Azeban deceives animals and other beings for food or other services. Azeban is a dog of the Dawn Land People, specifically Cedar Girl.
Azeban is one of a litter of six born to Awasosqua (Bear Woman). The others are Awasosis (Little Bear), Kwaniwibid (Long Tooth), Mikwe (Squirrel), Moosis (Little Moose) and Soksemo (Good Nose). All the spirits in Awasosqua's broods are dogs, and are named after their characteristics.
Throughout the run, Azeban would refuse to distribute water/food (fine, mages hate doing that, I hate asking anyways) and wouldn't give Arcane Intelligence to anyone in the group.
Azeban and Aratta both said they were ignorant of the fact that when you loot a cache, there is no greed/need roll on the item.
Whether or not they know how to play their characters, or if they were trying to disrupt things by not filling their roles, is outside the issue.
