Bogoraz

Bogoraz is a Yezda. Described as having the appearance of Makuraner blood, he is sent as an envoy from Yezd to negotiate an alliance with the Gray Horse Arshaum. He undergoes the ritual of Onogon's spell, stepping through the flames to bind his promise to bring no harm to the Khagan, Arghun.

Because Onogon supports Videssos, Bogoraz poisons him with hemlock, killing the shaman. Bogoraz is a capable and intelligent diplomat, but Arghun chooses Videssos nonetheless--and Bogoraz attempts to poison the Khagan as well. Gorgidas springs into action, saving Arghun's life, and Bogoraz is claimed by Onogon's spell, bursting into flames that do not burn anything else.

Bogoraz's tattered coat is used as a standard by the Arshaum forces that invade Yezd.
