Acerbitox

Acerbitox was a PC in the Scales of Justice campaign.

Gruff and somewhat irritable, Acerbitox is the ramshackle group's acid-centric sorcerer. He willingly stands at the front of the party, too loyal to let his friends get injured, and too stubborn to back down from a fight.

Background
Some two hundred years ago, a black dragonborn known as Harthod was visited by a great Shaitan. The genie was impressed by Harthod's devotion to the Plane of Earth in his craft, and granted him a wish. Harthod was but a silversmith, but he used his wish to infuse his form with the Power of Earth, allowing him to be a vigilant protector of his family and community. His children, and his childrens' children, were all able to recount the tales of Harthod's bravery, from driving off an orcish warband, to defending the community's only mithral vein from a powerful aberration. Unfortunately, heroism is not passed through a family as easily as boastful stories.

Abandoning the stagnant agrarian lifestyle that has contented the rest of his family for generations, Acerbitox decided to make the most of the gifts that the Shaitan bestowed upon his ancestor. He makes his home in the swamps near Murkheath, happy to live on his own out of the way of the city, but close enough that he can venture in for supplies. He is individualistic and stubborn to a fault, but finds trust in those who impress him with acts of courage and bravery.
