General Khazard, also known as Khazard, is the leader of the Khazard Army. He is a Zamorakian Mahjarrat, and the son of Palkeera.^[1] He has established a large territory between Ardougne and Yanille and is at war with the gnomes.

He may be fought during the Fight Arena quest after killing Bouncer, his pet hellhound, though it is not required. He is spoken to frequently during The General's Shadow and Secrets of the North.

General Khazard is the youngest Mahjarrat, having been born on Gielinor during the late Third Age, during the God Wars. His mother Palkeera died shortly after his birth, leaving Khazard's upbringing and tutelage to her ally Hazeel.^[2] During the Fourth Age, he supposedly ruled a larger area in southern Kandarin alongside Hazeel. Khazard founded Port Khazard, ruling over weak-minded humans and making them his own personal army. He later came into conflict with the gnomes of the Tree Gnome Village after expanding his territory and increasing his territory in the area, and the Khazard–Gnome War persists in the present day.

Khazard is considered an upstanding citizen by the kingdom of Kandarin, and he and his private army operate with King Lathas's approval, who has at least once hired Khazard's army for peacekeeping jobs. However his conflict with the Gnome Empire makes him very controversial, and it appears the authorities of Kandarin are hesitant to get involved.^[3]

General Khazard is the owner of the Khazard Fight Arena and the one who ordered his men to invade the Tree Gnome Village. During the Fight Arena quest, it is revealed that he kidnaps members of rich families, such as Lady Servil's son and husband, and forces them to fight for their lives at his arena for the entertainment of his citizens. However, during the quest, he makes a bet with an adventurer — if they beat all of his monsters, he will set the Servil family free. The adventurer defeats all of Khazard's monsters, and an angry Khazard sets his pet hellhound, Bouncer, on them. The adventurer kills Bouncer, and an enraged Khazard attempts to kill the adventurer. The player can choose to either fight or flee; if they choose to fight and defeat Khazard, he will let the player go out of respect, promising to annihilate them if they ever choose to oppose him again.^[4]

Khazard is also featured during The General's Shadow miniquest where the adventurer meets Khazard's "ghost" in the Fremennik forest. The General appears to not recognize the adventurer, as he charges them with speaking to several messengers scattered across Gielinor. After this is done, Khazard tells them to visit the Goblin Cave near the Fishing Guild for their reward. The "reward", however, is a lie, as the General does indeed remember the adventurer and sets a trap for them. Upon entering the cave, the adventurer is ambushed by Bouncer's ghost. The adventurer manages to kill Bouncer once again.

During the events of Secrets of the North, Khazard was summoned by Clivet (or Alomone, if having sided with Hazeel during Hazeel Cult) after Hazeel requested his presence. He was irritated to see the adventurer due to their conflicts, but begrudgingly set it aside. He, the adventurer and Hazeel ventured to the north, where they entered an underground fortress and found an ancient seal guarding a door. During their investigation, they ran into an assassin and assisted the adventurer in fending them off, later standing guard at the door. After the adventurer investigated further and found a Mahjarrat named Jhallan, the assassin captured him and used him to open the door. Seeing that their investigation was a failure, Khazard left a detachment of troops to stand guard at the fortress, including a scout in the Shadow Realm in the event someone tried to enter from there.

• General Khazard used to hold his two-handed sword with one hand, yet attacked with both. This is similar to Vannaka, who wields both a dragon sq shield and a steel 2h sword in each hand. Moreover, his sword has the same attack speed as a scimitar, namely 4.
• In the news post for Fight Arena, he was called Kazar.
• During The General's Shadow, Khazard remarks he used to live in the desert, like the other Mahjarrat. However, in The Curse of Arrav, it is stated that Khazard was born towards the end of the God Wars, long after the Mahjarrat had left Icthlarin.
• In the RuneScape 3 quest Children of Mah, his father is revealed to be Zamorak.
• His sword seems to be one of the unused concepts for the Voidwaker.
