Xzar was an insane necromancer and a member of the Zhentarim who traveled the Sword Coast during the mid–14 century DR.

""I'm never quite so comfortable as when I'm at least six feet under.""

- Xzar

Personality
Xzar was both intelligent and insane at the same time. He was quite unbalanced and would randomly spout gibberish at unpredictable moments; at one moment he could act like a frightened child while the next he may remark that he ate another person's liver paired with beans and a nice wine.

His treatment of others was usually coldly disdainful or derisive.

Relationships
The Zhentarim partnered Xzar with the halfling Montaron, a pairing that was made against both their wishes. Xzar found 'Monty' to be quite insufferable, while he in turn thought Xzar completely mad. After some time however, it appeared as if the two had developed an genuine friendship.

History
In the, Xzar and Montaron were tasked by the Zhentarim to investigate the iron crisis that plagued the Sword Coast. They traveled south along the Coast Way to the Amnian town of Nashkel.

By the, Xzar and Montaron had traveled to Athkatla to spy on the local group of Harpers. Montaron was captured at some point and to Xzar's knowledge was taken to the local Harper Hold. While Xzar sought a means to rescue his friend, Montaron had in fact already been killed.
