Mordakai Mafisto, older brother to Orianna Mafisto, is a retired Tiefling Centurion.

When asked about his origins, Mordakai Mafisto will happily volunteer that he was born in a small town near the city of Listrob in Bal-Morath. His family were, apparently, wool merchants and he had a decent, middle-class upbringing. His family, being unconnected to any of the noble houses stayed out of politics but Mordakai sought adventure in the lands of the Empire and enlisted with the Imperial Army.
At one time, Mordakai Mafisto, had the makings of a very promising career in the armed forces. His keen tactical mind and martial prowess made him stand out amongst his fellow recruits to the 46th Legion, based in Chundria and he quickly progressed to Decurian and then Centurian. Unfortunately his career was cut short when, in one particularly fierce battle with a squad of Gnolls, Mordakai suffered a blow to the left-half of his jaw. He survived this but he as badly disfigured and never fully recovered his voice. Hence he decided to take an early retirement and went to live with his younger sister in [{Wayfarer's Rest]]. Acting as her adviser and personal guard has returned much of Mordakai's confidence.
Appearance
Mordakai Mafisto is a handsome Tiefling male in his mid-30s and is always impeccably dressed in the finest clothes he can afford (and he can afford a lot). He is always seen wearing a scarf around the lower half of his face, made from wool imported from the family business, which muffles his voice significantly. Mordakai is always armed, even when this appears to be unlikely!
Affiliations
Mordakai, like his sister, is a prominent member of the cult of Zariel. His ambition to progress further in this cult is not a secret. Additionally he has numerous contacts in both Wayfarer's Rest and Broogen, many of whom are either fiercely loyal or positively terrified of him and his sister. Mordakai and Orianna employ many staff but own a single slave, a Goblin named Nurgle.
Acknowledgements
Mordakai Mafisto is a character from the adventures "The Heir of Orcus, Verse I" and "The Heir of Orcus, Verse II", by Anthony Joyce.
