Mek and Rek's page

Mek and Rek are some god's idea of a sick joke. Born as a two-headed monster to an ogre and an Asmodean cultist, the Brothers came screaming into this world, and since then, have dedicated their lives to send the enemies of the First screaming from it. But even the most fervent disciples of the Prince of Darkness must work to eat, even if they share a stomach. Taking to banditry with ease and enthusiasm, they used the powers they received from their lord to handicap the merchants and travelers of Talingarde with great glee. It eventually got to a point where the trail they lurked on became a ghost road - not a man alive was sane enough to risk facing Mek and Rek and the rest of their motley band. So when a rather large caravan came through after roughly two weeks of no saps, the Oggr brothers couldn't be happier. But when they charged out of the trees to claim their prize, they found a trap, instead. Hundreds of soldiers of Talingarde had been assembled to end the bandit threat. And end it they did: slaying all of the Brothers' highwaymen and capturing the mastermind. The two now sit within the walls of Banderscar Prison, awaiting their beheading, and arguing over which brother will go first.

Mek is the calm, reasonable right half of the Brothers. He does most of the planning and detail work, and lives by the code "the ends will justify the means." He keeps Rek in line, preventing him from doing things he may regret, and is the truly devoted Asmodean of the pair, as taught by his mother.

Rek is the rambunctious, confrontational left half. He is the one who puts Mek's plans into action, and takes the most joy in what they do. He pays lipservice to Asmodeus, but is simply content to have an outlet for his destructive impulses. Despite this, he is fiercely protective of those he considers comrades, and will tear through ranks of enemies to keep his companions safe from harm.

Mek and Rek are not a pretty sight to look upon. Standing six and a half feet tall and weighing a bit under 300 pounds, they are heavily-muscled and broad-chested. With a pair of heads, each with its own ugly mug, the Brothers have faces only their mother could love. With bright amber-colored eyes, deeply tanned skin and shocks of short black hair, the two-headed Oggr has no lack of distinguishing traits.

They tend to wear dark, loose and ratty leather clothing, like most bandits do. When Mek forms their armor with the power granted them by their lord Asmodeus, it appears as any number of imposing varieties of armor, in shades of black and red.
