Zeburon, "the Iron Rider"

ZEBURON NEVER SPEAKS TO HIS VICTIMS. He presents himself as a grim elemental force. Zeburon became leader of the Black Iron Raiders in much the same way as all of its members joined the tribe: he survived the tests of the caverns beneath the Black Arena ruins. While he is the leader of the tribe, which he rules through the strength of his iron-gloved fists, he follows the advice of the defiler, Fevil. The ex-gladiator approaches all situations from the perspective of the arena. Everything is a game, but a deadly game. The winner of the game lives to fight again, while the loser simply dies. He sees all opponents in these terms, believing that if he does not kill them first, they will surely kill him. He rules the raiders in the same way. If any of his followers question his orders, he swiftly kills them and asks if anyone else cares to disagree. Zeburon does not talk about his encounters beneath the ruins, but he proudly wears the trophies he won in the depths. The iron helm covers his entire head. His eyes sparkle malevolently from within the shadows of the thin, menacing slit that cuts across the helm's front. Strange designs etched into its sides mark it as something from another age. The designs may be magical in nature, but so far there have been no special powers attributed to the helm or its matching gloves. The gloves are iron gauntlets that fit snugly over Zeburon's hands. He wears no other armor or clothing, save a breechcloth, sandals, and a short black cloak. He wields a sword of sharpened bone. The ex-gladiator is quite mad, but that does not hamper his ability to lead. Of course, he leads his tribe down his own dark paths of madness. He craves battle and has a fierce blood lust that must constantly be sated. He hates all those who are not slaves, for they turned him into what he has become. He hates all slaves, for that was what he learned in the arena. Consequently, Zeburon hates everyone and everything, though this hatred did not serve as sufficient armor when Zethus ripped his heart out.    The Sandborn discovered that the Horns attached to Zeburon's helmet were in fact his own, and that the helmet served to hide that the Warlord was a tiefling.
