[QUOTE="JoeBlank, post: 1371389, member: 1806"] Sargazzo Irshad does not recall the early part of his life, before he was sold as a slave to House Irshad in Calimsport, so he does not recall how or when his tongue was cut out, or if he was ever able to speak. Not knowing that he was raised by the Circle of Shadows, the orphan half-orc was likewise unaware that his skill in combat and as a bodyguard came from intense training provided by the guild. He excelled as a guard on the Irshad estate, and eventually became the personal bodyguard of Quell Irshad, the head of the house of powerful spice merchants. Sargazzo's inability to speak was considered an asset, making him a guard that could be trusted not to reveal family secrets. About two years ago, the Circle found the need to eliminate Quell, and bring down the Irshad family. The bard Omar bin Woken gained the confidence of Quell and arranged a meeting, alledgedly to discuss expanding the family's control of the spice trade throughout the region. At the meeting, Omar used his music and his knowledge of a secret sign language to manipulate Sargazzo, who had been planted by the guild for later use. The half-orc did not even recall that he knew the signs, taught to him long ago by the Circle. With prodding from Omar, he willing dealt the blow that finished Quell, and eliminated his fellow bodyguards as well. With the fall of House Irshad, Sargazzo was free for the first time in his life. He removed Quell's signet ring, managing to fit it on his small finger, and wears it to signify that he now owns himself. Omar reintroduced Sargazzo to life with the Circle, and the two have become a formidable team. The circle often assigns them to play the role of a diplomat and his bodyguard. While Sargazzo understands several languages, he can only communicate using sign language, supplemented by gutteral grunts and the creative us of a signal whistle and a war horn. [/QUOTE]
