Zif is involved in many toasts offered up at parties, stories of treasures, and tales of surprising luck. Since he was a human, tales about him are easy to find among men and Firnoy. He is described as a man with short, wavy, brown hair and a goatee. His skin is olive and his eyes are a different color in every story. Tales say he still visits the world under the guise of a Firnoy with good looks brandishing a human rapier.

Personality

His disposition is jovial if not quirky and he enjoys a good laugh (at another's expense if possible). He adores wagers and parties. He's annoyed by stuffy types and rigid ceremony.

Relics

As a man, he always carried around his family's rapier, now known as the Blade of Zif, and it's still believed to be in the world.
