Name: Karnak
Race: Human - Kellid
Class: Druid 9/ Mammoth Rider 8
Alignment: CN
Path: Champion
Background:
Karnak's mother was a shaman and his father a simple shepherd. As a small child he was carefully tutored in both the care for those under him as well as reading the stars, clouds and winds in order to channel the magic of the world. As was the tradition of his people, he was sent away from his loving parents to make a life for himself among the Mammoth Lords. Alone under the stars and nearly frozen to death, Karnak found his connection with the living planet. Specifically half-frozen and nearly starved to death he was found (nearly trampled on) by a pack of wandering Smilodon.
The leader of the pack, a massive animal Karnak nick-named Sviendorog, kept Karnak close, allowing the young druid to not only grow closer to the magic that flowed through the wild and untapped lands of the Mammoth Lords, but also become a great warrior. The pack kept Karnak well fed and strong, and Karnak ensured that the pack could always find food and steered clear of human hunters, who often attacked the tigers on sight for fear of losing their prey.
After years of living with the pack and the ageless Sviendorog, Karnak lead the group west in search of new hunting grounds. Still well within the lands of the Mammoth Lords, the pack came upon a group of soldiers from the west. Assuming that they were simple explorers, the pack ignored them but sound noticed that they were being stalked. In the dead of night Karnak and Sviendorog made the decision to ambush the stalkers. But in a twist of fate, the soldiers were defending a pair of witches from the court of Irrisen. Before the night was over, the only remains of the pack were a bloodied and beaten Karnak and Sviendorog.
There was only one real choice to make: find those witches and achieve their revenge. Since then, Karnak and Sviendorog have put their private war against Irrisen aside in order to try to infiltrate the nation and begin a larger war closer to the enemy's home.
I'll work on the character tomorrow.
