”It’s not enough to place a well aimed shot. A man needs to be able to dodge enemy fire too. A man with one and not the other will only end up an empty casing in the Ustradi River. But being able to marry the two. That’s where true power in Smokeside comes from.”

These were the last words Perdam spoke to his young nephew, Mylok. Perdam had been one of the best guns-for-hire in Alkenstar. Self-proclaimed of course.

”Primal Perdam, force of nature! People will pay more if you have a title, especially one that alliterates with your name.” More sage wisdom from the career mercenary.
As a youth, Mylok hung on every word that his uncle had to say. After all, it was Primal Perdam that kept food in the boy’s belly. Clothes on his back. His feet off of the streets. Mylok’s parents had both perished before their son could walk, leaving Perdam to (begrudgingly) take care of his nephew.

Most of the time things were good. Occasionally, Primal Perdam’s work life would bleed over into his home life. It was during one of these instances when a twelve-year-old Mylok raised his first firearm. The bully boy had come to exact his misaimed revenge. With Perdam out on a job, Mylok decided to defend their home. Three things came of the decision: Mylok killed his first man, the blunderbuss exploded and took Mylok’s eye with it, and Mylok became Misfire Mylok.

A few years later Perdam would impart his last slug of wisdom to his nephew before climbing onto a river barge. The next time Misfire would see the man who he called ”Uncle” but knew as ”Father” would be at the old man’s funeral. End the end, even running to Absalom was not enough to make Perdam’s enemies forget about him.

While Primal Perdam may have strived to instill into his nephew the importance of being professional, the ideas never quite stuck. Sarcastic and fun-loving, Mylok appreciates the humor in his nickname "Misfire" and usually tries to find a nickname for anyone he works with or for. Though he would rather fast-talk his way out of situations, Misfire Mylok is not afraid to get his hands dirty when the time calls for it.

At five foot, eight inches Misfire Mylok is used to having to let his pistol make up the difference in size. He usually keeps his hair and beard trimmer short in an effort to hide the graying hairs that have begun to sprout. By far the most noticeable feature is the eye patch over Mylok's right eye. Burn scars stretch from underneath the patch and reach halfway down his cheek.

Misfire Mylok is meant to supply bursts of damage to a single opponent while remaining mobile on the battlefield. With a few special alchemical cartridges he can provide some battlefield control as well. Outside of combat he can provide a couple of knowledges and is competent at bluffing as well. While not necessarily a "party face" Mylok is comfortable in a leadership role and will take command if need be even if he prefers to be in the employee's position.
