Kojax, played by Jacob, swordmaster of Talathees

History

Kojax was a swordmaster on a ship in the Navy of Talathees. The Navy's tactics involved grappling other ships and forcefully boarding them. Kojax led a group of Navy marines in taking enemy ships at the point of a sword. Kojax was happily married with two children, a boy (7) and a girl (5). They lived in a small farming village outlying the main city.

Background

During the siege of Talathees, catapults that usually faced sea-ward were taken by orcs/ogres and directed inward toward the city. Kojax led a group of marines on a suicidal raid to take back one of the catapults. His off-hand was amputated by an ogre in the battle but the small group was victorios. It was later that Kojax returned to his small village to find every home destroyed and the corpses of his fellow villagers strewn throughout the rubble.

Something snapped in Kojax then, and he has been On The Edge ever since.

Campaign Particulars

Kojax aided Brother Saul, Academis and Brad in the recovery of the ancient sarcophagi in the Osiris desert.

Kojax put together a group of marines in the post-razing of Talathees and named them the Wolves. This group was intended to be a special force that could scout/assassinate/raid a larger enemy like the forces of Branok.

Kojax put a crossbow bolt through the eye socket of Red the assassin after learning of General Veronus' death.

Kojax applied a coups-de-grace to Branok, with a riposte through the eye/brain after he had been skewered by Brad's lance and had his helmet removed by Academis.

Kojax fought and was bested by the Assassin demon Gortegag after going 15+ rounds a non-zero amount of damage. Kojax's thoracic cavity was opened up by the steel scythe from nipple to nipple. He now sports a large scar across his chest from this run-in. A wolf, Gregorious, was killed when charging the demon after Kojax fell.

Kojax laid siege to the HQ of the Black Ether along with Andrew, Academis, Fabian Maximillus and Hyberious (Wolf). Kojax learned the downside of charging mages when he was incapacitated with pain for 60 seconds. After the battle was over, Kojax cut out the eyes of one of the head acolytes and gave a small speech to the remaining acolytes warning them against action against the citizens of Talathese.
