BACKGROUND IN BRIEF expand
He had a real name... once. Gloomblade was what they called him now. It was a tattoo, in Dwarven script, inked on his right forearm. It was one of many other tattoos on the Half-Orc's body. On his upper left arm was a stylized serpent, symbolizing some sort of barbarian tribe. He barely remembered whatever time was spent there. On his left forearm was the tattoo he received some time either just before or just after landing in Sub Saan Prison. They told Gloomblade he was serving time for attacking some sort of important official. That's not the way to accused remembered it. Of course, all prisoners proclaim innocence, don't they?
And there would have been an end to Gloomblade's story long before it had a chance to begin, if not for a fellow prisoner, Gareth Stonecall, a former stonemason who'd been serving time for braining his patron in a very ugly and very public pay dispute. Stonecall, who befriended Gloomblade, was one of the very few who would dare speak to the wary Half-Orc castoff. The stonemason, while incarcerated at Sub Saan, had studied the gods and become something of a prison preacher. He helped shepherd the lost ones into the light, convert them from depraved into saved, and redeem those one irredeemable souls.
Gloomblade joined Stonecall's church, which met for a few hours a week in the prison kitchen. There, Gloomblade learned much about the gods he'd mostly ignored during his life. It was an eye-opening experience and one that led to Gloomblade's eventual release. With Stonecall's help, Gloomblade was able to prove his innocence of all charges and, after five and a half years in the hells of Sub Saan, Gloomblade was granted his release.
The warden asked the reformed Gloomblade where he'd like to be transported. After all, it wouldn't be proper to release Gloomblade or any prisoner right outside what was supposed to be a secret prison. Gloomblade didn't really have a home to call his own. From all he could remember of his life before imprisonment, the Half-Orc had been on the run from someone or something. Perhaps it was something deep within the recesses of his mind that prevented Gloomblade from remembering his pursuer. Perhaps this was for the best.
For these reasons, Gloomblade asked to be taken to a place far from what most would call civilization. He was transported to the frontier town of Overlook, where his life's adventure would truly begin.
