Ozgard
SupportingA colossal black-skinned bald shaman of immense girth towers over those around him, his face and body alive with swirling bright blue rune tattoos that interlock across his features and bare arms. Thick arcane eyebrows overshadow his unexpectedly childlike face while only scarred keloid holes remain where ears once were, and his right hand twists like a mass of ginger roots. He moves wrapped in a glossy cloak of raven feathers cinched by a scarlet scale belt, red scale boots on his feet and a massive fourteen-point elk horn headdress rising from his brow, the tips crusted in dried blood. His left hand bears seven heavy rings set with rubies and diamonds, and he carries a dragonbone staff when performing rituals.
Ozgard first appears in Dark Age as a towering, rune-covered shaman whose childlike face belies his formidable presence and manipulative influence within Obsidian society. Wrapped in raven feathers and crowned with blood-crusted elk horns, he serves as Sefi Volarus's spiritual advisor, wielding a dragonbone staff to conduct rituals that shape the Volk's destiny amid interstellar war. His twisted hand and scarred form mark him as a figure of arcane power whose counsel proves both guiding and self-serving, hinting at deeper ambitions that could alter alliances in later conflicts.
