Moxo
MinorMoxo lounges in the shadows like a hyena savoring a lazy afternoon, the sweet haze of his vape pen curling around his furred muzzle. There's a rough-edged nonchalance to him, fangs glinting in a half-smirk that hints at stories untold in the dungeon's depths. You can't help but wonder what keeps a beast like him puffing away amid the chaos.
Moxo debuts in Book 5 as an unassuming gnoll mercenary assigned to Carl’s personal detail during the opulent preparations for the Butcher’s Masquerade. While the event spirals into carnage, Moxo remains a steady, background presence—vape pen in paw—escorting the crawler through the masquerade’s lethal festivities. Across the series, he evolves from anonymous muscle into a quietly reliable fixture of Carl’s expanding retinue, his understated loyalty hinting at deeper future significance.
Physical Description
Moxo is a hulking adult male gnoll with the classic hyena-like build—broad-shouldered and muscular at around seven feet tall, covered in mottled brown and tan fur that's patchy from mercenary life. His elongated muzzle sports sharp yellowed fangs, piercing yellow eyes, and perked ears atop a head that tilts with casual interest. A distinguishing vape pen dangles from a holster on his battered leather armor, reinforced with dented metal plates and a ragged cloak. He carries himself with a slouched, laid-back vigilance, clawed paws relaxed yet ready, a faint vapor trail often emanating from his nostrils.
