dragonborn and becoming the leader of a small clan, Kest attempted to reunite the dragonborn clans to found a new dragonborn empire without dragons as its leaders. During a summit that he managed to organize, Kest was ambushed, and the summit devolved into open fighting. Disenchanted, Kest abandoned all hope for his people and left the dragonborn clans completely.

Mercenary Career
After leaving behind the dragonborn, Kest returned to civilized lands and applied his training and extreme competence at soldiering to earning a living as a mercenary for hire.

Kest was hired to assassinate a lord of Nerath in 683 GD, but the lord counter-offered and hired Kest as his personal bodyguard until the day he died of old age in 736.

From 849 until 872, Kest worked with the Unbroken Blades and developed a strong respect for the dwarven captain of the company.

In 960 GD, Kest was recruited by the Iron Boars and fought in the Invasion of Hell as a mercenary.

In 1002 GD, Kest was sent on a mission to shut down a crime syndicate in the Kingdom of Galefridus. The mission succeeded, but Kest was the sole survivor of the team he led.

In 1005 GD, Kest left the employ of the Iron Boars to pursue an independent contract to assassinate a Farraji politician. After a failed attempt, Kest was imprisoned in Al-Katraz.

The Aurum Order
A few days after Kest was imprisoned, he was visited by a man who called himself B. B recruited Kest into his employ by offering him more interesting times that what he had in the past, and assigned Kest to join the Aurum Order.

B sent the Aurum Order on multiple missions. In 1005 GD, while pilfering a tomb during a mission, Kest acquired his magic battleaxe, Asenkhoth’s Wrath.

Death
In 1011 GD, Kest was hunted by an apparent Obsidian Watcher. On a mission to protect him, Ania, Straza, Wranbalar, Row, Kragg, and Kest die.
