Phirouz, also known as Azzerrad, was a Syrian renegade who acquired the favor of an emir and gained command of three towers in Antioch. His betrayal of the city to Bohemond during the Crusades marked him as a pivotal figure in the fall of Antioch, demonstrating how individual actions could shift the balance of power during the Crusades.

Description

An adult Syrian man whose practical clothing suggests both his renegade status and his military command. His bearing reflects someone who has acquired favor and power, with the calculating presence of one who understands the value of strategic positions.
