Erol of the Wilds

Character Biography

“You look like dinner to me.” -Erol

He is a Beastman (or Bestlia), a race of bipedal anthropomorphic species whom The Gods granted advanced evolution, allowing them to walk on their hind legs and higher intellect. Although, they are seen as second class citizens by the Eldar, Dwarves, and most ordinary folk as they are a bit primitive by nature. Many are still feared and recognized as top predators in the food chain.

Erol is headstrong, impulsive, and an overall destructive force of nature with a soft spot for Ruffus. He was born and raised in The Wilds, a location where all manner of monsters roam under no one’s jurisdiction. Erol’s tribe is known for its nomadic, war-hungry nature, worrying various other human-controlled settlements and trade routes near the area. After the tribe eradicated several human colonies tying to settle in The Wilds, the Arcadia Army set up multiple magical blockades, forcing the tribe to postpone their attacks and expansion.  To this day, the Sato Tribe controls a large portion of the land and are at a cease-fire with other species in the area.

Erol’s family consists of his father, the leader of the Sato Tribe, and thought to be one of the ancient Bestlia who still walks on four legs with knowledge of ancient shamanistic magic. His mother, a sand leopard bestlia who had to marry to save her tribe. As the twelve pup out of his sixteen siblings, he is treated as the weakest and forgotten member of the family for reasons that he will never divulge. Because of this, he has been exiled more than once from Sato, but he knows how to win his father’s favor and has his mother’s grace. He is underestimated in intellect since he speaks broken “common,” but in fact, he is a polyglot who speaks Orkish, Dwarven, and the bestlia language.

Now he works in the Warrior’s Guild, accompanying Ruffus on his daily shenanigans.
