Brawn¶
Brawn grew up in a simple orcish village called [[Murgrog]] where orcs employed specialized grappling techniques to subdue the large animals they rode as mounts. After falling on hard times Brawn moved to a nearby village where he began wrestling for entertainment. He quickly moved up through the ranks due to his size and skill.
After a run of success, he was approached by some shady characters who offered him "something special to take a dive" he found a small satchel containing hand wraps in his change tent shortly after. Refusing to fall in the match he was blacklisted from many of the local fights.
Shortly after The Pact took Hammerfall he was "investigated" and thrown in a cell. Furious about this betrayal he simmered for some time in the fury of this betrayal. In the deep quiet of prison, he decided to pursue a new focus.
The betrayal of the Chosen burns in him still. Brawn had stood up to corruption before — to the shady figures who tried to get him to throw matches, to the pressure and the coin — and he had been proud of that. So when the Chosen found a way through his armour anyway, the shame was total. He will not let it happen again. He will not wait, will not deliberate, will not be careful if careful means being too late. He has made a vow — silent, brutal, and entirely his own — to throw himself at making it right, whatever the cost.
Current State¶
His right hand was sacrificed in the Temple of Tyr. It was replaced by living chain-link — pale silver, warm, fully functional. He now bears a grey scale tattoo of Tyr on the back of his wrist.
