He was probably the most levelheaded member of the Stormblades – perhaps because of his faith in Kord. He finally embraced the teachings of his deity after being stuck on Occipitus. That experience changed his outlook on life. He saw evil up close and personal and it made him resolute to return to Cauldron City and “truly” join the ranks of the Warriors of Kord.Zachary had noticed a change in Todd Vanderboren, but he had never guessed that his “friend” had become a wererat. Zachary had always known that Todd has a wicked soul, but he had always hoped he could  have change him. Therefore, he'd been horrified by Todd’s wererat form when the former Stormblade revealed it in order to kill Cora Lathenmire. Since Todd's betrayal of the Stormblades on Occipitus, Zachary has made it his personal mission to hunt down the new demon lord.After his return from the Abyss, Zachary became one of the favored members of the Temple of Lordly Might, which was mainly due to his association with the Order of the Silver Hand. He advanced through the ranks quickly and was set to become the third highest-ranking member of the church (behind Omar Tiskinsen) when the forces of Anoria and Flamerule invaded the Dominion of Cauldron. Unfortunately, Zachary was one of the first Cauldronites to be dominated by the duergar known as “Grey Shadow.”The gray dwarf had gotten lucky, as one of his arcanist minions had managed to successfully cast bestow curse on Zachary just before Grey Shadow manifested psionic dominate. Zachary managed to break free from the duergar’s control several times, but the evil wilder and his allies always managed to keep control over the Priest of Kord due to the bestow curse spell as well as the slave ring that Grey Shadow had forced Zachary to wear.Grey Shadow had forced Zachary to lead his own father to the gallows where the gray dwarf's executioner killed the nobleman. The young priest of Kord nearly lost hope after that. He would have remained Grey Shadow's thrall if the Order hadn't returned to Cauldron City and freed its people from the machinations of the devil worshipers of Flamerule. Still, it took Zachary almost a year to forgive himself for his father's death and for being forced to betray his own temple.He had been content to retire from public life and try to bury his past but Lord Mayor Hezekiah Grofus insisted that he lead the reconstructed Temple of Lordly Might. Zachary lead the Kordites into battle alongside the Order of the Silver Hand and the Disciples of the Bloodsun against the armies of Flamerule. The young priest found redemption for his soul during that war.Zachary, as the High Priest of Kord in Cauldron, keeps a close association with his sister, Jendy Aslaxin, who became the new Mistress of the Temple of the Cat after Mistress Jenya died in the war. He also considers the members of the Order to be his closest friends even though the feeling isn't always mutual. They often see him and Annah Bredleder as ex-Stormblades first and Cauldronites second.hp 92 (16d8+16)_________________________________________________Male human aristocrat 4 / ranger 4 / cleric 8 (Kord)CG medium humanoid (human)Init +3; Senses Listen +5, Smell +5, Spot +5, Taste +5Auras Chaos and goodLanguage Common_________________________________________________AC 22 (+3 Dex, +7 armor, +2 deflection), touch 15, flat-footed 19Resist Fire 10; SR 21Fort +12, Ref +10, Will +16_________________________________________________Speed 30 feet (6 squares)Melee +2 bastard sword +19 (1d10+6/19-20/x2) orMelee +2 bastard sword +17/+12 (1d10+6/19-20/x2) and mwk. kukri +15 (1d4+1/18-20/x2) orRanged Heavy crossbow w/mwk. silvered bolts +13 (1d10-1/19-20/x2)Space 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.Base Atk +13; Grp +17Atk Options Two-weapon fighting, favored enemy vs. reptilian creatures (+2)Special Actions Turn undead 4/dayCombat Gear Potion of cure critical wounds (x2), potion of cat's grace, potion of bear's endurance, potion of bull's strengthCleric Spells Prepared (CL 8th; save DC = 15 + spell level)4th (3/day) — control water, freedom of movement *, sound lance [sup]1[/sup] 3rd (5/day) — bestow curse, invisibility purge, flame of faith [sup]1[/sup], magic vestment, protection from energy * 2nd (5/day) — aid *, align weapon, hand of divinity [sup]1[/sup], hold person, spiritual weapon 1st (6/day) — bless, command, detect evil, entropic shield *, shield of faith, vision of glory [sup]1[/sup] 0th (6/day) — create water, guidance, light, mending, purify food and drink, read magic * Domain spell.
