Torgga trained as a soldier on the island of Mintarn and joined a mercenary company. She traveled to the city of Neverwinter with her company to serve in both the army and city watch. Over time, Torgga grew disillusioned with many of her fellow soldiers. They seemed to enjoy their authority at the expense of the people they’re supposed to protect.

Recently she's had dreams of a shadow creeping across the sea like a shroud, swallowing an island in darkness. Though she dismissed the dreams at first, Torgga began to hear a voice calling her to stand against death’s endless hunger. Certain of her deity’s wishes, she resigned her post and set out on her quest.
