Zyrik Balakov

Zyrik Balakov, also called Seacleaver after his weapon, is a Valkavian assassin. He kills with Rog ot Jokosz, and the green blood of his victims has become his calling card. His targets are people who abuse their power over others.

History
Zyrik was trained in combat from an early age by his father, who was the champion of Czervapol. When Zyrik's father became too old, the elders chose a man named Zhilgor to be their new champion. Zhilgor became the bearer of Rog ot Jokosz, and committed unspeakable evils with it to women, children, and large animals. Zyrik was infuriated at Zhilgor's abuse of power, so he went to the elders, but they turned a blind eye. Using the skills his father had taught him, Zyrik stole Rog ot Jokosz from Zhilgor and slaughtered him, as well as the elders who had refused to remove him from power.

After the massacre, Zyrik took an oath to kill all men who abused power. He performed a ritual bonding Rog ot Jokosz to himself, dismissed it into another realm, and sold himself into slavery. He has been hidden in plain sight as a slave ever since, murdering slaveowners all over Whirn who abuse their power. Their bodies are found slashed and lying in a pool of green blood.
