Oleg Dhuzy's page

Oleg is a middle aged human, large of bone, muscled but fat all over. He is the type of strong man that no one would make into a marble sculpture, but who could pick up a mule and take its kick without cracking a rib. He sports an amazing mustache that's as imposing as his belly. He laughs often, talks loudly and without a hint of sophistication, and seems to never take problems seriously enough. Oleg tends to be everyone's friend, especially after an ale or two.

To those that know him more deeply, his joviality and friendliness hide a deeper sadness and loneliness. Oleg is a man who hasn't accomplished much with his life, and who has experienced a lot of failure and pain. He is just trying to enjoy what life has to offer him, until the real good days come along.

Before a fight, Oleg seems to be the least prepared man around. Big, fat, not well armored or armed, and certainly not quick. Once the bar-fight gets going, he becomes capable of incredible improvisations both with surrounding furniture as well as tactics. All those years fighting off bandits, crooks and bickering with his wife have left their marks.

Oleg is nearing middle-age and has already lived a full life. He plied his trade in the river kingdoms as a merchant alongside his wife, Helena. Realizing their dream, they opened a small trading post near Brevoy that struggled with constant banditry and financial setbacks.

Helena always expected more of Oleg, for him to drink less, to work harder, to negotiate better profits, to be more romantic, and so on. With time, their happy life together changed into a cold tolerance and then into constant bickering. Eventually, the only thing that loved Oleg was his cup of ale, and the only thing that satisfied Helena was money and impressing her neighbors. Not having fathered any children, a parting of their ways was inevitable.

Helena talked Oleg into leaving the business to her, as he would just "drink it all away", and to go do something else with his life far away from all of his failures. He stayed for a while, but found his friends growing as sparse as his coin purse. Having gained a poor reputation, he moved on west and eventually found Numeria.

His strength and meaty fists have earned him a well paid place among many adventuring parties that like to explore the lands for strange artifacts. Oleg's drinking and his ability to get others to participate in that vice to excess often end his working relationship with such groups. He has participated in enough of these expeditions that Oleg has quietly picked up bits and pieces of the Androffan language, as well as a growing list of what not to do with the recovered artifacts.

Recently, adventurers and explorers have either not had room for Oleg, doubted the man's worth by the size of his girth, or caught him on a day he was too drunk to be useful. Hopefully, he will get a chance to earn some coin with the next group to come through town.
