Girard Draketooth
""I've never trusted authority figures, be they kings, presidents, or party leaders. Give a man enough power, and he's bound to abuse it, no matter how noble he thinks he is.""

"Race: Human Gender: Male Class: Ranger/Wizard (illusionist) Alignment: Chaotic Good (probably)"

Ranger/illusionist of the party. Guards the gate in the middle of the desert on the Western Continent with powerful illusions, and lying about its location.


 * Badass Beard: Goatee variant.
 * The Clan: Due to sheer paranoia,.
 * Chaotic Cannot Comprehend Lawful: One of his problems with Soon.

 * Facial Markings: Has a purple dragon tattooed on the cheek.
 * Family Business: Outsiders, including spouses, need not apply.
 * Ineffectual Loner:.
 * The Lancer
 * Master of Illusion
 * Meaningful Name:
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Girard's hatred of Soon Kim and his paranoia that Kim would break his word to "check in" on the gates led Girard to give a completely random set of coordinates for his gate instead of the real ones. Unfortunately, since finding the gates has become a matter of life-and-death, this has made the good guys' job much, much harder, since they have to comb the largest desert in the world -- all the while dealing with the illusions, distractions and traps that Draketooth set up to obscure it, just making things easier -- to find it, a process that could take months or years. And to make matters worse, the only other person he told the true coordinates to was Serini, whose diary is in the possession of Xykon and his allies. So essentially, the bad guys have the coordinates for the gate and could easily reach it within seconds while the heroes were still looking. Nice going, Draketooth.
 * Not So Different: His complaints about Soon doing questionable deeds for the greater good notwithstanding, the Draketooth clan itself is quite willing to do the same. Such as by.
 * You Should Have Died Instead: He has a lot of bitter feelings against Soon about Kraagor's death.
 * You Should Have Died Instead: He has a lot of bitter feelings against Soon about Kraagor's death.
 * You Should Have Died Instead: He has a lot of bitter feelings against Soon about Kraagor's death.
