Azule StrongArm (3.5e NPC)
Early Life
Azule StrongArm was raised by his human father, carpentar and woodsman Yacob StrongArm. His father had been raped by an orc female who, when discovering her pregnancy, returned and left the child with the human. Azule was raised in a hard working conservative environment.
Rise to Power
When Azule reached his early twenties his human father passed away. Feeling disconnected from the small village nearby afterwards, he decided to travel. His rounds led him into the Uriktar Army with a few individuals who would become his life-long companions known as Meloku's Gang: Nathaniel "Meloku" Essex, Dusk, Aiden Redstone, and Rurik Ulfgar.
After serving in the military for some time, the group became a specialist corp and began researching Lord Erik Sternhelm. The rich and lavish noble had at some point began an evil plot and began to build an undead army. After a long hard legendary journey and battle(which can be heard in Douie Solitude & The Solitude Seven's The Fall of Sternhelm), the band destroyed the noble and his entire army.

Stat Notes
Some of the information provided may be erroneous if Azule is used outside of the Valgora campaign setting. Removed the following skills: Knowledge (terror) and Perform (march). Select the feats out of the ones provided (giving only the normal amount of feats provided for a character of Azule's classes and level. Note that the initial campaign Azule was in used an outdated rule set for Base Ability statistical stacking that allowed such a high score, and should be removed from newer 3.5 or more standard interpretations of the game. Azule's skill point total will appear off above because he actually used the Multitasker feat (in the Valgora setting this feat isn't required as this is a basic rules change, so Azule did not lose the feat spot). If your campaign does not use this, you should alter Azule's spot, listen, move silently, and hide skill points to appropriate levels.
