From: Gabriel Add to Address Book Subject: [NEW, Bane NPC] Lazarus Kane To: palladium@dante.neonexus.com Another NPC (I'm on a Kane/Cain/Cane kick ) for PFRPG. A few more rules broken, including the fact that I combined the MA forms like I talked about a month or two ago. Oh, and this is for 2nd edition, so he's not a great deal more powerful than another character.

His father was a monk at a monastery in the Old Kingdom Mountains, his mother a local peasant. His father, in a moment of weakness, broke his vow of chastity. Despite his mother's wishes, Lazarus was placed under the tutelage of the monks. Since then he has been studying the martial ways. He recently had a vision which told him to go into the world and help others. If he did, a great quest would come before him. If he succeeded, nothing would be beyond his grasp. Lazarus then gathered his gear and his sword and set out from the Old Kingdom Mountains. In his journeys he has befriended the fairies and fought the Nimro giants. It was only through his skill and intelligence that he lived. As he journeyed East he began to encounter the Ogre tribes. After saving a small farming village from Ogre raiders, he was given a small reward of 100 gold and then he set out once again. Lazarus looks to be about 27 years old, and is extremely fit. He is rather muscular for an elf, but this doesn't slow him down. He has thick black hair which reaches to his shoulders when not tied back and bright green eyes. His skin is relatively pale, somewhat surprising due to his exposure to the elements. Lazarus wears a black hakama (loose pants), a heavy black cotton vest, and black sandles laced tightly to his knees. At times he also wears leather gauntlets with metal plating so that he can parry sword strikes. Across his back he carries a Pok Dau, the executioner's sword. It is extremely well made: he spent nearly fifty years working on it at the monastery. He only uses his sword as a last resort, when he is faced with a superior opponent or one who is very well armed. He also carries a light pack with a woolen cloak strapped to the top for inclement weather.
