Editing Brekhan (section)

==Character History==


In the city of Radezhka, which is situated in the remaining territory of the Kadazhem Empire beneath the Kalladian Mountains, Brekhan HéBrekhan was born one of the middle children to Brekhan HéAmerakh and Adazha HaMadi. His family was of modest standing, crafters and soldiers mostly, with few ever advancing beyond simple management (in short, very well to do peasants).

Brekhan like many other dwarven youths was comfortable with the axe and the shield before he was fifteen, and as he got older he learned to be deadly with the crossbow and was noted for his ability as a sniper and skirmisher. He fought in many campaigns against goblins, orcs, humans, and horrors of the deep world, winning honor for his family and distinguishing himself from his peers, particularly during Radezhka’s 18th crusade to retake the southern caverns near Dor-Imekeh. 

These outstanding actions brought attention from certain shadowy elements of the community, who brought Brekhan into the world of high dwarven politics. While he never truly held any considerable political power, he became a valuable tool both on the battlefield and in the back alleys, using multiple talents to accomplish his missions and advance his faction’s goals, murdering several powerful dwarven politicians do so. Brekhan was firm in his political beliefs and never questioned the orders given him, viewing his actions as the will of the dwarven ancestors. However, real or imagined, their blessings did not shelter him forever.

Twenty years into his political involvement, Brekhan made a mistake, or rather was outmaneuvered, and he was identified. Because of his connections, the penalty was not death even though the man murdered was above Brekhan’s station. Instead he was marked and cast out of his community, a fate that most devout dwarves considered little better than death. In accordance with tradition Brekhan’s name was stricken from local records, which to the dwarves meant that he didn’t exist and had in fact never been born. No one would acknowledge his existence and no dwarf within the mountains was to aid or do any sort of business with him. 

Disgraced, Brekhan left to find his fortunes elsewhere. He adventured for years, working both as a mercenary and as a bounty hunter for whoever could pay him. Over that time he made various acquaintances and a few friends throughout most of the continent and a few that were actually native to Asashiro, but the best acquisition was a young puppy that Brekhan rescued in Lacaeta from a group of drunken boys who were trying to drown her in a sack. Brekhan actually killed one of them and fled with the dog before he could be identified. He learned later that the dog was actually an awakened creature, from a strain of the legendary Freedland Mosslers that were highly utilized by certain barbarian tribes in the north, and she became one of his most valuable allies in battle, as he trained her well for combat and stealth.

Brekhan currently seeks his fortunes wherever he can, he’s long since surpassed the role of starving mercenary and now takes only jobs that interest him as well as pay a nominal fee. He’s become infamous throughout the continent and often uses his reputation to his advantage. He can never go home but he’s long since lost the desire to do so.
