<img src="http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/3403/zephram6fy.jpg"align="right">  Born into the Blake family, Zephram was the oldest of five brothers.  The Blakes are a well-known and well-off family in Tolkeen with a long tradition of business saavy and military accomplishment.  For generations, the Blakes have succeeded as politicians, successful entrepreneurs and military officers right up to the rank of general.  Currently, Zephram has begun his military career as a lieutenant and has recently finished serving two years in the intelligence division.  He is a highly intelligent tactitian with a deep drive to succeed.  His father is a Colonel serving elsewhere on the front lines.  Three of Zephram's brothers are also in the service, all lieutenants, while the youngest should be completing his training within the next year.

   Zephram grew up in a rather luxurious setting when compared to the majority of Tolkeenites.  And many believe that the members of his family never had to fight for anything.  But it has always been his father who pushed Zephram and his younger brothers to succeed with a very strict hand.  He completed training as an earth warlock a year before joining the service and has chosen to combine his military skills with his magic knowledge.

   Zephram has long black hair and a cleanly cropped black goatee.  Of all possible distinguishing features, he also has a wooden left arm and hand.  This is not an entirely unheard of phenomenon for a magic user who can sometimes suffer from strange mutations.  The fact that his arm has turned to wood is a mark of his chosen element but it does not impair his mobility at all.  The only detriment in fact is the increased risk of combustion...
