About Buron Windsted

Appearance:
Buron’s height is only out done by the girth of his stomach. Though he is a large man he is by no means slothful. Jovial down to his core he always has a smile on his face and a drink in hand. Though his beard is long he keeps in neatly trimmed, he is a great deal younger than many expect. Standing at 6.9 feet and weighing in at a hefty 400 pounds.

Buron is heavily inspired by Volstagg of the Warriors Three, from the Thor comics. If you are not familliar with Marvel's Volstagg

I would pick Half Giant if it was allowed.


Backstory:
Born to a low ranking family of coal miners Buron grew up thinking the stories he read in his father’s books were true. He always imagined himself a Prince but as he soon found out class in Cheliax is everything. For years he was bullied and he always fought them, sometimes he even won, yet those times were rare. Still the boys came everyday, they never stopped.

It soon became too much for Buron to handle and so he sot escape. First he attempted to run away. He never made it past the city gates. Then he tried escaping into his father’s tunnels. The coal dust was awful and he was simply too tall for the tunnels. Sweet escape came to him in the form of drink.

He was in a tavern when he found a catalyst that began the trek to overcome his fears, written there plainly on the wall.

“Seek out peace and peace will find you”

“Seek out knowledge and you will become knowledgeable”

He at once was inspired. Three days later he was on his way to Ustalav. After all he had heard of colleges there, sorting through all the wild stories of course. Isn’t that what the wall said to do, seek out knowledge? He soon met Professor Lorrimor and was at once awed. Spending the entirety of his short life savings he enrolled in a tutorage under the Professor. Over time Buron impressed Lorrimor with his wit and savvy mind. Their friendship grew beyond the classroom and two would often drink the night away. The duo discussing any and every topic.

But then tragedy. Lorrimor died.

Motivation:
Horror struck by the loss of his mentor Burron stares at the grave, lost.

What will the world become without such a marvelous man in it? How will I go on? Seek out peace and peace will find you? What drunken fool wrote that? What did seeking peace get me…only death.

Tears began falling down the big man’s yellow beard. When suddenly a light glimmered a twinkling of hope deep inside.

I shall carry on, “Seek out knowledge” and continue his teachings, throughout the world!
