Character Information
Known History
Current Activities:
Member of the Court of Autumn in the Freehold of the Last Night, acting as an advisor to any who would listen.
Background:
Nobody knows much about Azrious' background, least of all him. What is known is that he came to York in around 2006, but didn't immediately join the Freehold. Instead he spent the next year or so building himself a nest in the local Hedge, and watching the affairs of the locals. When they eventually decided to seek him out and bring him into the Freehold proper, they discovered that he already knew a lot about them. Needless to say, this was considered a little strange.
Before this? Who knows where the Seer of Worms has been. If asked about his time in Arcadia he speaks of a dark library, and a twisting maze as well as the cruelty of his Keeper, the Seer in Darkness. He has also mentioned in passing that before he was taken he was an academic, and that he was married with children. Beyond that? Who knows...

Quotes
- "The cards have told me about you..."
- "Pledges are binding. To break them causes a ripple in the Great Unseen which the Fair Folk can follow. It is a brief flash of light in a dark room. It draws them to you. By now they will be putting on their hunting clothes, harnessing their dogs and getting ready to ride out to sweep up you and all those who stand close to you."
- "I hope he's not right. And while his words sting, and twist like a knife in the side, I cannot blame him for his reaction. Pledges are binding." - Aria
Rumors
- His madness is a cover for something darker.
- He knows far more about the ruination of the Freehold of the Last Night than he lets on.
- Kings and Queens of Summer can make him cry just by saying a few words in his general direction.
- He carries a second pack of tarot cards, whose pictures are rendered in the dried blood of some unspeakable horror.
