Character History

Blood-covered dudgeon's, the cries of captives even. The smell of burning hair & the taste of a humidity fused with fluid, sweat, & earth would hang low in the air. For the first 13 years of Grubash's life these were the feelings of routine; the sounds & senses of ritual & motion known to his body automatically even. Born among the Echo Isles to Troll Hunters brainwashed by Zalazane- Grubash was spared from a premature sacrificial death when the Witch Doctor decided he could be raised as a pupil, a loyal disciple. The perfect tool in his own schemes & vendettas. While the young Troll excelled at mimicking his master through daily activities he showed a reluctance in the ambushes laid for unsuspecting fishermen from the Darkspear tribe. For years it was Grubash's hand that drove small daggers through the hearts of victims tip-to-hilt. It was he whom spread the blood ceremonially across the foreheads & tusks of those who worshiped Zalazane. At night when he slept occasionally he would question the actions of his past but left it mostly undisturbed.

Eventually the Darkspears fled the Isles for the mainland yet sent half-hearted mercenaries to the Isles in an attempt to beat back Zalazane, or weaken his numbers. These brought interesting challenges to Grubash since these men & women sent usually ended up becoming inductees into the ranks of the witch doctor. However, during the last years of his teenage years Grubash saw something he never had before- after dozens of raids against their strong island he was taken so incredibly by surprise that he was dumbfounded. He awoke to the horn alerting them of an attack & when he rushed out of the hut he saw a beast taller than any Troll with eyes burning in wrathful fire & horns reaching crookedly from it's furrowed brow. In it's strange, wind-like tongue it formed the earth into thistles that captured Grubash's associates while lightning spewed from the air to pummel them as the beast transformed into a cat like the tigers native to the islands. This hoofed and yet now feline demon dispatched as many as six servants of Zalazane before a second alarm was bellowed. When the alerter was silenced the monster assumed a form that was bear and not bear, now tearing into the homes & remaining villagers most horribly. In it's own growling language it called out for Zalazane, desiring to do battle with the old Troll. Grubash took to hiding in the brush yet watched in horror as Zalazane laid out his best curses & jinxes on the creature who only returned once to the hoofed form to drink something before melding into the cat once again. After roughly 20 minutes Zalazane staggered, fell & sighed his last hideous breath. The horned demon returned to full height & beheaded Grubash's master.

When he awoke, Grubash found he was being drug by the creature on to the shore of Sen'jinn village towards the hut of Gadrin. After looking the boy over & muttering a few words Gadrin did the unthinkable & wiped a part of Grubash's holy face paint away which sent a large amount of pain through his young body- the last hold Zalazane had placed on Grubash had been broken & wiped clean, and for the first time in his life Grubash was conscious of his own being, of his own thoughts.
