Dace is missing a small triangle piece from his right ear, a battle scar from one of his arena matches, and bears numerous bruises form his violent life, that lay hidden beneath his brown mane. Total Hit Points: ?   Speed: 30 feet  Armor Class: 15 = 10 + 4 [natural] + 2 [dexterity] - 1 [large size]  Touch AC: 12 Flat-footed: 13  Initiative modifier: + 2 = + 2 [dexterity] Fortitude save: + 6 = = 1 [base] + 5 [constitution]  Reflex save: + 6 = 4 [base] + 2 [dexterity]  Will save: + 6 = 4 [base] + 2 [wisdom] Attack (handheld): + 10  = 4 [base] + 7 [strength] - 1 [Large size] Attack (missile): + 5 = 4 [base] + 2 [dexterity] - 1 [Large size] Grapple check: + 19 = 4 [base] + 7 [strength] + 4 [Large size] + 4 [Improved Grapple feat] Possesses Darkvision 60 feet. Light load: 466 lb. or lessMedium load: 467-934 lb.Heavy load: 935-1870 lb.Lift over head: 1870 lb.Lift off ground: 3740 lb.Push or drag: 9350 lb.    Languages: Common, Giant   Feats:  Improved Unarmed Strike (You do not provoke attacks or opportunity from armed opponents when you attack them while unarmed.)  Improved Grapple (You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you make a touch attack to start a grapple.

As soon as he could walk and did not need to suckle on his mother's milk, he was herded in to the large training grounds that prepared young calfs for their race's roles as jailers and executioners in the Red Wizard's labyrinth. Being among hundreds of his kind, many of which were older and stronger, met the young Minotaur with the grim reality of the brutal laws that his species followed - the strong dominate the weak, and ferocity trumps mental potency.As such, Dace was forced to adopt these ways and fight each of his meals and to keep his possessions from the hands of others. Stronger and older Minotaurs that had been in the academy for several years beat Dace more than once, and left him broken and hungry to spend the night on his hay filled bunk. They could never crush his spirit however, and Dace filled his amber eyes with grim determination and sharp, cold hate.As he grew in to adolescence, the Minotaur displayed a remarkable physique even for one of his kind. He had taught himself how to fight unarmed and by his sixteenth year, no one dared go up against him alone, especially after he nearly strangled one of the older Minotaurs. In the academy things went well and Dace was taught in the use of the Greataxe, and also learned how to track enemies trough the corridors of the Abjurer's Labyrinth.As he finally stepped in to Minotaur manhood and grew to the appropriate size for an adult of his species, Dace grew more and more resentful of his birthplace. Nothing tied him to it, and his freedom loving spirit craved more than the simple life of a prison guard. He had never enjoyed the prospect of imprisonment to begin with, and that was becoming more and more apparent as the elders tried to steer him in to joining the ranks of the guards.One night, Dace packed what little possessions he had gathered during his nineteen years of life, and left for the surface world. Both the world above and Thay had much to offer, and the Minotaur was quickly reeled in the busy and colorful life of human kind. The need for money and shelter however, drove him to apply as a gladiator in one of the arenas. He was not the best, but his kind was an attraction on it's own. Several times he bested other gladiators, often using his bare hands and nothing else. Once he even fought to the death wielding his Greataxe, lopping off his opponent's arm from the wrist, but losing a small triangle peace off his ear in the process.All was going well for Dace however, as he made enough gold to provide food, shelter and ale for himself, and the gladiatorial profession was by no means worse than the years of fighting and struggling Dace had spent amongst his own ferocious kind. It was at that point that an unfortunate Thavian nobleborn lad decided to fight with Dace to win the favor of a local merchant's daughter. He was still young and in the beginning of his career as a Wizard, and that is why he bribed the arena master to ensure that Dace threw the fight.The Minotaur refused at first, valuing his pride more than the few silver pieces he would have gotten as compensation, but when the arena master threatened him with maiming and removal from the arena, Dace had little choice. He faced the young Wizard and did his best to lose the fight, even throwing himself prone after the lad cast an incantation that was obviously useless against one such as he.The boy took things too far however, as he attempted to step on Dace's snout and yank out the brass ring that ran trough his nostrils. That brought bitter memories to the Minotaur and rage quickly blinded his reason. In an instant, he sprung up and grabbed the surprised Thavian by the throat. Before the guards could rush in and dislodge the human from Dace's fierce grasp, he had already squeezed the life out of the human, reducing his throat to bloody goo.Needless to say the young Wizard's parents were furious with Dace and the arena master. The latter, however, had enough money to compensate for the blunder and had even paid for the boy's revival by a high ranking cleric.Dace, however, was not as fortunate. He was almost beaten to death by the arena guards, and then thrown in prison to await his execution. The Minotaur is furious with the humans and Thay's ruling class in particular, and wants nothing more than to break out and rip apart the arena master who betrayed him, and the young noble lad if he was indeed resurrected, because he tried to mock the Minotaur warrior. Despite his rage, Dace is not of malicious nature, and desires freedom and revenge, not mindless slaughter.</blockquote>
