Naruzi is a bronze-scaled dragonborn male with a broad, athletic build and a calm, open expression. His scales are warm copper-bronze, darker along the ridge of his brow and shoulders, with pale gold eyes and two short, swept-back horns. He keeps his jaw clean of decoration except for a thin cord of blue prayer beads tied beneath his left horn. His chain mail is carefully maintained, and his blue-and-white tabard bears the simple sunburst of his temple.

Naruzi is patient, courteous, and quietly observant. He treats promises as sacred and prefers to de-escalate conflict through listening, clear boundaries, and practical compassion. He has a dry sense of humor that appears unexpectedly, usually when tension is at its highest. Though gentle with the vulnerable, he becomes unwavering when someone uses power to prey upon them.

Naruzi was hatched in a riverside dragonborn community where the old temple served as both sanctuary and schoolhouse. His mother repaired fishing nets, while his father carried messages between villages. Naruzi was unusually patient for a young dragonborn, and the temple priests noticed that he listened before he spoke, even when frightened children or grieving travelers came to them for help. He became an acolyte, learning scripture, rites of burial, the care of the sick, and the discipline of keeping promises. During his years of service, he also trained with the temple guard, believing that a sacred place deserved more than prayers when danger came to its door. When raiders burned an outlying shrine, Naruzi helped evacuate the villagers and recovered the shrine's cracked bronze icon from the ashes. He came to understand that faith was not merely something preserved inside walls. It was a duty carried into the world, especially when the helpless had no one else to stand between them and violence. He took up the sword and shield as a paladin in service to justice, mercy, and the protection of those who trust his word. He now travels to find the raiders' leader, but he is equally determined to rebuild what was lost without allowing vengeance to become the center of his life.
