Char was a female dancer in the service of Zaros, who believes herself to be the last of the Auspah race. Incidentally, Auspah is the name of the village the race originally inhabited too. She is first introduced in the Lore story Twice Burnt and has her story expanded in the quest, The Firemaker's Curse, where she serves as the antagonist of the quest.
Like the rest of her people, she is capable of creating and controlling fire. Her village was attacked by barbarians who thought they had powerful artefacts and her race was almost entirely destroyed, leaving only some of them alive, serving the barbarians with their useful firemaking ability and Char, a child in that time, was left barely alive on the battlefield since the barbarians thought she was dead.
She was sent with Zamorak, Thammaron, Viggora, Enakhra and Perjour to raid a Fremennik coastal village. While the others planned the attack, Char was left to tend the horses, at which time she was captured by a barbarian raiding party. In the village she found that there were others of her people there, chained to rocks and forced to catch rock crabs and cook them with their powers, seeing that, she became enraged and destroyed the village and killed all the barbarians, it is unknown what happened to the Auspah that were serving the barbarians with their powers after that.
She loathes Zamorak due to his betrayal of both her and her lord Zaros, and is currently plotting vengeance against him in her training cave, where she teaches the player how to make symbols with fire and increases her combat and firemaking abilities to be ready for her revenge.
Trivia
- When mentioned to Juna, Juna replies that "Zaros' return is not something I can look on kindly, but we must admire Char's devotion. It takes strength to stay loyal for so many centuries."
- Char is briefly mentioned in The Elder Kiln quest, when reading the Journal of Perjour.
- Both in-game dialogue and the story Twice Burnt imply that Char may have been a concubine to Zaros.
