Drogo the Barber

A character in the Belstead PBP Burning Wheel game.

Background

Drogo's life so far has been short but brutal, much of that brutality committed by him. Conscripted while still little more than a boy, he had blood on his hands before he could shave. He's done horrible things, taken people for ransom or to be sold into slavery, and worse. Now he's trying to leave that life behind, trying to go straight.
