The Gemhound

A Gemhound is a Khord who took on the eternal crusade of hunting for false gems, or those stolen or illegally sold. Gemhounds come in very different forms, and use very different methods. While most Gemhounds take much time to prepare themselves by disguising and infiltrating the dark systems of illegal trade, others prefer to bash doors on whatever lead they picked up.
Whether under steady employment of the Khordal Kingdom or freelancing their service to the highest bidder, a Gemhound works because he believes that gems are a creation of Kharox, and they should be bathing in perfect condition at all times. A merchant trading them in the shadow of his table does not appreciate the true beauty, and should be punished.
One could easily compare a Gemhound with the bounty hunters of above grounds, finding tracks and following leads to find a final price. Gemhounds gain special traits by adjusting magical gems on their body. The description of a special trait will include whether or not a gem is required. If a gem is pried loose or otherwise lost it loses its power. Gemhounds that use a lot of disguises mostly make sure the gems are embedded underneath their skin, or in places hidden likewise.
