Character's Personal History:
Oriax hails from the port city of Asshai on the Jade Sea. From an early age he was enthralled by the spellsingers, pyromancers, shadowbinders, aeromancers, and warlocks allowed to practice their arts openly. He apprenticed under whichever masters would take him on and showed aptitude in his mystic studies. His hunger for knowledge and power only grew with time, causing the young man to eagerly train in new forms of magic when he had mastered one.
When he could learn no more in the confines of the city, Oriax ventured out into the Shadowlands for darker pursuits of true power. No act was too profane for those passing through the shadow. Greater power always justified the dark rituals performed.
Feeling that he could learn no more, Oriax traveled West, visiting the Doom of Valyria and the Free Cities. Some time was spent with the warlocks of Qarth, both learning and at times teaching. He sold what services he could to desperate men and women, not charging just gold but also sacrifice to make their desires manifest.
Eventually he found himself in Westeros, where he had a near monopoly on his trade. He sells his services to lords and commoners alike, though rarely at costs their souls can bare. Magic always has its price.
Character's Physical Description:
Oriax stands tall and grim like most of his kind, clad in white robes with a silver mask obscuring his face as the priests of Asshai wear. What lies beneath that mask is unknown by any alive.
Character's Reputation:
Oriax of the Shadow as a dark reputation as a powerful warlock of numerous schools of magic. Enigmatic, though not hard to find by those who know where to look. He is known to sell his services to any man or woman for bizarre prices of both gold and sacrifice. Though the boons he can offer are great, the costs are more than most can bear. His age is unknown, though sinister rumors suggest he may be over a century old, kept youthful through dark rituals and blood rites.
