Kazoth is a lean, muscular half-orc, starting to show the signs of age: a face wrinkled at the eyes with crow's feet, and greying hair on his grizzled countenance. Known as the Rake for his easygoing, casual attitude, he nevertheless has seen the group through some difficult times. He moves easily and with an oiled grace that belies his bulk, and has proven himself a useful warrior as well as a cunning and stealthy scout. 

He has enjoyed all the successes of the party as they triumphed over evil, but never had the inclination to take up the mantle of power. For the last five years, he has served as Gregor's first spy and scout, and has spent long periods in the monster-ridden mountains, trying to pry out the secrets of which menace will next rise to trouble the people. He has recently returned from the last of these trips and is spending some well-earned time at the feasthalls and amongt his friends, and to pursue another of his interests. Since Gregor gained power, and the party was gifted the key to the town, Kazoth has set about campaigning hard to make the land a place less xenophobic and more firendly toward those humanoids who only want to live peacefully, despite their bestial appearances. Having faced such prejudice repeatedly in the past, he now seeks to counter it as best he can, now that he is able - and has proven surprisingly good at it. On his travels, it was this impulse which caused him to befriend an exiled kobold warrior by the name of Soleghur. Soleghur and Kazoth do not always share the same views, but Kazoth has a great deal of patience for Soleghur's sometimes strange ways, and will defend him against those who would persecute the kobold. 

Kazoth is rarely seen without his favourite leather coat, and is almost never seen without his hat. When armed, it is always with his trusy crossbow, which which he has felled many an enemy, and with his surprisingly large sword, capable of dealing deadly blows. A variety of magical trinkets and potions are hidden around and about his many pockets, and many more are kept stashed in a bag of holding under his coat. 

Throughout his life, Kazoth has variously maintained attitudes of grim determination, quick-witted humour, and irreverence. He knows that in this world, one falls or stands on one's friends, and it is genuine friendship that motivates his respect for his companions, as well as the will to bring about more good in the land. 

It is a very nice hat, though.
