-Biography: Zhaitan was orphaned at a young age, when his village was overtaken by Dwarven legions in the eastern wastes. Though young, he had learned enough of his people's nomadic ways to survive for the better part of a week, however death was closing in. He became feverish, and drifted between the planes of life and death for many days. His spirit was strong, and this extended forray through the Umbra left his soul touched by the other side.

Soon after, a wild desert Shaman discovered his spirit wandering aimlessly in and out of the void, frightend and fighting for his etheral survival. Tracking the young one into the material world, he took him as his pupil in the ways of the his mystic ancestors. Many years passed, and now only he remains. With his mentor gone, he has undertaken a journey to the heart of his homeland, and lend his spiritual power to the strength of his people.

-Your ambitions: Zhaitan seeks to use his unique connection with the spirits of the land and elements to lend strength to his people.

He knows that only by advising the Rex in these precarious matters will he achieve this.

Very nice.

As a warning, magic hasn't been implemented yet, so you'll just have to role-play that, until it does. :D
