BLESSING ◎ Blood Oath

Promises or loyalty that can't be broken; blood contracts; a favorable deal

AFFLICTION ◎ Double Cross

Loopholes; deceitful contracts or false promises; betrayal from the least expected

History & Abilities

It wasn't long after Kaz was dragged from an odd pool into his life in Cadens that the boy from Ketterdam came to shed who he had been. At least not long in terms of the centuries lived there in this new world. What he'd first seen as a kidnapping had become freedom after losing his reputation in a single moment. Then he had shed a title which led to open doors to a heart that had been shuttered even from those he loved.

Love had changed Kaz Brekker though, slowly, bit by bit, until what remained was not the pain and loss that had shaped a child, but the heart of a guardian whose protection for a scant murder of crows had become so much more.

Once tied to a city that was little more than vice and danger, Kaz roams now with a joy in others he doesn't remember loathing in his life before. Now it's about finding what he wants in life and what he wants to share. Time spent traversing as a bit of a trickster god with magical "tricks" and games that tease and sometimes even titillate. Answering please to the gods, often about the pledges of love, the fears of a business partner's theft, and of the pain of one breaking their word to another. Playing in Ikorr, often with his partners and husband. And venturing into places where others might not, especially if one makes a plea for help in all sorts of bargains and deals where loyalty is forged, and sometimes forgotten. One he answers with benevolence, but the boy who had taken over a gang and made a small army of a handful of deadly and brilliant people still lingers in the swing of his cane and the abilities he may use against a betrayer, or bestow onto a supplicant to use on another as they see fit.

  • Binding Words: An ability that began with vicious mockery that allows him to instill emotions and alter a person's thinking with an oath of his own. If it's in align with what they want, it's forever binding. If not, such as a punishment on one that has broken their word, it can linger until they come clean about the betrayal.
  • Corporalki: The earliest gifts Kaz was given in Abraxas was heartrending. He worked hard to develop it to its fullest until he forgot it hadn't always been his, and has expanded over the years. He can harm or heal, as well as tailor. At this point it is at the level of a Grisha on jurda parem.
  • Flight: With a thought, and a tap of the cane he carries (More for drama because when is it not drama for Kaz), he sports a large pair of black crow wings. They allow him flight as they would the bird he still carries as his cane that he no longer physically needs and holds close as a totem.
  • Elemental Control: Kaz has minor control over fire and water, using sparks or drops of the original to manifest more or direct them as he needs from puddles to lakes and seas. He can also direct and draw up wind, especially in aiding in his flight.
Personality & Image

Not even Kaz remembers the dark and dour young man he once was. Not that he is any less of a shadow, favoring the black of the wings he sometimes sports, but that is all that remains. No gloves to cover his hands, the materials and outfits he wears ranging from tailored suits to gauzy, dark garments that barely hide as much as they show. All he wears is designed by his husband, Jesper.

Unless one has betrayed another or broken their word freely given, the man they know as Kaz is bright smiles more often than not, known to stop and offer entertainment for children or distractions for those that seem down or upset. A gift for sleight of hand had become a mystical game of illusions and magical play he sometimes uses to create impromptu performances. Especially for the younger inhabitants of a city. Children often get his attention, no matter how busy he might be, doing small acts to better their lives when he can.

That isn't to say that when crossed he remains playful and teasing. When the smile fades and the darkness overtakes his eyes, most are smart to get out of his way, or to make good on their broken word before he sees to it that they have no choice.
