Azariah is the embodiment of sass. She's charismatic, flirtatious, and sometimes a little bit of a bitch when someone is deserving of it. She pretends to be casual in all of her feelings but in reality she loves those close to her very deeply and she would do anything for them.

Her father Izaiah was a freelance spy/assassin and pretty sought after. When Azariah was a teenager he lost one of his arms in an accident and was unable to keep working. He was wrapped up in multiple deals with members of the Zhentarim and they weren't happy that he was no longer able to complete his side. They took literally everything Izaiah and his family had, and still weren't content. Azariah had learned a fair amount of skills from her father and made a deal with the man he was in debt to. She would work for him for five years, doing whatever he told her to without question and without payment. Once she had completed her work for him, her family would be free of debt. She didn't tell her parents about the deal, she just told them she was leaving home to "find herself." She sent them money whenever she managed to scrounge up extra from freelance jobs. While working for the Zhentarim she became more and more uneasy with the work they had her doing, and once her five years were up she approached the Harpers. It took quite a bit of convincing but she was eventually able to convince them to allow her to work with them. After proving her loyalty she started to rise up in the ranks.

A few years after joining the Harpers, the 3rd flood ravaged Faerun and the only way to end it was for someone to ascend as a god. Multiple organizations sent their choice of candidates-- Azariah was chosen by the Harpers. She had no desire to be a god, but knew that somebody had to do it and worried for the state of the world if any of the other candidates ascended. The chosen candidates formed a temporary alliance to reach the Astral Plane. Included in the group were Malice and Severin, two members of the Zhentarim that Azariah was tentative friends with. The group reached their destination and were told to fight each other for the right to divinity. The last one standing would become a god. Azariah tried to use her stealth to her advantage during the fight and she lasted a considerable amount of time by letting her opponents wear each other out, but in the end she wasn't strong enough to claim victory. Malice, in a moment of mercy and perhaps affection, allowed Azariah to live and simply knocked her unconscious. After beating another candidate named Theodoro, he was the victor. Azariah was the only other survivor.

She returned to the Harpers after her defeat, secretly relieved that she had not been the one to ascend. Malice's new position as a god was troublesome given his work with the Zhentarim and he would go on to cause massive amounts of trouble for the Harpers, but he retained a soft spot for Azariah and visited her frequently.

Azariah went on to have three daughters, who she raised by herself. One was fathered by Malice and one by Severin, they were both aware of the existence of their children and Malice offered occasional aid but they allowed Azariah to be the sole parent. Her parenting styles were perhaps unconventional, but she was a good mother and loved her girls, Melody, Mavis, and Anya, with all of her heart.
