Xarth is descended from a long line of shog shamen's, born with the shog equivalent of a silver spoon in his mouth. He was expected to be a shamen and he expected this himself. However because of his arrogance he failed his initiation and was cursed by a shog diety with human form leaving shog lands, he travelled first to tauran, then west through human lands filled with people he does not understand very well.

When he reached the sea west of Dakar and couldn't go any farther, he wandered back to more populated lands. In Irill he was caught stealing food by a merchant, one who arranged for Xarth to go into the army in place of the Merchants son. Xarth did not enjoy his stint in the army, never really bonding with his mates, but he did learn to fight and to rely on his fellow soldiers. When he mustered out, he left irrill and continued to wander. He was in a tavern where things were starting to get ugly, when a stranger named Briz distracted the crowd. Xarth has been with Briz ever since, the first human he has really connected with, possibly the only one.

Xarth does not trust the Ifrit. He thinks they are arrogant and that being their champion will get him killed. But Xarth has had enough of running away from things. He is taking the aspect resolved champion of the Ifrit.

Here are three questions about Xarth that are for the GM to consider and drop on me like an Anvil at some point. 1. Is Xarth Human or is he a shog folded into a human form? 2. Why does Xarth retain the ability to work Transmutation magic when all the other magics he learned during his apprenticeship are lost to him. FYI, transmutations that take him closer to being a shog always fail. 3. Are the dragon aspects the shog worship done with Xarth, or do they have some long range plan they will drop on him at some point.
