'''Drazhar''' is the most infamous of the [[Incubi]]. His position in the Incubus sect is '''Executioner''' as he is the champion of his order.{{Fn|3a}}
==Origin==
Drazhar was first encountered at the gates of the Great Shrine of the [[Incubi]]{{Fn|3a}} in [[Commorragh]]. He walked straight into the shrine, cutting his way through any guards who tried to stop him. When he reached the inner sanctum, Drazhar challenged the enthroned Hierarch of the Shrine. The Hierarch stepped down from his throne into the duelling circle with Drazhar and took up a battle stance. The Hierarch's self-assured superiority soon evaporated when his challenger blurred into action. The duel took only a couple of minutes until it ended with Drazhar stepping over the Hierarch's dead body before making a small bow. He has since taken up the mantle of the Incubi's sacred executioner.{{Fn|3a}}
No one knows Drazhar's true identity. There are no records of him in any Incubus shrines and no one had heard of him before he walked in to the Great Shrine. Even the name Drazhar is ceremonial, meaning ''Living Sword''.{{Fn|3a}} It is rumored he may be the fallen former [[Phoenix Lord]] of the [[Striking Scorpions]], [[Arhra]], but the truth of the matter is unknown.{{Fn|76}}
==Recent History==
Drazhar has since fallen under the employ of [[Asdrubael Vect]], who has put a bounty on the head of [[Yvraine]], prophet of the [[Ynnari]]. During the [[Raid on Saim-Hann]], he nearly slew Yvraine but was denied his prize by [[Jain Zar]] who allowed the prophet to escape.{{Fn|3b}} After that [[Drazhar]] feigned retreat through the [[Webway Portal]] and managed to trap his pursuers - [[Jain Zar]] and her [[Howling Banshee]]s. Ambushing them in [[Shaa-Dom]] of the [[Aelindrach]] region, Drazhar personally cut Jain Zar in two and then gave her armour to the Mandrakes [[Mandrake]]s of [[Aelindrach ]] to ensure she never could be reborn again.{{Fn|4a}}
Sensing the death of a great [[Phoenix Lord]] and feeling guilt for it, [[Yvraine]] asked [[Ynnead]] to grant Zar another life. Upon learning that Jain Zar was resurrected, Drazhar set off to the lost [[Craftworld]] of [[Zandros]] to fight and kill her again. However, he did not foresee that Jain Zar was now imbued with Ynnead's energy of death. In an epic fight resembling the legendary fight on [[Zandros]] when [[Phoenix Lords]] [[Karandras]] and [[Arhra]] clashed in bloody battle, Drazhar was slain by Jain Zar.{{Fn|4a}}
After the battle, a [[Drukhari]] survivor ([[Klaivex]] [[Dara'kinia Thremense]]) found the armour and the mask of Drazhar and donned them, losing herself right after that. It may or may not mean that Drazhar is also one of the [[Phoenix Lords]] and hence was reborn.{{Fn|4b}}
