Azgar trains with his father and brother Grey eventually trained to keep his village safe. Later he learns the spiritual ways of the Druid. He meditates after discovering the ability to shape-shift into a bear. One day he suddenly became a were-bear and went to the village attacking everything in sight. Unfortunately he also finds his younger brother and in blind rage attacks him. Once he realizes what he had done he fled the village in fear. Fear that he had killed his brother. Thankfully his brother was not killed, and Azgar continued to guard the village from afar.

Years later the minions of Baal came to the village and Azgar was summoned by a child to help protect the village. He goes and fights the masses as they began the assault. Azgar nearly was overcame by the massive horde of minions but Azgar shifted into his Were-bear form and laid waste to the demons. Sadly as he was about to win the last Minion stabbed Azgar in the heart from his back and he fell. Before he passed on he saw his little brother; eyes covered by cloth hiding the gruesome scar. he held his brother as he passed crying while speaking of his brother.
