Bio

Ignacius Black was born in a small fishing village south of Juren to a comon family of comon fisherman. The mundanity of life around him would slowly wear on the young bard and eventually it would force him to pack up his bags and his mandolin to begin the search for adventure and babes. He was 15 years old and ready to bring rock to the world.

He had heard stories of Bards of old who made it to the big time by playing in the larger cities, so his first destination was Hezporia. He was not prepared for the fame that would find him there.

20 years later, and Iggy (as he is known to his friends) is the biggest act in Astorian. There isnt a place he hasnt played, there isnt a race he hasnt seduced, and there isnt a town that doesnt have a genuine Iggy Black and the silver cocks custom tabard (or T-shirt as he calls them) for sale in the Tavern. The world was his oyster and he was consuming without a seconds thought.

Over the course of his musical career Iggy estimated that he had produced approximately 15 illegitimate children, broken up about 7 homes and watched dozen of young ladies fall prey to the rock and roll lifestyle. He was completely fine with that, all is fair in rock and roll after all.

that is until one night, on top of a messa west of Norfort, after taking way to much Hash and booze, he had an experience. One that would alter the course of his life forever.

Time and space melted away for iggy, the universe was revealed to him. At first he assumed that this was the most awesome trip of his life, but he became uneasy as a glowing golden being appeared before him and gave Iggy the biggest guilt trip of his life. Though the Golden celestial was all heavy and emo, he did manage to get through to Iggy. The celestial insisted that rock was to be used as a power for good, rather than evil. He imbued iggy with the power of ROCK and the words of creation, which elevated his music powers to 11!

After the experience, Iggys alignment shifted to Chaotic good, and he dedicated his life to spreading rock and roll to all, and helping the weak as long as they werent ugly or boring.

Now at the age of 47 Iggy is a force for good in the world, but not THAT good.
