Krom

• Race: Brenthian

• Age: 40

• Home: Kharn Ulum, western Brenthia

• Pillar: Reck

Notable Features:

The only feature about Krom worth noting is that he always seems to either have a drink in hand, or he has one nearby.

Background:

Krom was 15 years old when the Westerners invaded and war erupted, and was promptly sent to Brenthia's School of Battle, though in truth it was wear he was most likely headed anyway. Krom's class was considered too young and inexperienced to fight against the hoards the Western army, and so they instead received excessive combat training, should the time come when Brenthia was forced to deploy its youngest soldiers to the front lines. During this time Krom became proficient in the use of many weapons, including the sword and the axe, but the warhammer became his favorite as he found smashing his foes to be more satisfying than stabbing or chopping them. Fortunately, Cyax the Liberator defeated the Westerners before Krom's class was needed. In the aftermath of the war, Krom set out as a mercenary to put his fighting skills to use, including working as a guard for Rimi.

Feelings Towards PCs:

• Glad: Oh boy. Where to start with this one? A damned fine warrior, that's for sure, and he knows the value of a good drink. He has the habbit of laughing at the most inappropriate things, which in turn makes Krom laugh. Glad is always welcome at Krom's side, be it in a bar or in a fight.

• Haaszander: A resourceful blackscale with an impressive shapeshifting ability, Haas is a welcome addition to the group. She can be a little straightforward at times, and can be ruthless to her enemies, but she appears to be genuinely invested in the group.

• Rimiuda: A longtime companion of Krom's, having Rimi around is a source of comfort and stability in Krom's otherwise loner lifestyle.

• Eierryn: The least experienced of the group besides Tilly, Eierryn has nevertheless settled in nicely with the band. The name Silver Foxes comes from her and that fox of hers, Sly, and is a testament to her commitment to the group.

Feelings Towards NPCs:

• Elias: Big. Very big, with an impressive confidence about him. Krom likes having Elias around, and is looking forward to getting drunk with him one of these days. Plus, Krom got to ride him once in battle, which was exhilarating.

• Tilly: A sweet, smart girl. She can be naive at times, but Krom finds her inquisitive nature most amusing when it is to the annoyance of others.

• Phrixus: Ha! A bit of a stick in the mud, which is what makes him so fun to pick on. Still, he's a good lad, and is quite useful too. His new attunement should expand

• Tova: If Phrixus is a stick in the mud, then Tova is just a stick. Not that Krom minds having him in the group or anything, and he is a willing team player. He just seems so sullen most of the time. Well, he probably had a tough upbringing...

• Ephrath: Krom does not trust Ephrath one bit. Nor does he like him. Probably on account of him being a smart-ass twat. In fact, the only thing Krom enjoyed more than riding on Elias was smashing the little twat Ephrath on his stupid twat head. He begrudgingly admits that this might have been an overreaction.

• Imbri: The group's relationship with Imbri is supposed to be mutually beneficial, but the exchange has been one sided so far. Krom wonders if their alliance with Imbri might prove to be a mistake, but it was unavoidable at the time, and he does appear to be mostly pragmatic.
