'''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}}
===HistoryBiography=======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}} He moves from Shrine to Shrine, leading Incubi to seek the greatest champions of foes and defeat them in single combat.{{Fn|8}}
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|6}} Drazhar has never spoken in the presence of any patron or foe, so it is impossible to gleam glean the truth from him.{{Fn|8}}
====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]], Drazhar personally cut Jain Zar in two and then gave her armour to the [[Mandrake]]s of [[Aelindrach]] to ensure she never could be reborn again.{{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}}
====Reputation====
After Drazhar had invaded the Great Shrine of the [[Incubi]]{{Fn|3a}} and killed its Hierarch, gossip and rumors started to spread. Some say Drazhar is the [[Phoenix Lord|Fallen Phoenix]], [[Arhra]], even crediting Arhra with Drazhar's deeds{{Fn|}}, and that Drazhar's armour is filled with nothing but bone-dust.{{Fn|3b}} It is said that there is no challenger equal to Drazhar. All who challenged him have fallen under his blades. Yet Drazhar has shown no inclination to take up the position of Hierarch or even Klaivex. He is the Executioner, and exists only to kill; nothing more, nothing less.{{Cite this}}
