Crafted during the final years of the Last War by artificers of House Cannith, Azm was commissioned by the Breland militia. For a year, Azm fought alongside Brelish troops and earned great distinction—at least, as great as any army would award to a warforged.

After the war, the warforged went to Sharn in search of his creator, the dwarf artificer Thondred. Thondred gave Azm his name, and the two put their skills to use as adventurers in the City of Towers. They eventually teamed up with another pair of adventurers and formed an adventuring company.

Thondred convinced the company that they could earn a fortune by exploring the secret continent of Xen’drik—a place where Thondred had spent a little time in the past and always hoped to return to in search of knowledge he could apply to his artificer experiments. Their exploits in Xen’drik have brought Azm and his fellow adventurers great wealth and more than a bit of notoriety.

Azm, now a 6th-level fighter, has learned that he can embed magic items in his body. He has also discovered ancient items in Xen’drik that seem designed to attach to his immense frame, a discovery that suggests that something like the modern warforged existed in Xen’drik in the ancient past. Learning more about these ancient constructs has become an obsession for the mighty warforged fighter.
