Kharn the Immortal - the most feared and renowned outlaw and Blackguard of the Three Towns region. Those who have not encountered him are probably best to count themselves lucky. Those who have encountered him and lived to tell the tale are even luckier. Famed for his merciless killing sprees and constant attacks on those of a more lawful demeanor, he was ever a figure to admire and fear. Those who saw him would usually flee unless they were ignorant or stupid. Those who did not flee had to choose their actions very carefully lest he chop them down. As an outlaw he would often be involved in attacks on Fer. He was one of the few outlaws the Guardians were truly wary of - often times he would best even their most powerful members. It is believed that he bullied one of the mages of Exile to craft him this shield, then killed them when their best attempts were not remotely powerful enough to do his own powers justice. Regardless, the shield somehow found its way into the hands of those willing to use it, and before too long other mages dared to make copies. There was nothing wrong with the shield itself - in fact it proved a powerful offensive boon, nevertheless it is doubtful you would ever see Kharn using one now.
