Ustinya Opokin

"Ustinya Opokin is a man of many talents, the biggest talent being that he can cleave a man in two with a single swing. I've seen him throw grown men around like rag dolls and move with a speed like a horse. Hes a physical monster and a quick wit. Smart man with money, smarter man with woman."

The Axe Cleave is a family heirloom passed down from his Great-Great Grandfather. Now he wields this weapon to help forge a path for both his Tribe and to aid the Torquoise company in the completion of their goals. Cleave is a one or two handed axe, with a large enchanted jagged blade with blood that has dried to the axe head itself. Leaving it a ghastly sight to any enemy on the field of battle.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Uystina started his life among his tribe, learning to fight, ride and hunt. He took his first mercenary work young, at seventeen he was known as an excellent bodyguard and protector. By twenty five he had been working with various trade companies and even as a contract Sellsword for bigger mercenary companies.   That all became very secondary after a run in with a Halfling Bard, Arwan. Arwan wanted personal protection and Ustinya was providing great protection at resonable prices. Not soon after, the two found themselves apart of the Torquoise Company. Where joined by Rivalon and Isaac they meet up with Le'Seshl El'Hab Vas'Sai Sha'Shi and after many weeks and several jobs together the group formed. Arwan was still paying Ustinya his mercenary wages up until they formed a company together.   During some downtime in a large Dwarven city, Rivalon and Ustinya decided to visit a bathhouse, where they ordered Elven cooking wine to drink instead of a normal beverage. The elf, Rivalon found himself rather sober compared to Ustinya who staggered around town, making short work of a kebab he bought along with standing outside of a Palourian church and trying to convince Rivalon of his drunken plan.

Education

Ustinya wasnt a formally educated man. He learned to read, write and speak various languages in order to do his mercenary work. Which helped the group as a whole a lot due to the varied nature of their travels. Though he still recalls the face of an elf when this large burly tribal man spoke near perfect Elvish.   Ustinya learned to track, hunt and gather at a young age due to his tribes needs and his own want to provide. His martial prowess forged in many training excercises and combat as a mercenary.
