[QUOTE="Maliki, post: 2461897, member: 19073"] Maddog Drake Drake was born to a tavern serving wench and a about two decades ago. His father, so he is told, was a caravan guard who was just passing through. As he grew older he began to help around the tavern. When he was about 10 the tavern was burnt to the ground by the local thieve guild when the owner failed to pay his monthly protection money. His mother was killed in the fire, and he was left alone and homeless. After living on the streets for several months he was taken in by the clerics of a local temple of Pelor. He lived at the temple for several years, his quick temper and aggressive nature often conflicting with the teachings of the priests. For his faults the clerics could see that Drake had a good heart and did their best to curb his anger.. A traveling paladin that would visit the temple from time to time taught young Drake the basics of combat, teachings that would be put to the test in the coming years. When he was about 15 the local lord was having trouble with goblin raiders, so he formed a volunteer militia to deal with the problem. Drake was “volunteered” into service. While most of his fellow volunteers feared for their lives, Drake relished the thought of getting into battle. Several months of minor skirmishes with the goblins led up to the lone major battle of the campaign, The Battle of Lone Oak. It was here that Drake earned his nickname “Madddog” as he repeatedly hurled himself at the goblins forces with no fear of death or injury. It was here that he acquired his club, taken from a fallen goblin warrior. After the Battle of Lone Oak, regulars in the lords guardsmen took notice of Drake and he became a full time member of the lords guards. This did not work out well at all, for while Drake relished combat, the tedious routine of the guardsmen life grated on his nerves, and he began to make his own fights, with his fellow guards, the townsfolk and the his commanders. This led to his dismissal from the ranks. He then turned to the life of a caravan guard, but the only time he was content was when the caravans where attacked. He began having brawls with his fellow guards almost on a daily basis. When the caravan master tried to intervene he was hit as well, Leaving Drake once again unemployed (and nearly broke), looking for a way to earn enough money to eat, while involving mass amounts of mayhem.
