Kaskovo is an NPC in the campaign the Curse of the Blessed Isle
Background
Kaskovo is a survivor of the war between Tepet Arada and Jochim the Anathema. He fought alongside Jochim and fled when his commander was killed. He fled to the only place where the Realm wouldn't follow him: into the Wyld. There he was captured by the Fair Folk as a young Exalt.
Nobody knows what happened in the 150 years before Kaskovo returned from the Wyld, and he wishes to talk to nobody about it. Fact is though that he returned more powerful than ever, but also insane from the Wyld energies. He started plotting a campaign against the Realm. For that purpose he found an alliance with quite a few Lunar Exalted and even a handful of Solar Exalted. Only a few people remain from this campaign. Anan, Saraj and Devi are confirmed survivors of this war. Daedalus is a confirmed casualty. There might be others within the Purpose who have been part of this war. Background is the strategist behind the Realm's victory in this second war.
Fifteen years have passed since that second war with the Realm. In that time Kaskovo has strengthened the Description and gathered new allies for another attempt at conquering the Realm. This time his main goal would be to eliminate the Bronze Faction. Having learned of their position and their wrongdoings, he is convinced that eliminating them should be his main concern.
Appearance
Kaskovo is a giant man, towering over 220 cm tall.
Personality
He is a very intelligent man and carries an aura with him that impresses people. He is a natural leader and pretty much the prime example of the grandness the Solar Exalted can achieve. At the same time he is also a prime example of why the Solar Exalted are called Anathema. He is ruthless and knowingly commits monstrous atrocities. He claims his actions are necessary for the good of all, and that somebody has to be the monster. He is a monster willingly so that others don't have to be. He is also borderline insane, but it seems his insanity has not come to the light in the presence of the players just yet.
Known powers
Caste: Dawn
Natural leader: People seem to flock around this man without much effort from his side. He is a powerful individual who wants to change the world for the better for all 'Anathema' and seemingly has the power to do so. What's more is that he doesn't classify himself as a leader or someone that should be followed. This kind of modesty seems to have attracted some of the more powerful members of his following to him as well.
Tactical genius: Kaskovo has a mind for war equal to the greatest strategists in the Realm. He exchanges blows with the Sidereal tactician Background. He also seems to be the guiding hand behind the actions of his spindoctor Anan, who is at the same time his apprentice and second in command.
Sorceror: Kaskovo is a sorceror of the Solar Circle.
