Kazakus's Lore:



Kazakus is a Zandalari troll and the sinister and mysterious leader of the Kabal. No one really knows his true origins, but nor does anyone really care; instead, what they care about are the corrupted mana potions he sells. His motto is "Power should be attainable for anyone, at a price". Kazakus' tusks have become contorted and twisted due to the corrupted mana he uses, and the large red circle on the center of his stomach is a portal that goes right through his body to an unknown destination, possibly another dimension.



In addition to his grander machinations, Kazakus also brews Kaza-kola, a refreshing drink enjoyed by the entire Kabal as well as many other residents of Gadgetzan. However, even this apparently mundane act has a darker purpose: the so-called Kaza-kola is more accurately named the Potion of Madness, and as well as being a delicious thirst-quencher also acts to slowly erode the drinker's will and sense of self.



"Little is known about our esteemed leader, the master alchemist Kazakus. WHO CARES? What matters is his vast knowledge of alchemy and the arcane, and the delicious power he offers binds us to him. . . TOGETHER! It binds us together, yes. Some claim that a back alley potion brewer couldn’t possibly have such knowledge, and some are foolish enough to spread rumors that he’s secretly a dragon, demon, or some other powerful entity in disguise.

LIES! SLANDER! DEFAMATION!

MAYBE IT’S ALL TRUE!

NO ONE KNOWS!

WHAT?"



Rumors abound about Kazakus' true nature, and certain sightings suggests the enigmatic alchemist may be hiding a scaly secret. The Gadgetzan Gazette Volume 32 #8 mentions rumors about "secret dragon people" infiltrating Gadgetzan in disguise. The Kabal itself also includes a number of dragonkin members, and some of the gang's potions have a suspiciously pro-dragon agenda.

Kazakus's design philosophy is simple. He is designed to allow players to live the "Create your own Hero" fantasy. Kazakus has three extremely basic abilities: THROW POTION, SMASH POTION, and DRINK POTION. One their own, these abilities are mundane. Once they have been augmented by the player, Kazakus can take onrole within the game. You can build Kazakus to assassinate enemies with exploding potions, destroy enemy forts with potions that summon demonic minions, protect your allies with healing potions, or sustain heavy damage for your team by drinking potions that enhance Kazakus's survivability. But be warned! Augmenting abilities come at a price, and will increase both the mana cost and cooldown of Kazakus's base abilities depending on the effects added. So choose wisely!When built correctly, Kazakus can be an effective assassin, specialist, healer, tank, or a jack-of-all-trades but master of none.
