Ffortissimo was born Kurt Stuart, the child of peasants. But he's not one to admit to such a lowly past. Though a runt of a child, he grew into a muscular frame and a deep, booming voice. That voice drew the attention of Lord Candorini, a gifted bard. He took on Kurt as an apprentice, and through the passage of time molded him into the Great Ffortissimo! His voice had the power to strike fear and create discord and chaos in his foes.
Now, Ffortissimo finds himself in the employ of the Pathfinder Society - to repay a favor that Lord Candorini owed to the Lady Gloriana Morilla. Ffortissimo was glad for the chance. For he saw this as a chance to prove himself worthy of the attentions of the nobility.
