Aazon Talieri is a Tethyrian human spy who serves as Jobal’s chief spy, confidante, and consort. He is neutral good in alignment, which contrasts notably with his employer’s neutral evil nature. Despite this moral difference, Aazon demonstrates unwavering loyalty to Jobal, who trusts him implicitly.
Role in the Adventure
Aazon acts as Jobal’s agent when the merchant prince deals with adventurers seeking wilderness guides. When characters visit Jobal looking for a guide to explore Chult, Aazon is assigned to escort them around Port Nyanzaru and introduce them to various available guides. During these introductions, he provides the party with information about multiple guide options (referenced as handouts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8).
Relationship with Jobal
The relationship between Aazon and Jobal is one of complete trust and loyalty. Jobal relies on Aazon not only for intelligence gathering (as his chief spy) but also as a personal confidante and romantic partner. This trust extends to Jobal assigning Aazon the important task of vetting and introducing potential clients to the guides in Jobal’s employ.
Character Note
Aazon’s good alignment suggests he may be unaware of or conflicted about some of Jobal’s more ruthless business practices, such as Jobal’s willingness to resort to theft and murder to acquire valuable maps of Chult.
