Zars Krastor
Lord Zars Krastor
Son of Margrave Araccus Krastor and consort Acantha Casteli, Zars was raised in the more enlightened household with the benefits of a Regal noble's education, learning about politics, power, and above all, history, which dominated the lectures of his tutors and his parents, recalling families, virtues, tales and triumphs of a bygone age.
As one of eight children to the House Krastor, Zars was raised with elements of the local Antaril culture, acclimitising each of them with the Antaril culture. The most scandalous element of this to ordinary Regal family structure may be his father's multiple wives - Araccus has five wives, with three daughters and five sons between them.
Valoria Anthaea, last heiress of House Anthaea, his eldest mother, birthed Cassandra and Darius Krastor, his two eldest siblings. Mirithe of Stormseat of Surantas, his second mother, was unable to bear children. Acantha Casteli of the House Casteli was his third mother, who gave birth to him, and Valli, the third son. Native Semele ab'Solash, descendent of the Antaril tribal leaders of the area was his fourth mother, who gave birth to Alindra, his second sister, and to Ismene, his third sister. Miskanyr of Thorn, last heiress of House Thaxis, was his fifth mother, who gave birth to the youngest two brothers, Iason and Menelaus.
Physical Description
Body Features
Trim and fit as a result of diligent military drills and combat training, Zars is a well-muscled soldier, able to march, don heavy armor, and run long distances with relative ease. His skin tone is distinct from the dark of the Antarils and the olive of the Regals, being a dull shade of grey, which deepens to slate and blanches to silver-grey.
Facial Features
Sharp features, aquiline nose and strong jawline, Zars looks every bit the traditional Regal, save for the elements of his genasi heritage; pale speckles discolour his bald head, upper lip and jaw, as well as trailing past his eyebrows to his temples, and they smolder like embers across his chin. When agitated, or drawing on elemental energies, tongues of vibrant orange flame engulf these ashen areas.
Physical quirks
Zars favours his left as his dominant hand. His most noticeable physical feature is usually his incendiary beard.
Special abilities
Though trained as a warrior, Zars received rudimentary magical training, and has been applying himself to channeling his elemental heritage into spells that he can cast to give him additional protective or destructive force on the battlefield.
Specialized Equipment
In battle, Zars typically wears plate armor emblazoned with the gold and black lion of House Krastor, and bears a wrought-iron maul which he wields to devastating effect.
