On loan from the Kothi: Desert outfit, Hide Armor, one ill-tempered Camel. Wonder whatever happened to her. Also, Bunky the Weasel. Not that he is "equipment", per se. Bunky does have equipment, however... Dolmarthis Once per day, Bunky can make a single bite attack as though he were size Colossal (4d6).
Background:
Karek Kogan is a force of nature hailing from Kalsgard in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings in the frozen north. Born the only child of loving parents, things changed one day when his mother, a prominent wizard named Nialta, left early one morning with no explanation and never returned.
Karek’s father, Hiro Kogan, had to presume her dead, and he didn’t take this well. He worked hard to raise Karek well, and school him in the Dwarven culture. Hiro did not trust many people, but instilled in Karek his extreme dislike of spellcasters. “Watch them,” he told Karek. “Work with them if you must, but they are not to be trusted.” He showed Karek the importance of his line of work – Architecture – and raised him to remember that stability, above all else, was the most important value in life. Young Karek, however, had a reckless streak a mile wide. Time and again, he disappointed his father with reports of fighting and, worse, destruction of property. Hiro despaired of raising a son that would carry on his legacy, but Karek proved instead to be an excellent brawler, who regularly triumphed in his matches, friendly or otherwise. As he grew, Karek came to understand the Dwarven sensibilities, and began to mature. He channeled his recklessness into a job in law enforcement. His martial talent combined with his excellent sense of the way people behave made him a formidable detective. While certainly not charming about it, he got the job done, and he got it done effectively – possible breaking down a few more doors than were strictly necessary. He specialized in overcoming the attacks of spellcasters, and bringing them his own brand of justice. Karek worked with the Kalsgard Police Force (such as it was) for ten years before he received a message that his mother was still alive. This message, sent to him from an anonymous source, became a catalyst for his adventuring career. In the one thing Karek and Hiro could agree upon for years, they decided that he had to go find Nialta and, if not bring her back, find out why she left. He roamed somewhat aimlessly through Avistan, lending his muscle and solving problems where needed. It was during this period he first came in contact with the Pathfinders by rescuing one from a grisly fate in the jaws of some huge monstrosity. This Pathfinder, so grateful for the rescue, was able to link Karek to more jobs with Society. For his part, Karek holds no special allegiance to these adventurers, but he accepts that their jobs are usually more interesting than your average quest. The Pathfinders were also able to tell Karek about Nialta. A wizard matching her description has been seen in Osirion. Karek hopped a vessel across the Inner Sea and has found himself in Sothis. He doesn’t really know where to begin, but if he keeps his eyes peeled, he may be able to learn something. |
