About Tam Tribesbane

Tam was one of his band’s best scavengers. A small offshoot of the Tiger Lords tribe the Black Stripes band would travel the Numerian wastes living off the land in the ancient traditions of their people. Many of the band’s children would be sent out to scavenge any valuable scraps that could be found. Young Tam loved the freedom that being a scavenger granted him. He took endless joy in the miscellaneous bits and bobs he would find, always dreaming about what they may have once been and fantasizing about what secrets they held. One day he would uncover those secrets for himself.
It was after one such scavenging trip that Tam’s life changed forever. He had discovered a metallic eye of some sort on a blasted battlefield. This one was going into his collection. He knew he should have turned it over to his band’s traders to sell to the Technic league, but he just couldn’t help himself. Safely stored away in his tent he promptly forgot about it when he discovered the next interesting bauble.
It was only a week later when he realized his mistake. Returning from a hunting trip he crested a hill to see his band’s encampment a smoking ruin. From the hilltop he could barely make out the assailant, a large metallic figure shooting beams of energy, murdering his people. The last thing he remembers seeing is the robot reaching into his own tent and pulling out the eye that he had been so fascinated with.
When he came too, his people were dead and gone, their possessions scorched beyond ruin. In a fugue Tam scavenged what he could one last time, from his own home this time, and fled as fast as he could. He found himself fleeing to the nearest town, Torch, where he has remained for the past several weeks. One day, soon, he will build up the courage to leave the city. One day.
