Agzor /'yɑgzɑːr/ was a superhero warrior and one of the Five Kings of the north. He is known for the destruction of Chusoh, which marked the downfall of Toor. Among the Utuka he was known as Kolar Mran, which translates to Capricious Fox, due to his clothing that featured red and orange colors.
Early life
Agzor had an uncontrolled ability to dramatically heat up anything he would touch. Born in Chusoh into a wealthy family, at some point in his childhood he accidentally set fire to their house and his parents and siblings died. He was then raised in the palace by Gole Tōrmoh. When the boy turned 12, Gole convinced him to leave the city, so as not to hurt anyone. Agzor went east and built a house of stone in a town of Lōris. Eventually, he crossed the Quoon river and lived in the snowy wilderness.
It is around this time that the Chusoh court began to use the threat of Agzor against the miners at Koalderood, Dverbe and other regions.
The destruction of Chusoh
When the conflict known as Chaos wars was in its full force in 72 SR, the elderly Gole Tōrmoh sent for Agzor and tasked him with burning down the rebels' camp. Loyal to the Gole, Agzor set off for a journey across the dry plains of Kōnzoh. While on its way there, he stopped at an inn. Having lived in exile for most of his life, he knew little about the situation in Toor. He got into a conversation with the barkeep and learned of the uprising, but also that Chusoh has threatened the miners with Agzor, calling him "absolutely loyal to the Gole" and acquiring the nickname "Tōrmoh's Pet Destroyer".
This angered Agzor, but he did not reveal his identity and continued on to Koalderood. When he arrived there, he was saddened by the poverty of the people and impressed by their will to fight for their freedom. Again, without revealing his identity, he left Koalderood, feeling betrayed by Gole Tōrmoh.
According to the popular account, which Porteek argues could very well be accurate, Agzor entered the palace and then took off his shoes and began to walk slowly across the room to the empty throne, surrounded by Gole's advisors and courtiers. The floor under his feet began to smolder. As Agzor stopped in front of the throne, he demanded to see Gole Tōrmoh. And the floor began to burn.
The fire quickly spread and the palace began to burn. Hundreds of palace inhabitants were trapped and died, while the fire moved from the palace to the surrounding houses. That night most of the city was destroyed by fire, killing thousands of inhabitants. Both Porteek and Ludoh date the event at 72 SR, possibly early autumn. Porteek then mentions a document that records the secession of Deeras from Toor, which is dated December 72 SR, although the referenced document has not survived.
