Prax, a seasoned hobgoblin mercenary, commands respect and fear in equal measure. At forty-two years old, his body is a testament to his brutal profession, adorned with intricate tattoos that tell tales of battles won and foes vanquished. His skin, a deep green, stretches tightly over a muscular frame sculpted by years of combat and survival. His eyes, a piercing yellow, gleam with the cunning of a strategist and the ruthlessness of a killer. Prax's hair, a coarse mane of black, is often tied back to keep it from his face during the chaos of battle. He dresses in a mix of leather and chainmail, practical yet adorned with symbols of his mercenary company, the Iron Fang, where he holds a high rank.

Prax's voice carries a gravelly tone, a result of shouting commands over the din of battle, and his speech is punctuated by a sharp, clipped accent unique to the borderlands he hails from. His demeanor is one of cold efficiency; he views the world through the lens of profit and power, willing to undertake almost any job for the right price. This mercenary ethos stems from a childhood spent in poverty and war, where he learned early that survival depended on strength and cunning.

Despite his success, Prax is haunted by a relentless ambition to control his own destiny, free from the whims of those who hire him. He dreams of founding a mercenary empire, where he dictates the terms. Yet, his current position within the Iron Fang, while prestigious, binds him to the will of its enigmatic leader, a figure as cunning and ruthless as Prax himself. To break free, Prax engages in a dangerous game of subterfuge and power plays within the company, aligning himself with factions that could overthrow the current leadership.

His plan is fraught with risk but driven by his intelligence and deep understanding of the mercenary world. Prax manipulates alliances and sows discord, all while maintaining his facade of loyalty. The conflicts in his life are manifold: internal struggles with his own morality, external battles against rivals within the Iron Fang, and the constant threat of betrayal from those he trusts. As he navigates this treacherous path, Prax remains a figure of dark ambition, a villain whose genius lies in his ability to turn any situation to his advantage, even as he edges closer to the precipice of his own downfall.
