Caranx is a heavily-built man with a shaven pate and neatly groomed and oiled beard. His face is craggy and generally set in a scowl, and this is enhanced by the numerous burn scars that patch his face and arms - the legacy of his training. Cranx is a firemage, and a member of the heretical Räite cult. As such, he is doubly hunted by the agents of the Nightguard of the Temple of the Great God. Caranx bases himself in Narganash, and although originally from the Deserts of Lamentation, has adopted the northerner's flamboyant mode of dress - Long tunic, embroidered sleeveless overcoat and shawl. He generally doesn't wear an undertunic, the better to show off his scars and muscular arms.
Caranx has fled the border regions of the Empire of New Saharn to avoid the attentions of its agents, and supports himself by adventuring with a group of like-minded characters. This suits him perfectly - he is not over-fond of regular work, and his adventuring forays give him frequent opportunities to clash with the Saharnian authorities.
Caranx has a rather abrasive personality - he is curt, and tends to shout if contradicted. He is also impulsive - in a tight situation, his normal approach is to shower whatever opposition he perceives with a barrage of fire spells, and follow it up with a wild charge waving his two-handed sword. So far this approach has met with success, which only encourages him. Not surprisingly, he has few close friends.
