[QUOTE="Brother Shatterstone, post: 1870090, member: 13442"] Hmmm I had many thoughts at one point in time but they seem to have scattered to the four corners of my mind in the months said I started this thread. Anyhow, I can make do with what I remember as long as your willing to realize I might remember, and what to change, something later on but before we start. :) I see him as being a very imposing figure, I’m not sure how many bugbears are “employed” by Izrador but I would like to keep close to the resource material and leave them as a minority at best or maybe have him be one of a few bugbears tolerated by Izrador and have him be the only one with any real power. (There is one, maybe two, Heroic Paths in later publications that really tie into Izrador… I look them up later.) My character realize he’s unpopular but could really careless, he sees the politics as being a waste of time, and he’s probably well known for circumventing others not in the hopes of making himself look better but simply because he’s a no nonsense type of person. He looks upon his job with “indifferent professionalism” he is cool and collected with doing the job, but if he needs information and can get it without beating it out of someone he’ll do just that. He’s not sadistic but he will do whatever is needed to get the job done. I see his minions being untrustworthy pawns, which is a very big deviation from D&D, but I think it makes a better story if his orc followers are not truly loyal to him but are instead their to watch him for the more normal Legates, Legates are pretty much dominated by Humans. Maybe a human sergeant controls the lackey pawns. The cohort should be useful enough to warrant respect, and vital enough to Izrador, that his/her death would come with stiff repercussions. Also the cohort shouldn’t be loyal to a fault, who knows maybe he/she isn’t loyal at all, either way I rather prefer the idea of the cohort being ran by you. I guess the best way to sum it up would be that my character is a professional and capable soldier but not much of a politician. If your fishing for ideas on the cohort I think a “face” would work better… I can see a need for a politician, for use against the others Legates and also to gather information against the resistance… There for I’m more leaning towards an attractive human female, whom would be more able to infiltrate the distance before my character knocked down the door, anything else would probably add to the distrust of him. (Sort of a subtle not so subtle type of thing.) Anyhow, I’m not sure if I answered your true questions before I started to ramble on about other things… Let me know if you still have questions. :) [/QUOTE]
