50 years ago, the Saber-Fang tribe was a great tribe numbering more than 150 hunters. Living as auroch hunters, the tribe followed the migration paths of the beasts, carrying their belongings on some domesticated beasts backs. They would hunt the old ones or the injured, culling the herds from their weakest. As part of the pact with the herd, they would protect the young calves from the saber tooth tiger attacks and the toughest warriors wore saber-tooth tigers skins.

Nial was the fifth son of the tribe chief. With good senses and balance, he was trained as a scout and excelled as an archer, always hitting his target. his prowess gave him the right to the Hunter Bow, a magical ivory recurved bow that the tribe gave to the best archer.
When the attacks started a few years ago, he was sent to the south to find a wife to bring new blood to the tribe. His quest took him first to an oracle in the Tusk Mountains who revealed him he needed to go far to the south to find the one that would live with him. He would recognize her as the woman bathed in blood, the last standing in a field of corpses. In his mind this vision amounted to a strong barbarian woman fighting off hordes of enemies.
His journey took a few years where he joined different tribes in search of her without success. One day, through his dreams, he was contacted by the tribe Shaman urging him to come back. His father and one of his brothers had been killed by a tribe of giants that were raiding the land and taking slaves. He hurried north, nearly killing himself out of exhaustion to find the last camp of his tribe at dawn. As a last defense, wooden stakes had be raised but were smashed to splinters. Corpses were everywhere and all the remaining tribesmen had been taken as slaves. All but one. as he prepared a pyre to burn the corpse, he saw movement. A single woman was still breathing. Bathed in the blood of the recently slain she had just been unconscious due to a blow that has splintered her tight. She had just hours to live as the wound was deep and she was moaning in her pain.
Cradling her in his lap, he prayed for whoever could save her and for guidance to reclaim his tribe.
Suddenly, as the first light reached her body, it seemed to take fire and to propagate to all the corpses around her. While they turned to ashes, the flames licking her wound knit back the flesh and bone and she was whole again. A voice was heard in the rising Sun. "You prayed for revenge and healing for your tribe. I heard you. When there is no redemption possible, it is time for war. Go, go and and fight."

Over the last months, Nial (ranger) and Serra (now a sorceress of celestial bloodline and cohort of Nial) have infiltrated a small giant encampment and freed a few of their tribesmen. The Saber Fang tribe numbers now three to four hands people with half of them young men and women able to fight. The other ones are for half kids that were strong enough to survive or old ones experts in crafting and tanning furs (experts).

Nial is a tall and thin human with dark eyes and hair. While quite young, his face is already marked by the rough live of the plains and the loss of most of his kinsmen. Quick on his feet, he has the stamina of his people and the grace of the saber tooth tiger whose skin he wears. Under these furs, he wears a finely crafted breastplate and carries the Hunter Bow, symbols of power and skill. He is usually quick and decisive but his travels have taught him to listen to different opinions and that time spent convincing others can be valuable.
