Quote: “So how much do I owe you again? Hmmm… that might be difficult…double or nothing?”
Background: I was born the third son of a minor noble in Talabheim. After years of education in the finest schools my homeland had to offer, I grew bored with the life of the gentry. When Emperor Karl Franz called for able bodied young men to serve, I joined without hesitation. My father was intimidated by the Duke into funding a unit of pistoleers. I served in the unit as a Sergeant, cutting his teeth in battles against the Bretonnians and Skaven filth in the valleys and passes of the Grey Mountains. I returned home after two years of service, fully expecting to recieve a hero's welcome from his father. But the family's fortunes had faded away in support of the unit, and I found myself despised by my bitter parents. Furious, I left home with the same possessions he brought back from the wars. I had developed a taste for cheap wine and gambling while on the road, and it eventually landed me in trouble in Middenheim after a long night of revelry. I found that he could not pay my tab or the deep debt to a member of the town guard. I was tossed into the stocks, where I find myself in the strange situation of being drafted into the Order of the Knights Panther.
Appearance: I’m not a bad looking sort, or at least I’m told. I decided to shave my head while in the military (mostly to keep down on lice, truth be told), but I do like the way it looks. Normally I wear my mail all day, and keep my pistols close at hand. All this recent training has gotten me back into fighting shape. My shoulders may ache after a long day of pounding away at a target dummy, but they are strong and broad, and my arms have regained their former power.
About this character: I have spent far too many nights in far too many dank cells. The last six years have been a blur of seedy gambling houses and taverns, cheap women and cheaper wine. Maybe this is my chance to get back on track. The Knights Panther! Who would have thought, me a Knight. My companions seem capable. Hopefully this Witch Hunter Hammer is telling us all the facts about the task ahead of us. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, we will make it out of this with our heads still attached to our shoulders.
