Bio:
My name? I do not have a name. It was lost this night
My people were a peaceful tribe living in the mountains. We abhorred violence, but we understood its necessity. That is why I was chosen to carry the wrath of the tribe. When I was old enough, I went with the other children of my tribe to stand before the shaman. I remember it now. A dark night, we sat around the fire and drank what she gave us. We went before Krom, and we were tested. When it was done, he chose me. And I became the wrath of my people. I was given this axe. I would be their protector. So my people would not need to commit the Gravest Sin, I carried this axe.
What is the Gravest Sin? It is murder. Why do you not know this? Why do your people and your gods not teach you this?
This is who i am. I carry this axe so no other in my tribe needs to.
But I failed them. A horde of southlander ran through my village with Dark magic, killing them all. They left me alive. They thought it was a game. They were all dead and their protector is still alive. And that is how they left me: with my axe and my tribe bleeding in the snow.
When I am very quiet, at night, I can see them. Trapped in this world, unable to pass into the next, for their spirits are unavenged. They sing to me. They do not sing me songs of shame, for they are too kind for that. They sing me songs of strength, so that I may carry on. To let me know that I do not carry this shame alone. They are still with me. And when I am weak, they carry me. When I weep, they laugh. When I doubt, they remind me of what I am.
That is why I travel the world. Not for riches. Not for women. All these things are a means to an end.
I hunt those who murdered my people for sport. And when I find them, I will kill them. Because I am Cormac. The wrath of my people.
And they will be avenged.
