Zesh Yeji-Kemill

Marriage amongst the Gnolls is a mix of desire and duty;females are allowed to choose their mates, but can marry only if the match is approved by her clan matriarch. Zesh was a rejected match; though they loved each other, the female’s matriarch was having none of it. Dejected, Zesh followed in the footsteps of no few unmarried males and wandered south into human lands, seeking, if nothing else, a way to forget. It was hunger and boredom which eventually led him to the mercenary’s life and then to the Red Hounds. Wielding an axe in each hand in the old Gnoll style, Zesh relies on the fierce discipline of his people to achieve victory in battle.

An 18-year-old fighter, Zesh is still a bit "wet behind the ears" and is a bit star-struck when it comes to Miralbhen.
