![[IojadPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Iojad _Black Dragonborn Paladin | [[Scaled Legion]] | [[Thundertree]]_ ## Summary A fanatical paladin of [[Tiamat]] who served as field commander for the [[Scaled Legion]] at [[Thundertree]]. Years earlier he brutally beat and banished [[Gex]] from the Gnawbones tribe. During the [[Battle of Thundertree]] he unleashed his breath weapon on demon grinder riders before [[Petra]]'s sharpshooting killed him. %% ## Now _Deceased — killed by [[Petra]] at the [[Battle of Thundertree]]._ > [!warning] Someone else is using this name > At [[Bryn Shander]] (S84), a black dragonborn commander introduced himself to [[Lynne]] as **Iojad** and brought the [[Verdant Fang]] into the allied line. That is **[[Belaxarim]]** — not this man, and not disguised as him. He took a dead subordinate's name as a message to the heroes who killed him. If a link to `[[Iojad]]` shows up in Bryn Shander-era material, it is pointing at the alias, not the corpse. > > *Players caught it. Characters have not.* ## Connections **[[Gex]]** — beat and banished him from the Gnawbones tribe years earlier. **[[Petra]]** — killed him at [[Thundertree]]. **[[Belaxarim]]** — his commander, now wearing his name at [[Bryn Shander]]. ## Background **The Banishment:** Brutally beat and banished [[Gex]] from the Gnawbones tribe after the kobold [[Skrit]] attacked him. **Thundertree:** Commanded the [[Scaled Legion]] in the field, unleashing his breath weapon on demon grinder riders before [[Petra]]'s sharpshooting killed him. %%
