Arvakirak

Race: Advanced Boneclaw (???) | (Ogre mage during the Bloodstained Age)
Class: ??? | (Fighter 2/Crusader 4 the Bloodstained Age)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil | (Lawful Neutral during the Bloodstained Age)

Description: A high ranked enforcer of the Claws of Orcus. Ruthless, arrogant but at the same time surprisingly crafty for an undead being whose main vices would consist of sadism and spectrum of activities 'brutal' even for the standards of the infinite layers of the Abyss.

During the Bloodstained Age:

Arvakirak was (together with his siblings: Keritsidorv and Sirvakar) commanding the combined remnants of giant tribes living in hiding, deep within the forests surrounding Old Castle Darnten and the encampment around which it was built. In order to fulfill their grand objective, that being a rebirth of ancient giant empire, the ogre mages allied themselves with the Duke of Death in exchange for the right to loot the ancient artifact spells from the castle's treasury. The spells in question had been acquired by the humans who 'stole' them from the giant empire ruins they deemed uninhabited. The deed hadn't been tainted with ill-intent but such an act was still deemed blasphemous by the giants who returned to the sites later - as all that even barely connected them to their days of long-gone glory was deemed sacred. From this moment onward both sides hadn't been unable to co-exist peacefully.

Appearances:

# Adventure Date Actions 1 Rokugan Civil War (preparations, part6) 01-19-2013 His existence was briefly mentioned by Sirvakar. 2 Rokugan Civil War (preparations, part7) 02-02-2013 Remained the only uncontrolled boneclaw of the Claws of Orcus operating within the Obscured Isle chain as Keritsidorv became captured by 'Morrigan's' undead-controlling magic. 3 Doomcape Exploration (Darnten Siege, part7) 03-16-2013 Confronted by the party in a duel of wills and later actual confrontation in order to sway the giants on the side of the Old Castle Darnten's defenders. Defeated in the end. Agreed to join Darntenians. 4 Doomcape Exploration (epilogue) 03-24-2013 Fought alongside the Darntenians with Darnten Siege. In the vision of the actual happenings from the Bloodstained Age, as seen by the party after the dreamscape collapsed, the Sirvakar and his brothers (Keritsidorv and Sirvakar) ended up being corrupted by one of the artifact spells they've been granted as the spoils of war. Later the trio perished, vanquished by another cabal of mages indulging themselves in the dark arts of necromancy only to end up being reanimated as boneclaws by the Claws of Orcus… few millenia later that is.
