Brother Lazarus

Brother Lazarus (or Laz to his few friends), is a short, youthful looking human from Polos in Santia. He has deeply tanned skin, deep blue eyes and wild black hair which he doesn't care to keep tidy. He generally wears dark clothes over the armour which he is rarely seen without, and uses a deep hood to hide his face when in public.

In battle, Laz utilises two swords - a worn shortsword and simple rapier - which he keeps in two crossed scabbards which hang at his lower back. He also has a good arm with a throwing dagger, which he keeps strapped to his right thigh. There are also rumours of Laz wielding some degree of divine power on occasion, although there is little proof of this.

Laz is noticeably nervous around organised crime members - in particular the Black Jackals. He tends to avoid gang territory in Polos and takes a great deal of interest in whatever is going on in the criminal underbelly of the city.

Laz always tries to be polite and charming around strangers, but is deeply untrusting of them. He keeps his history vague and will generally probe for information while revealing as little about himself as possible - or outright lying if need be. What Laz is very open about however, is his worship of the sea goddess Umberlee - and he will sing her praises to anyone willing to listen.

In recent weeks, Laz has been spotted escorting a young mute boy with red hair and eyes. It's unclear as to why he's doing so, but he appears to be very protective of the lad - even if it means putting himself in danger. He has also been taking on more freelance work, apparently amassing coin for some unknown purpose.
