Azrok

Azrok was a hobgoblin warlord in Undermountain in the early 1490s DR.

History
Azrok born blind in a hobgoblin clan in Underdomountain. His disability would doom him but Azrok's mother, a powerful sorcerer, crafted for him a dagger of blindsight that permitted him to saw as a normal hobgoblin. In time Azrok became the leader of his clan and with great wisdom settled his people inside the Sargauth Level where they prospered killing the local grimlock and troglodytes. Azrok even sired an heir and his people renamed themselves Legion of Azrok.

In 1492 DR, however some duergar thieves of Clan Ironeye thieved Azrok's magical dagger. Using this advantage the drow of House Auvryndar managed to settle in the level without attack from Azrok.

His wife and lieutenant Lurkana tried to cover Azrok's weakness but her efforts were ruined by a mind flayer ambassador of Skullport that used some infiltrated intellect devourers to spread the truth about Azrok's condition.

So many of his bugbear and goblin minions abandoned Azrok and went to Skullport to join Xanathar's Thieves' Guild
