Abjur Family

Vladamire Abjur

(Warrior/Diplomat) Minister of Offense, Ambassador to other realms, and knight in the service of Outer Tilog City in Outer Tilog among the Colonies under Duke Angus. Formerly Viscount of Bode Batura, Martial of the M.C.C.T. of Outer Tilog and knight in the service of Outer Tilog City in Outer Tilog among the Colonies under Duke Angus.

The younger of the Abjur Brothers, Vladamire Abjur is considered a fool by some and a brilliant tactician and ambassador by others. "Silver tongued snake" is a term tossed around frequently when discussing this Hilly Holes native. His plotting lost Outer Tilog city, the capital of his realm, yet an overwhelmingly large number of the other nobles still keep him in office, so he's obviously suited to Outer Tilog politics. He spearheaded the peace agreement between Outer Tilog and Lukon, and helped forge the long standing and close alliance between Outer Tilog and the Assassin Guild. Rumor has it that several realms have interest in recruiting him despite his Tilogian nature. He became ennobled after a stint as clerk and receptionist of the Ministry of Entertainment & Tourism, where he became intimately familiar with Outer Tilog law and mace use.

He's best known for his Cult of The Eye (a slavishly loyal sub-sect cult of the Apostles of the Abyss who worship a specific unknown Daemon that he rules over as a pseudo-messiah figure and uses as spies and shock troopers) and the large number of bloodless bodies found by Giblot looters in his mansion in OTC. No Giblot soldier has dared enter that building since. He is believed to practice the dark arts of Daemonology and Necromancy with wild abandon and is a strong supporter of the Apostles of the Abyss, being one of the founding (non-priestly) members of that religion. Rumors persist that Vladamire is a member of the undead, a vampire, but no solid evidence has yet turned up.

His form is tall and thin and ghostly pale, often draped in a heavy black mantle even on warm days for protection from the sun, he wears the "purple helmut" of his office reluctantly due to it's size and ornateness, and in times of battle frequently wears brigandine armor for protection. He's never seen without his scythe, his preferred weapon. He wears his dark hair long and lose and is notable for his elongated canines, which are always visible when he speaks or smiles.

Aramon Abjur

(Warrior/Hero) Currently Shadow Tyrant, formerly Count of Hulaferd in the service of Assassins. Formerly a knight in the service of Alebad City in Alebad among the Colonies under Sir Eugene II Woodford, Duke of Alebad. Formerly a knight in the service of Ibyp in Taselak on SEI under Lady Lindsy.

The older of the Abjur Brothers, Aramon Abjur believes in an idealized form of honor, so much so that as a young man he fled his birthplace of Outer Tilog and grew up on the South East Island in Taselak where he was raised to knighthood. A proud warrior, his skill with the sword often saw him in the forefront of Taselak's push outward after Ikalak betrayed Toren, ironically when they had Taselak all but defeated.

As a member of Taselak, one of his last acts in her service (and one of the last acts of the war) was to loot the vaults of her enemy in Ikalak City bare before the island sunk, only just escaping being swallowed up by the waves himself with a bag stuffed with gold tucked under one arm. As part of Alebad, he fought her longtime foes Lukon and Oritolon in the field and on her walls, suffering several wounds for his trouble. When Craft Titanus, then Judge of Alebad, insulted his bravery and honor when Aramon counciled finding a peaceful resolution to their war, Aramon slew him in a duel, striking the judge for several minor wounds before slaying him with one terrific blow. After Alebad City fell, he moved north and joined the realm of the Assassins, where he now serves and has taken part in several successful campaigns under that banner. Most recently, he has served as Count of Hulaferd (several times) in the Guild's attempt to tame the wild people there. After the mysterious disappearance of the former Shadow Tyrant, he found himself forced to offer himself for the role, and surprisingly won the position in a narrow victory.

Aramon typically wields a long heavy cavalry saber both in battle and when dueling, and his face and massive body are covered in ritualistic scars and tattoos that he prefers not to speak of and often covers in warpaint, making him look more like a savage than civilized noble, an impression reinforced by his filed teeth. He has pale skin and dark hair like his brother, but wears it in a mass of braids. Like most Outer Tilogian born nobles Aramon is a cannibal, but he restrains his urge for human flesh and reserves it for foes he's slain in battle (and the occasional rebellious peasant).
