Dziy

Dziy is a half-ogre of reddish, oni-like cast who grew up in a tribe near the Great Forest in Olympus. Attacked by a werewolf as a child, his body absorbed the curse - but instead of turning, it left its mark in a pair of strange, pronounced horns, and he has felt an outsider ever since, even among his own kind. He came to hate lycanthropes, and hunts them wherever they hide.

He entered the contest for the Ring not to win, but to make certain no lycanthropes were among the contestants - and to cut them down if they were.

In the City of Raven he can be seen striding through the gates with the torn-off head of a freshly killed werewolf in one hand - proof for the city watch, who do not employ him but will pay for a danger removed, so long as the killing is done beyond their walls. The guards eye him with fear; he does not care. He holds that lycanthropy is a disease made in Mictlān, that there is no cure for evil, and that in cutting a were-beast down he merely delivers it from its torment - though he is quick to scorn the common error of mistaking the Tabaxi, who are no monsters, for the were-tigers he truly hunts.

  • Personality: angry, reclusive, suspicious.
  • Ideal: Vengeance.
  • Bond: The world will never be safe while the curse of the wild exists.
  • Flaw: I do not consider myself bound by any law.
