Cyrus the Black's Background
A dwarf, Cyrus normally walks about with his axe hooked at his side or over one shoulder. His dull gray field plate covers him completely from neck to toe with his bare bald head sticking out from the top. A full, deep, red beard covers where any insignia would normally be on his chestplate and the kite shield strapped to his forearm is unpainted.
Originally, Cyrus was banished from the Dwarven Kingdoms at a very young age. He was constantly getting into trouble for not following directions, even moreso than other young dwarves. After breaking so many laws his father declared him a nuisance to the Family, he failed to pass his initiation into manhood. Not wanting to remain subservient for another long year, he stole one of the locked stone boxes from the Clerics of the hold and fled. Ironically, as he begged and scrapped for survival in the human lands, Cyrus sold the very same stone box he had never managed to open.
Wanting to have nothing more to do with his dwarven heritage he took an alias of the human, a God of the sun to prove his willingness to live above ground. But his troublesome luck and gruff attitude have stuck with him in the human lands. Over the years he has done a variety of things to get a bit of gold coin. Having only brawn and battle skills with which to barter, most of what he has done is less than honorable.
Now an aging mercenary who is perennially down on his luck, Cyrus has lived most of his life in a culture which has no place for him. He was part of the Broken Horn mercenaries until about one year ago, when the entire company was either captured or killed. All except him, that is. Fortune smiled on him that day when nature called and he missed the attack. Or so he told himself. Actually he had hid in the outhouse hole trembling in fear after accidentally leading the County’s troops to the company’s hideout. Vowing revenge on the “heroes” who had brought his friends to “justice”, Cyrus has been hunting his arch-enemies for last several months..
