Background: Jax was born to a locally known smith family, outside of Citadel Adbar. With two older brothers who were quite involved in the family trade his father did not pay much attention t him. From an early age Jax understood and felt a call to nature. While typically ignored his family did not take well to him spending most of his time talking with the local fauna. One night, deep in his cup, his father took his smith hammer to him, and told Jax he was no longer a son of his, and cast him out.

Wandering through the wilds Jax soon ran into a small circle of druids and began to follow Silvanus. After several years of travelling and learning more of the world around him. Jax came across several kobolds hunting. While Jax believe that this was in balance of nature, he soon found them torturing their captive prey, and killing them for no reason other than sport. Enraged at the injustice Jax charged the group followed by his bear Feran, whom he had met earlier. Realizing that he was out-matched, jax took a wild swing at one of the hunting party who ducked. Because of the strength behind the blow, Jax’s fist got stuck in a dead tree and could not become dislodged. Jax continued the fight with a mass of wood attached to his hand, and ended up defeating his foes. From that day forward, Jax took the name Stumpfist.

Realizing that there was evil in the world, Jax more and more started following the ways of Mielikki and soon became a devoted follower, wanting to cleanse the world. Still entranced in the ways of the druid, Jax soon came to the conclusion that in order to protect those, both of the wild, and the world from the darkness that was spreading, he must learn more of the ways of fighting.

From being cast out of his Dwarven family, he has forsaken the use of the hammer, and in respect to the trees of his home, he has not touched an axe, he sought the weapon of Meilikki, that of the scimitar.
