Ignatious Femok

Ignatious Femok is a Dragonborn political candidate in Markham, hailing from the distant continent of Bythria.

He is the party's primary benefactor, tasking them with tracking down his would-be assassins and funding the parties expedition to Last Mount.

Appearance
A rarely rotund dragonborn, Ignatious' jumpstart into riches shows in his attire and figure. Constantly masked in a layer of perfume to mask his sulfuric scent, Ignatious enjoys dressing in lairs to bulk up his already sizable body. His favorite is an ornate maroon coat with a fluffy brown collar to contrast his hard golden scales.

His thick jowls are covered in hanging scales that resemble facial hair, with two long whiskers extending from each cheek.

Personality
Boisterous and opportunistic, Ignatious is a beacon of charisma, well-trained by his vast experience in the political arena. He often speaks in platitudes and tries to get to the heart of an issue well before it is presented.

Desperate to exude an aura of control, Ignatious always tries to maneuver himself into a positive position with whoever he meets. He often becomes flustered or upset if things don't go as planned, having exceptional difficulty with the attempt on his life and hiding from the spotlight he usually basks in out of fear of his life.

Background
The now regal dragonborn was born in the inhospitable deserts of Bythria as the youngest son of a clan-chief of Gold Dragonborn under the rule of a powerful Dragon Lord Dashre'zk. Under the powerful dragon's leadership, his clan raided and pillaged to add to the horde. Dashre'zk was an unfair leader, and gave a small cut of the riches to his subjects, leading to a decline in the clan's morale.

Ignatious' father, concerned for his clan, stood up to his lord and was immediately incinerated for his treachery. Ignatious fled to the Craetorean Empire, where he gathered an army for a year, telling of his former Lord's riches and promising any man who joins him a split of the wealth. Together, his piecemeal army slayed the powerful creature and Ignatious made true on his promise, unlike the now dead dragon lord.

He continued to work Craetorean politics before setting his sights on Markham. With his expanded wealth and political influence, he and Ness set sail for Gaenrun

Trivia

 * Ignatious was the first NPC to establish the setting of Gaenrun. Tyler rolled for random characters on his Pinterest boards and challenged himself to create a campaign setting based on the results. Ignatious was among these randomly generated characters and the story of the setting that would become Gaenrun revolved around his character.
 * The assassination attempt on Ignatious was the initial catalyst for the campaign setting, with the details being expanded upon throughout Gaenrun's world-building.
