Backstory:
Darros was the son of a great chieftain of the Taurian community. Their village was a staunch defender of the old ways and a center for the keeping of the truth of the Taurian Tale. This was a constant annoyance to Baphomet, whose lies of his origins (claiming to be made from the soul of Austerian) were contemptuously refuted by the keepers of the Tale. As such, one night Baphomet sent his minions to destroy this thorn in his side.
The battle for Darros’s village was bloody and costly. Darros himself was very young and when the attack had ended, was the only survivor of his father’s sons. Darros was horribly wounded and there was not much hope for his recovery, but somehow he pulled through. Since then he has developed into an exceptionally resilient and strong example of his species.
Having no immediate family left, Darros devoted himself to be a holy warrior of Iomedae. Iomedae holds a special place to Taurians (those that do not succumb to the lies of Baphomet), as she was the messenger of Heaven that took Austerian and his mother to safety after the sacrifice of Tayros. However, old prejudices die hard and his attempts to join the ranks of paladins of Iomedae were rebuffed.
Now he heads for the Worldwound to prove both his faith and his strength in the worthy cause of defeating the demonic plague that threatens there. He hopes to be able to overcome the doubts and fears other humanoids naturally have of his appearance, but, more importantly, to prove himself worthy in the eyes of Iomedae.
Appearance:
The blood of Tayros runs true in Darros's lineage, and as such he looks like a classic minotaur. The only thing differentiating him from his more bestial cousins is his size. Though he is large for most humanoids, he is no where near the massive size of a minotaur. His eyes are also a give away as they lack the seething rage that is common in minotaurs. His fur is a glossy black with reddish highlights and his horns are startling white in contrast. One could almost mistake him for a paladin of Iomedae as his armor is emblazoned with her holy symbol and he wears a silver holy symbol about his neck.
Personality:
Always being shunned and distrusted, Darros has reacted in a similar manner. He is hesitant to engage with others and seems to expect a negative reaction from the start. He tends to be distrustful of those that initially treat him well unless they are also followers of Iomedae. He is an intimidating presence and he uses that well to his advantage, especially in combat. He tends to have an acerbic wit and almost always surprises those that meet him with his intelligence, as they expect a more brutish individual. He is honest to a fault and though slow to trust, is steadfastly loyal to those he does. His quick and hot temper can still cause him trouble and he works hard to keep a lid on it. However, the one overriding trait that is immutable is his utter devotion to Iomedae.
