Majani - Captain of the Zhentarum

"Hold, friend. You know the rules, no loitering outside The Palace. Please, keep it down and leave, the others won't be so forgiving...Sir?" Majani takes his job seriously, keeping the peace in Ankhet. He bemoans the lack of time and funds in order to do his job though, Trade Prince Mustaphi needs things wrapped up quickly so the Zhentarum can continue his illicit business. Therefore, Majani frequently hires capable types to conclude investigations. A good natured individual and a local boy, Majani has spent his entire life in Ankhet. He has watched it develop from a fledgling oasis-based community into the hub of activity it is today. With no local guard to speak of, and a strong sense of duty, Majani enlisted with the Zhentarum, the Trade Prince's personal guard. Believing that he would be free to police the streets and help shed light on criminal activities and bring them to justice, Majani was bitterly disappointed. Such respnsibilities are not for those of the Zhentarum, the safety of the Trade Prince is your only concern. Straddling the line between guarding Mustaph's property and safeguarding the streets of Ankhet, Majani exhausts himself trying to aid those who have nowhere to go. Recently, the corpses of young females had been found in the dark corners of Ankhet, missing their eyes,a s though they were burnt out by some supernatural force. In way over his head, and his duties to the Trade Prince pulling him away, he enlisted the help of Aratheo and Violet, who were on patrol that evening, looking for trouble... And it found them. A plot was uncovered where the devil Tace had made an illicit deal with Pearce, a previously terrible blacksmith. Tace used the anguish of Pearce's past to unleash an ever-rebirthing hellhound to collect the souls of those that share similarities with Pearce's sister. The attacks have stopped, Majani paid Aratheo and Vi in both gratitude and coin. He awaits the day they start again, a growing, gnawing sensation in his gut tells him that this isn't over and is like to get worse.
