These barbarians are always scarred in some way, and wander the land in order to accomplish great deeds.
Gorgu Stonesplitter: Once an ordinary dwarven warrior, Gorgu Stonesplitter was captured and enslaved by fire giants who shaved his beard, and burned and scarred his face. After years of toil in their mines, he gained his freedom when the giants’ king was overthrown by a group of adventurers. Gorgu threw his lot in with them in the hope of taking his revenge on the giants’ masters. While he learned much, killing could not restore his pride or his faith in his people, nor slake the rage in his heart. Since taking his leave from his companions, he has roamed the world in search of purpose. He fights now for the fun of it, and his temper has gradually cooled to dark embers. Still, he might join any nearby fray on any side. Should anyone land a blow he notices, he might begin to fight in earnest.
Combat Encounters: A glutton for battle, Gorgu fights for anyone or any cause that might offer a challenge.
Roleplaying Suggestions: Every so often, Gorgu seeks out powerful adventurers to lead him to an impossible foe—which he secretly plans to take down single-handedly.
