". . . I'm not sure if you're unreasonably clever or incredibly stupid. But one thing's for sure, Garrak. You have balls of brass." ~ Balthazar De'Medici.

Garrak Ilosi Varaq'Bu appears in his mid twenties and sports a grin which never fades even in opposing victory. He wishes for nothing more than to beat the acknowledgement and status of his forefathers.

He is known through his association with the more domineering of the outer-planes: those in the highest ranks of armies caught in never ending wars; those more audacious servants of the divine who sought to spread influences. And through these, for his ability to deliver magic of the old and forgotten to help the significant through their conquests.

Garrak can be seen drinking heavily or smoking relentlessly, he would claim, as a consequence of his brilliance.

Appearance and Presentation

Standing around 6'6", Garrak is taller than most. His hair is short, his skin is a purple shade of obsidian and his legs are jointed in a fiendish fashion. He appears with a fast, lean and powerful body that discovered luxury and leisure, keeping a consistent smell of ash and tobacco that is no doubt a mixture of his heritage and his habits. But despite his short horns, wide wings and flexible tail Garrak is regarded as having remarkably suppressed attributes for a Half-Fiend. He is capable of forming grins that hide his fangs and so has a face that seems natural and perhaps even comely. But even if he does possess the physical qualities of a well-mannered tiefling Garrak has an ambience that betrays him. He has the aura of a fiend: It reveals the cunning beneath his compliments and the malice behind his smiles. It turns his cool amber eyes into incinerating embers when he stares. It warns of the dangers of a Half-Fiend, and how they're born for evil.

Garrak moves with both grace and power and always dresses in decorated outfits expensive either for their looks or their quality.

Background and History

It’s not really known how Garrak came to be, or why it is that he would have the heritage of demons. Some hypothesise that it was through greedy rituals of mortals while others speculate it was the wrathful ceremonies of the fiends.

What is known is that Garrak spent the beginnings of his history in the Abyss, surviving between the perilous environments of the infinite layers by playing to the games of the demons. He has claimed to have participated in the never-ending Blood Wars until it was that his aspirations and goals were decided. Now he wanders the planes, acquiring items of great renown and devastating use to distribute them to the entities that would grant him power for the trade.

Personality and Character

The question of Garraks age has never been answered and it appears he does not know himself. But he can at least be considered old, possessing of a jaded world view that he defends with experience. He regards the subject of morality as the difference between the community and the individual and seems to take great pride in critically observing those forces of good, hinting at a dark bitterness underneath.

Garrak can be courteous and well-mannered and he can be generous, at least to his closest allies. He likes to play with etiquette, exercising its rules even in the presence of his enemies, which are numerous.

Whether Garrak succumbs to his fiendish heritage or is rather more accepting of his human blood might depend on who you ask. And when. It is quite clear he is a Cambion possessing of a fickle mood, presenting himself sometimes with a peculiar demeanour and an alien impracticality. And this is despite clearly being educated in the social mores of many races. But he would describe himself as pragmatic, acting without faith or allegiance and so behaving exactly as he must in order to get what he wants, which could just be a bit of amusement if he really does believe in the pointlessness of all things. This caution of events and illusiveness of motive makes Garrak hard to assess for authenticity, but at least it can be said he has a fondness for theatrics. So some may say Garrak is ruthless and calculating, possessing words that always try to manipulate, while others may call him careless with the temperament of a genie.
