Zardoz Zord is the captain and owner of the Sea Maiden's Faire, a traveling circus and carnival that sails up and down the Sword Coast, performing in various major cities. Currently, they are staying in Waterdeep until winter. Unabashed in all he does, Zardoz Zord never wears anything more than his fancy hat, his bandoliers, finely made leather boots, and a leather speedo.
 
He is a flamboyant, jovial, kind, and gracious man. Unconcerned with city politics, his only aim is to bring joy and wonder to the hearts of people everywhere. When not cavorting around the city promoting the debut of the Sea Maiden's Faire, he spends his time on his personal ship, The Eyecatcher, anchored in the harbor, rehearsing with his all-human crew, indulging in his weakness for delectable foods and libations, or seducing any man or woman that stirs his loins.
