Zags Gash
Level: 3 / Warrior / Berserker
Description
Zags is still young for an orc, but he is already as large as an orc with another five years. Zags was brought to Freeport as a young child to serve as a slave doing hard labor unloading merchant ships. Extraordinarily strong, he managed to break free during the great hurricane six years ago and escape into the jungles of A'val. Zags managed to eke out a living for nearly a year before the Great Green Fire swept over the island. Zags was caught in the fire and badly burned over half of his body. Somehow he managed to claw his way to safety where he was found by the people of Freeport. Thanks in part to the aid of temple healers Zags recovered from his grievous wounds, though to this day his body is covered in scar tissue and deformations caused by the magical fire. Worse, the pain of these wounds drove the nearly feral orc partially insane. As a result Zags is now prone to berserker rages, and even at the best of times has a sullen and bloodthirsty demeanor.
It's been five years since the fire ravaged A'val, and since recovering from his wounds Zags has worked as a guide in the fair scarred inland of A'val, and occasionally hires his muscle out as a mercenary, though many companies find his bloodthirst too much of a liability. In the meantime Zags continues to look for a purpose to his life beyond simple subsistence.
