Jax
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Jax, the Devil of Vansreik, is a tiefling from Farran, a member of The Action Company and the ambassador of the Warmongers. From the moment of his birth his destiny was bound up with a supernatural entity known as The Banker.1
Neptun
Orphaned, Jax was left to make his way through the hard streets of Neptun, running from a troubled past, and there he formed a lasting friendship with Kerwyn. In their formative years the two sharpened their skills by outwitting wealthy merchants and relieving drunken gang members of their valuables, and early in their adventuring careers they built up a hefty fortune. As their skills grew, so did their ambitions, and they set out for the Empire in search of greater opportunity.2
The dragon Zher'kresk
The pair arrived in Vansreik five years ago, aiming for a share of the profits of the city's mercenary market, and joined the Warmongers. Their first mission was to help the Action Company defeat the black dragon Zher'kresk and its goblin clans, keeping the dragon's army from the great cities of the Empire and Vansreik from falling into its claws. Jax and Kerwyn eliminated important targets and played a pivotal part in the dragon's death, and the two parties formed a lasting bond. When two of the Action Company's original four members died in the fight, Jax and Kerwyn took their places.2
The church of Vansreik blessed Jax for his part in saving the city from the goblinoids. Returning to the city in triumph, he took on the role of the Warmongers' ambassador, managing their relations with influential figures of the church and the nobility.3
The Banker
Bound by a pact with the Banker, Jax uses the connection to learn valuable things about his associates and contacts.1
Character and style
Jax is elusive and very hard to strike, with a reactive way of fighting; he likes to place himself between the enemy and his allies as a living bulwark. He fights mainly at close quarters but is equally at home at range, and uses his magic to strengthen his defences. He favours ambushes and Deep Pit missions. He will not kill orphans, he is forgiving towards Neptunians, and he hates witch hunters.1
