{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}
A tall and muscular man, it's clear that Azhke has led a hard life. While still possessing the ethereal sort of beauty of his kind, his skin is rough and marked, with callouses on his hands and several scars across his knuckles and torso. His skin is a dark grey, and his hair is a deep, deep black that reflects no light at all. The most striking part of him is his eyes, a vibrant blue purple with paler pupils and blue sclera.

He tends to favor dark, simple clothing with no real baubles to speak of, mostly because it hides dirt a lot better. In addition to the leather bracers common in Connlaothian fashion, he also wraps thin fabric around his hands and knuckles to serve as rudimentary gloves, and his prized possession is a piece of fur he wears over his shoulders in cold weather.

{PERSONALITY}
Snarky, sneaky, dishonest, with a very "looking out for number one" attitude. He doesn't hold much loyalty to... anyone, and the only real line he stands for is the bottom one.

Fun Facts!:

• Likes making small firecrackers out of paper and black powder. Also handy distraction tools if you stick them all in a bucket and run.
• Can't read. He recognizes some markings and all, but aside from simple words he's lost.
• Don't ask him where he got his jerky from.
• Seriously, you don't want to know.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
He's so sneaky. So, so sneaky. Dude just appears out of nowhere sometimes, I swear.
Also has standard elven sensory abilities, enhanced sight and hearing and the ability to see some distance in the dark with no light to aid him.

{RELATIONSHIPS}
His bibi disappeared as soon as he was born, out of shame. His opo never fessed up to making him. So it was largely other Horizons who looked after his upbringing, but he never quite came to feel much of anything for any of them.

Has a fair network of connections in the seedy underbelly of the city. Nothing major, but he does know who to go to to sell stolen goods and where to get jobs.

{HISTORY}
It was hard growing up like Azhke did. Born out of Resonance, and thus House Horizon, the elves under no star, Azhke would always be an outcast. Rather than sit around waiting to "prove himself worthy" to his home community, Azhke took off into the southlands at the young, young age of 90 and ended up in Connlaoth. There, with even less of a support network, he was forced to learn to fend for himself, and happily took to the profession of picking locks. And he's been quietly filching  ever since.
