Resources and Property
Haven: Temple Camp (location alters, always hidden)

Wards and Security: Temple Barrier: disrupts arcane, elemental, planar, time, haste, invocation, summoning and protects against mental attacks within camp perimeters.
Wealth: He can afford what he needs, then some.
Items of Note: Gate Ring: A handsome white diamithril signet ring with the DeCasey clan crest. In function the ring gates the ring bearer back to a set location when activated, will also relocate bearer to any known, chosen location via a shadow phase. Its main function allows Byron to gate the ring bearer to his present location or a location chosen BY him on his command. Ring, once worn, can only be removed by Byron and actually protects the bones of the bearer from dismemberment while worn.
Hellfire: Azturel sourced and stockpiled over 2lbs of Hellfire, a particularly insidious poison which the only known cure for is water from the river of souls.
Menagerie Crystal: A rather large amethyst crystal of deep color attached by exquisitely wrapped wire of white diamthrill to a chain of the same valuable metal. The chain and wire alike were virtually unbreakable as was the crystal. It was clearly enchanted against damage. What lie INSIDE the crystal was what made it interesting and dangerous really. It contained an Arch-Devil of Standards, sephiroth variety, of the pit, female in persuasion and sinfully sexy. In her name there was power, for whoever 'owned' the crystal and spoke her name controlled her.
Morning Star Coinpurse: A handsome pouch of black leather, embroidered with a dragon in gold and silver thread, every scale stitched on in perfect symetry. It contains regenerating supply of heavy gold coin with the taste of sulfer, that if given to anyone who agree's to serve the Morning Star who then spends that coin seals the pact remotely. When the coin is spent 'they' become the Morning Stars in body, mind, heart, and soul for all eternity and shall bear his mark so long as Acheron remains.Spending the coin is considered the pen of free will.
Staff of Erisetki: A beautiful staff of unusual make. Its was crafted of compound materials, a hard umber wood, with a black diamthrill crown shaped like an elephant's head, with an elaborately runed, 16 inch long grip made of platinum beneath the crown's shank. Runes were also carved the entire length of the wooden end of the staff. It was the staff of Erisetki, or more commonly, a staff of chaos. Unpredictability was the staff's key mojo, and it turned one thing into another for a short time, or a long time, or even permanently until a fix was found... if someone was able to master the staff. It would turn any beast into another beast, any plant into another plant, any mineral into another mineral, etc., so long as the target to outcome was related on a basic elemental level. One could not turn, say... a person into a campfire, but they could turn a tree into a campfire, but never intentionally! They migbt turn a man into a chicken, or a brick of clay into a gold ingot. The gist was, one never knew WHAT something they aimed the thing at other than something animal to animal, vegetable to vegetable, mineral to mineral. Basic elements could also be turned into other basic elements... such as fire to water, wood to stone, sand to salt, etc. The main problem with the staff was you might hit someone with its aura of dark blue power and turn them into a raging dragon who wants to eats you. It did always take them by surprise though, so you had a moment before they came after you, if they did.
Morning Star Flask: A beautiful flask of black diamithrill with a dragon head engraved into one side and a pentagram on the other, screw on cap attached by chain of same black metal, with the regenerating 'on tap' Ichor of the Morning Star within.

Character History

I, Azturel, Vampire, true-born, deceiver, killer, monster... Azturels history is complicated, violent, and filled of treachery. Despite what he has been led to believe, the things he has done accordingly, he is finding that the truth is not as black and white as some would have him believe where his purpose lies. A elatively simple purpose which has become infinitely complicated, he is less the soldier in the service of what he began - what he belonged to.
