Baragrim Winterson (character of cag)

Postby Mr_Praetorian » Sun Dec 22, 2013 6:33 pm




Born far in the Northern reaches of Golarion, neither Baragrim, nor his adoptive father, Garadim, know his true parents or origin. What he knows is that late in the winter of [Year], Garadim Harakon, retired mercenary was making his way through Taldor, with plans to retire somewhere much warmer. When a freak blizzard blew up around him, Garadim soon found himself in possession of a crying dwarven infant, with no explanation of the child has ended arrived. What he did know, is that the infant was wrapped in a cloak bearing the symbol of Angradd, the Forge-Fire. Taking this as a sign, Garadim collected the infant, and headed for the nearest town intent to pray for guidance.

No guidance came, but the nearby town of Heldren was eager for help with their current bandit problems. Garadim was a skilled warrior, and quickly found work training the town guard to be an efficient fighting force. By the time Baragrim was 10, the bandits had been run off by the surprisingly well-coordinated town guard. Deciding he had found a safe spot to raise his “son”, and easy job keep him busy, Garadim decided to settle into Heldren.

Baragrim’s childhood was intense, to say the least. When his adoptive father wasn’t tutoring him on the scripture of Torag and Angradd, he was drilling his young son relentlessly on everything from single combat, to winter survival, to anti-giant tactics. It occurred to Baragrim early on that his father was clearly preparing him for something, and whatever it was, it disturbed the old dwarf greatly. Baragrim began to notice that during fierce winter storms, his father would never sleep. Instead, he would peer out into the snow, his weapon, and a tankard of ale, always close by. Virtually all dwarves drink, but Garadim may be one of the few have an actual drinking problem. As Baragrim reached late adolescence, his father’s drinking skyrocketed, to the point he was selling hard-won items from up north, just to keep his habit alive.

By the time Baragrim hit adulthood, he essentially lived in the town militia building. Working in its smithy by day to pay his keep. His father, due to massive gambling debt (wrought by drinking with the wrong merchant) had forced him to sell the house he raised Baragrim in, and move to what could better be described as a shack on the edge of town. Years of drinking, night-terrors, and paranoia have reduced the old dwarf from a local hero, to the town drunk, and Baragrim is running out of reasons to stay in Heldren.
