Background:
Though at first impression, many believe Aldryk to be some sort of berzerker. This however, is not entirely true, as he dedicates much of his time as a priest to prayers and doing his divine duties as Garagos commands him.

When Aldryk was merely fourteen years of age, he was a farmer's son near the small village of Trademeet in Amn. One fateful day, a pack of wild animals lead on by angry druids (TOTALLY ORIGINAL STORY RIGHT HERE /ROFLSARCASM) forced their way on to the Lefèvre farmstead and began to murder and kill the Lefèvre family. They burned down their crops as well as their wooden huts and homes. The fact of the matter was that the Lefèvre family had been harvesting too many trees at a nearby forests edge and caused the Druids to go quite crazy after the Lefèvre had even promised not to do such things.

Aldryk at the time, was asleep in his father's cellar when the event occurred, and the smell of burning lumber and flesh awoke him. He bursted out of the cellar, seeing most of the place on fire. He immediately in a jolt of confusion and adrenalin leapt through the firey flames. He fell to the ground with a large thud, but quickly pulled himself up to see cousins and uncles being dragged off into the woods by wolves and bears, while other family members lay in a charred heap of ash.

Instead of weeping bitterly at the loss, Aldryk felt a great rage build up inside of him. He found the body of his father and from him drew out a family heirloom: a simple dwarven crafted blacksmith hammer that was well beyond decent condition. Clearly enraged, Aldryk with some sort of unholy strength began to murder the remaining wild animals single-handedly while merely using the rusty hammer. Aldryk brutally ensanguined the farmland that had not yet been torched with the blood of the bears and wolves.

It was during this mass slaughter of woodland creatures that a voice spoke into Aldryk's mind. This voice was the divine favour of Garagos, clearly recognizing Aldryk's prowess in furious chaotic battle. This sign from the Lord of War calmed Aldryk deeply. Aldryk fell to his knees and began to pray to whatever deity was blessing him, for at the time he was uncertain. He dedicated his soul and his life, there and then, to Garagos. Aldryk felt that he had lost everything in the attack caused by the druid-folk, and he was therefore willing to give up his entire life for the Chaotic Neutral (later evil) Lord of Destruction and War.

After this miraculous blessing, Aldryk pursued the rest of the woodland creatures and by the powers now vested in him form the Lord of War, furiously charged and destroyed every druid that had been involved in the direct destruction of his farmland.

Afterwards, Aldryk began to travel Amn, preaching and taking up arms in battle to locals, adventurers, and others alike. He dropped his last name of "Lefèvre" and has compeltely forsaken it, never using or mentioning it. Though he was often ignored, or disliked by many, he never gave up. Those who did accept him were usually warriors, or Storm Knights in Athkatla. Eventually, he found his way into the coast, to continue looking for battle, causing war and strife in the name of his Chaotic Lord of War, Garagos.
Goals:
-To bring as much strife and war to Faeurn as possible, as done so by the Bloodreavers in following the will of Garagos. This involves convincing others to battle and sometimes starting the conflicts himself.
-To train and forever master the arts of war. The Brutal arts.
-
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- Aldryk is a little more intellegent than the average human (10 int) but he doesn't pay much heed to other gods or goddesses. His lore (an amazing 0) is solely based upon what he knows about Tempus and Garagos. He knows of other gods, but doesn't really care or understand what they stand for.
- Though his description may set him out as one, he is not a barbarian. He is quite wise, and uses what little diplomacy skill he can when trying to convince or speak to others around him.
-Absolutely hates Druids. Every single last one of them are dead to him.
- Has great acrimony towards those who mock or think little of war and battle. To him, battle is an art, and war is the masterpiece.
