# Azrakel Bloodrune
_Human Blood Mage | [[Seven Drakes]] | [[Shilrua]]_
## Summary
A blood mage counted among the [[Seven Drakes]]. The party discovered the [[Seven Drakes]] were actually [[Cult of the Dragon]] agents who had deceived them since [[Nightstone]]. He teleported [[Mordraxis]] to [[Shilrua]].
%%
## Now
Embedded in the [[Seven Drakes]] cell hunting the party across the [[High Forest]], reporting to [[Acererak]] rather than the Cult.
## Appearance
A gaunt scholar with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes in deep purple robes hung with tiny crystal vials of blood; red tattoos like arcane circulatory systems pulse faintly on his pale hands as he casts.
## Personality
Dispassionate, scholarly, coldly analytical. He speaks in clinical, detached tones as if discussing academic specimens rather than living beings, and views living creatures as potential spell components.
## Quote
_"Blood is merely data, my friend. Each drop tells a story of power, lineage, and potential."_
## Connections
**[[Acererak]]** — true master; he secretly reports [[Cult of the Dragon]] activities to him.
**[[Mordraxis]]** — teleported him to [[Shilrua]].
## Background
**Double Agent:** He serves the [[Cult of the Dragon]] and the [[Seven Drakes]] openly, but his true loyalty lies with [[Acererak]] and the [[Tombkeepers]]. He carries dozens of blood vials from magical creatures and significant victims, using specific samples to boost spells or fuel rituals.
## Stats
**Base:** Mage (MM p.347), modified — blood magic enhancements.
## Secret
His true loyalty is to [[Acererak]] and the [[Tombkeepers]]; he spies on the [[Cult of the Dragon]] for them.
