Background
The Storm Titans are a specialised unit of very tall elite soldiers famed for their use of electromechanikal weaponry. Torgul joined the military at a young age and showed the right qualities (tremendous height, strength, and the judiciousness to use it well) to be permitted to audition to join their ranks, where he excelled. The Titans have been part of many of the sallies made from time to time to scout the surface world. Torgul has fought on the surface, and brought back a shattered sword taken from a walking corpse he destroyed. Many of his unit were slain in that excursion, and when Torgul returned he took an extended leave of absence that seemed to stretch indefinitely. He eventually began to take work as a mercenary, embarking on forays to counter the occasional things that bubbled up from the depths or to travel dangerous lands offering protection for those searching for something, above or below.
Person
Despite his terrifying stature - especially in wargear - Torgul is quite a mild personality, conscious of his power and his role as an elite protector of the people and prosecutor of their enemies. He is careful that his size and strength do not cause chaos, and is willing to put them to use to help others even when he is not on the battlefield. Many have tried to persuade him to compete against steamjacks in industrial trials. Where he is firm is in the defence of others, especially his friends; and in his insistence that working together is the best way to do things. In battle, he acts quickly and decisively, playing to his strengths.
