Brahnamins Characters - Trick

Michael Kilpatrick :: Trick

Long before the druids walked the isle, their spiritual ancestors built their rings of stone. They carved my likeness from that same stone. And then they buried me, a shadow in the darkness of the earth. A mute guardian in the heart of their sacred circle.

In their darkest dreams I'll bet they never conceived that the focus of that circle and its sacrifices of blood would, over time, instill life in their forgotten guardian. Or that the circle would ever weaken enough that that life could break free.

It would seem I have the Rikti to thank for that, but it turns out I'm an ungrateful bastard. Human hands made me. Human blood gave me life. I am bound to the tribes of man in so many ways. I have little choice but to stand with them. And little inclination to do otherwise, truth be told.

For good or ill, they are my people.

Affiliations

Trick does pretty well on his own, is at his most awkward when paired with another individual, and truly shines as a single moving part in the intricate interplay of a team.
