Message: <blockquote data-quote="njorgard" data-source="post: 912867" data-attributes="member: 919">Segnarus MankThis is the background of the thief-catcher known as Segnarus Mank as written by Miguel Sosa (who plays Segnarus in the "Age of Blood" campaign.-Njorgard------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Segnarus MankSegnarus was a junior investigator in the Tromos town guard. While in the middle of a murder investigation, he followed the prime suspect south. A dangerous man called Marcus Alstat. He finally found Alstat who had joined the Hintai army in the deep south, fighting against Kundria. There, Segnarus confronted Alstat in front of his superior officers. When the evidence was presented, the officers arrested the suspect right then and took him away. Segnarus never found out what happened to Alstat, but he assumes that he was executed for his heinous crime.The officers of the army strongly suggested (i. e. he was forced) that Segnarus had to enlist, saying that he had cost them a soldier, so it was his duty to his country to replace him. In truth, they saw a great opportunity to get his abilities and experience. Segnarus was used as an advanced scout and military police.Segnarus is very law abiding. He feels it is always his duty to uphold the law and will do whatever possible to bring a criminal to justice. He is not overly concerned with wrong or right, good or evil; He just wants to do his job. He is patient and is driven by wanting to set things “right”.Although not particularly religious, he does pray to Gamenot for wisdom and help to be fair in judgment. His strong points are his patience, quickness and almost unmatched skill with the short swords. His undoing may be his single mindedness to the point of carelessness when attempting to right some wrong.There's nothing that he enjoys more than a man hunt. The thrill and challenge get him in a permanent high, and his moods improve. He dislikes animal hunting though, unless it is against a clever and dangerous beast that is capable of defending itself.  He is idealistic about the Hintai Empire. He feels that it is it's duty to help civilize the rest of the world, especially as far as law and morals.He has a greater than usual dislike against barbaric humanoids, and this can sometimes show through as a prejudice against half-humanoids such as half-orcs, half-ogres and such. It takes him particular effort to dismiss his initial prejudice against them.  His father and mother are both peasants/farmers in Tromos. He has five brothers, two older and three younger. The firstborn, Gevron,  is a member of the Hintai Army; The second eldest, Kendricks, helps his family in the farm. Kendricks resents Gevron and Segnarus. He feels that they too should be helping the family instead of running into what he calls are silly adventures. Of the younger three brothers, two (Pau and Jon) are still children, and the third (Klin) disappeared a couple of years ago. Segnarus went after Klin but could find no trace of him. The family believes that Klin had gone join the army, following the footsteps of Gevron, but they have no news of him which is worries them. Segnarus learned many lessons during his man hunt for his brother and he is heartbroken that he could not find Klin. He sometimes refers to Klin as the one who got away.A sixth brother, Yamakur, was killed fighting in the Kundrian wars. He was the second born.His father, Gevron  Mank,  is proud of Segnarus, and he was very happy that he actually decided to stay in Tromos rather than join the war effort. He still has not heard the news that Segnarus was drafted by the army in the last expedition. He still believes that Segnarus is in a very long man hunt since in the past some hunts have gone on for many months.His mother, Yessenia, is a little more critical of Segnarus. Like Kendriks, she too resents that Segnarus is not helping with the family farm. She also is very bitter at the loss of Klin, and Segnarus' inability to find him is another brick in the wall that separates them. Kendricks, of course, is Yessenia's favorite. Segnarus was a member of the Tromos town guard, and now is a member of the militia. He looks forward to the day when he will go back to Tromos to see his father and friends.He sometimes dreams about finding Klin and having the hole family reunited. Whenever he has time he spends some of it looking for clues of his missing brother. He has sworn not to rest until he finds out his brother's final whereabouts.</blockquote>
