Raikos (Poetry)
(Played by David W.)

Tiefling Warlord

Biography: Born TH 1830. Raikos was born in the archipelago of Zendankht on TH 1830, December 13 on the Fountain of Fire (the center island). Unlike most other Tieflings in the world of Aleen-gha, Raikos was born into the secluded tiefling society of Zendankht where many tieflings work together to keep their culture alive. Though the tieflings here have managed to maintain a civilized society, there is a constant lingering of destruction due to their devilish heritage and the racial distrust that comes with it. To thwart this danger, the people of Zendankht keep a fair trade system with neighboring countries and islands while always keeping up a strong military in case of invasion, which happens more often than not. Due to the militant environment of Zendankhtic ideology, Raikos naturally joined into the local militia known as the Fervid Eye at the age of 15. For three years he learned the art of leadership as a warlord, and picked up the glaive as his favored weapon shortly after joining. Over time, his companions in the Fervid Eye began to call him Poetry due to his philosophical stances on combat and death. He took on this name with full pride. During the fourth year of his service, however, a group of Duergar pirates raided the northeastern island of Harseis where Raikos was stationed. During the violent battle, Raikos’ most trusted ally and friend since childhood, Brevis, betrayed the Fervid Eye at a crucial moment and managed to frame Raikos for the ruin of Harseis. Raikos managed to escape Zendankht by gaining passage to the neighboring Archipelago of the Coipor Alliance with a halfling merchant. Even though he is unknown within the Coipor Alliance, Raikos still holds an unnatural distrust of his fellow tieflings due to past events. He keeps his symbolic name of Poetry to himself, only willing to share with those he can absolutely trust, if anyone. He has kept a dedication to the path of the warlord and keeps his glaive as a symbol of strength and retribution against anyone who wrongs him. Raikos has come to accept Brevis’ betrayal without question for his motives and is now striving for a new path. This is not to imply that he wouldn't kill the bastard on sight.
