HISTORY
Logen grew up on a lonely wheat farm owned by his parents close to Restov, a relatively isolated home life in regards to other neighbors. His mother and father were caring, and as he grew up, loved to tell stories to young Logen of a hero named Kurgess.
This Kurgess had been a pinnacle of athletic prowess many years ago, until he was killed in a trap set by jealous enemies, at one of his sporting events. He tried to save the other competetors, and succeeded, but couldn't save himself. The gods took pity on the man, and raised him to a godly status.
Always thinking of Kurgess's strength and self-sacrifice as incredibly noble, he was amazed when his parents eventually revealed to him that the tales were true. Not much later, the god became a sort of idol to the teenage boy, someone to look up to and emulate. Logen began training, earning enough money with chores around the farm to buy several javelins, and crafted a spiked gauntlet out of the materials he had in the barn. He'd spend days out in the fields practicing, from sun up to sun down. Logen surprised himself when he found he had an innate talent with aiming and precision with his javelins, and proud as well, as they were the weapon used most often by Kurgess himself.
One day, when he was out practicing in the field, Logen was set upon by a wild bear. It most likely had smelled the food he had brought for lunch and went looking for a snack, not expecting to find Logen as well. The black beast was much larger than him, and as he and the bear exchanged several blows, sharp claw against piercing javelin, he knew he couldn't win. He had suffered several wounds at the hand of the animal, including a torn bicep and a gash down the right side of his leg. Logen almost gave in to his grisly fate.
Then a strange calm settled over the boy while the bear roared in victory. He raised his last throwing spear in anticipation, the action somehow feeling... right. He pictured his childhood hero, that righteous and strong Kurgess, as he loosed the javelin at the charging bear. The weapon flew threw the autumn air and struck the beast between the eyes, killing it instantly. The calm feeling lifted, and somehow Logen knew he had been the subject of Kurgess's presence.
From then on, Logen has considered himself a devout follower of Kurgess, eager to carry on the demi-god's will. As the years passed by, he eventually turned eighteen, himself ending up as a respectable, strong, loyal man... if not a bit dull sometimes. He toiled on the farm to support his parents and their bread trade, but he knew he wasn't made for this kind of life. He wanted excitement, adventure. To prove himself in tests of all sorts, like Kurgess did while he was still mortal.
One day, after many long hours working in the fields, Logen came back to the house to find the door ajar. Stepping inside, he was confronted by the sight of his two dead parents on the kitchen floor, their throats slit. Through his grief, Logan noticed that the few pieces of his mother's jewelry were missing. Fearing the worst, he headed upstairs to the family stash, and sure enough.... every last piece of gold was gone. But next to the chest was an amulet, one he hadn't seen before. It was a bit grimy, but he could clearly see that it was shaped in the head of a stag.
Logen spent days giving his loving and kind parents the proper burial they deserved, giving them both Kurgess's blessing, and gathered up his things. He didn't know who, or what, killed his parents... but he was sure as hell going to find out. He left for Restov, the nearest city, leaving his entire life behind. Armed with his faith, his weapons, and that strange stag amulet, Logen is determined to find his parent's killers and give them the retribution that they deserve.
