Avaro (pronounced ah-VAR-oh), given the title Baron Avaro by the sentient trebuchet Lord Mangana, is a construct of Mangana's creation. A sentient swirling mass of wands in a vaguely humanoid shape, Avaro is used by Mangana to aid in his attempted subjugation of the towns of the Western Coast under his court.
Avaro has been destroyed and recreated repeatedly - though he performs his role with gusto each time, Avaro is usually defeated every time Mangana's ambitions get too greedy again.
