Description
Aoth Fezim is a war mage of Thay. In the late 14 century DR, he was the captain of the Griffon Legion of Pyarados and in the late 15 century DR he was leader of the Brotherhood of the Griffon mercenary company.
He is of Mulan descent though he doesn't look like it with his blunt features and short, stocky frame. His body and hands show the intricate tattooing of a wizard. He wears badges that reveal him as a rider of the elite Griffon Legion. Since he was affected by the Spellplague, Aoth Fezim's eyes show hints of the blue flame retained inside. In an attempt to restore his eyesight, Aoth had sigils of healing and clearvision tattooed above his eyes. He started to wear a dark bandage covering his eyes, though it was no hindrance to his flame-altered sight. Aoth is spell-touched and has not aged since the Spellplague.
Relations
Fezim is known to favor griffons as familiars. The griffon Brightwing was formerly Aoth's familiar. Through their psychic link he could use Brightwing's enhanced senses like his own. Aoth's familiar now is the black griffon Jet.
Personality
Aoth is easy-going by nature. Because the purity of his bloodline was suspect, none of the orders of the Red Wizards of Thay had ever thought to recruit him.
Abilities
The tattoos on his body grant him different kinds of enchantments, such as:
- Sending warmth flowing through his body, which is particularly useful when flying on his griffon;
- Cooling his body when needed;
- Bestowing upon him an enchantment of accuracy; and
- Alleviating magically provoked weakness.
He has spells to sober himself at will. Aoth is able to enhance his night vision through a spell and cast emerald darts from his fingertips. He can conjure darts of blue light from his fingertips that veer to strike even a dodging victim and seldom miss their intended target. Aoth can also conjure a crackling, forking flare of lightning.
Possessions
His primary weapon iss his long spear that serves as a warrior's lance and wizard's staff. He often carries a sword such as a falchion as a secondary weapon. Aoth can summon a flare of silvery light from the head of his spear or a wall of violet flame.
