Tavrin Callas

[Voxra]

First Name: Tavrin
Last Name: Callas

Appearance:

Pretty large for one of his kind, packed with muscle and sinew. His face and arms are covered in old scars, which gives him an ugly and pretty menacing mug. In contrast, his eyes often twinkle with mirth and he has deep laugh lines. He keeps his head shaved, apart from a short mohawk in the traditional Slayer style, although he doesn't wear any other Slayer markings. Is rarely seen unarmed and if he is, it's obvious that it makes him uncomfortable.

Race: Shield Dwarf
Age: Unknown, probably around 70
Height: 4' 8"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Eyes: Pale blue
Hair: Reddish blonde
Facial Hair Style: Cropped beard on chin and jaw, no moustache

Personality Profile:

Tavrin is mostly easy going, at least when he's dealing with "his own kind". Alway talking about the Right People, he prefers to surround himself with rogues and thieves. He feels most at home when part of a crew or gang, and it's obvious that he misses that comfort. He lives by a fairly strict code, and is extremely loyal to his friends. He can act a bit grumpy and has quite the temper when provoked, but he has no wish to cause harm for its own sake.

General Health: Good, but with scars from previous battles
Deity: Jergal
Initial Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Profession: Bruiser/Con man/Extortionist/Ruffian
Base Class & Proposed Development: Fighter, Rogue, Weapons Master, Dwarven Defender
Habits/Hobbies: Enjoys a strong drink and good company. Especially with other rogues and thieves. Can get pretty deep when discussing religious matters.
Languages: Dwarven, Undercommon, Common
Weapon of Choice: Dwarven Waraxe

Background:

Found almost dead in a forest many miles from the Sword Coast, he was nursed back to health by a seclusive order of monks. After staying with them for little more than a year, he travelled for weeks before reaching Roaringshore, where he took on with a mercenary crew as a bruiser. The crew changed a couple of times during the year that followed and Tavrin became close friends with the brains of the gang. Unfortunately, during the last big scheme they pulled, another gang managed to trick them into an ambush and all but Tavrin was slaughtered. Fleeing Roaringshore he managed to catch a ride with a caravan heading to Baldurs Gate.

Goals: Tavrin is struggling with the fact that he can't remember who he used to be. He is quickly relearning old skills, but he still doesn't know where he picke them up originally. One of his prime goals is to uncover the truth of his past, but the more time he spends in BG, the more he learns to value his new life and his new friends. He is desperate to get in with a new gang, and is determined to show the Right People of BG that he can be of great value to them.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Always open to be a part of a con, or a scheme. Is most comfortable serving as a bruiser or playing the brute. Apart from this he will almost certainly be willing to pay or do service to someone who might help him with his goals. Be friendly to Tavrin and he will cling to you. Try to threaten him, and he will be ready to make a mess.
