Appearance

In order to keep fresh and out of a scheduled norm, Azariah will wear anything from old, ragged clothes to a suave tuxedo. Whenever taking on a job, Azariah will wear thick, padded leather armor. Where ever Azariah goes, he will dress the part of a native in order to keep attention from himself.

Other: Azariah has numerous scars, including a reminder of a deadly arrow wound inflicted during the period of his priesthood. His chest and back seems to be inflicted with perpetual bruises; mostly from his periodic bar fights. They almost always appear faded - as if they've been there for period of time. The right side of his face has a section of skin which always peels, revealing a dark pink layer beneath.

Personality

Azariah is a generally paranoid person. He hides his real identity; trading his numerous (and mostly varying) nicknames to everyone and anyone he meets. On every occasion, Azariah strides to keep himself camouflaged amongst the native populous of any given location through looking, acting, and speaking the part.

He has many clashing personality traits – he is an obsessive perfectionist, yet at the same time, he has a knack for laziness. Many times he will neglect to complete an instruction and instead conclude the task the way he wants to; often changing his methods just for fun.

Azariah hates most alcoholic beverages, but if the social norm calls for drinking in order to stay camouflaged amongst the populous, he will drink a flavored spirit or will shoot down shots. Although he dislikes alcohol, he has an addictive personality. If there is something he finds pleasurable, he will use/do it in excess; while, if there is something he does not like, he will have nothing to do with it. Azariah often harvests and dries fadeleaf to smoke when he's off the job.

He regularly feels the sting of remorse from events in his past; sometimes (but not often) regretting killing the people he has killed and hurting those he has hurt to get an end to his means. Most of the time, however, Azariah is particularly apathetic; taking on any job so long as his employer has the coin to cover his expenses.

Azariah has a soft spot for women – particularly brunettes and red heads, and/or priests because of their vows of innocence. When Azariah might otherwise be cold and distant, women have been known to bring out a warmer side of him.

History

Azariah's blood origins are unknown. The Stormwind orphanage suspected that he was born to a prostitute in the year of the Invasion of Draenor, but Azariah and the orphanage never knew for sure. When the infant was found on the doorstep of the orphanage, he was covered in dirt and many parts of his skin were scuffed. The orphanage workers named him "Azariah Orelle". Azariah grew, as did the signs of an emotional trauma.

Many of his fellow children mocked him and poked fun at him; commonly laughing at a section of skin on the side of his face that peeled on a constant basis. He didn't seem to react in any noticeable manner until he was about 9 when a boy insulted his mother - calling her a whore. Azariah snapped; beating the boy until he bled profusely. Jack Lesteria, a member of the Church of the Holy Light, witnessed this event and decided that the church would've been able to help Azariah.

Jack adopted Azariah and gave him the last name of "Amaranth". Azariah struggled with the first few months of the priesthood; often upsetting a priest or offending a paladin with his chaotic behavior. Soon, however, it seemed as if Azariah was on his way to becoming a respectable citizen and priest.

One day during his presumed 18th year, Azariah and Jack were traveling on a pilgrimage to Lordaeron. As they approached the center of Silverpine Forest, they were ambushed by an animated corpse with a bow and arrows. Jack was almost immediately shot through the heart, and as Azariah was fleeing back towards the south, he was struck in the side; the arrow miraculously missed all vital organs.

Azariah managed to stumble his way into Pyrewood Village before collapsing, where several inhabitants were beginning to leave Silverpine after news from the north. Several citizens who were staying behind helped Azariah; removing the arrow and stitching him up before putting him in the back of a carriage that was headed towards the Hillsbrad Foothills.

When Azariah finally regained consciousness, the carriage was stocking up on supplies in Southshore. Confused and dazed, he sat in the back of the carriage until the owner returned - a man by the name of David Linnet. After a brief introduction and some small talk, David, an accomplished swordsman and hunter, offered Azariah an apprenticeship.

Azariah accepted, and once he was hearty and healthy once again, he began to learn and work with Mr. Linnet. Living alongside David, Azariah adopted David as the father figure he never had; acknowledging and absorbing shreds of his worldview, habits, and quirks. After six years, David retired, and now resides somewhere in Elywyn Forest.

After a couple of years living off the land, Azariah got into the trade of mercenary work; taking on whatever task came his way.
