Zio

Zio (a.k.a. The Dragon at the Gate)

Zio is the son of an Orc warrior who raped a magma dragon in a display of power, but met his end shortly after upon her claws. Zio's mother was slain a few weeks later by a group of mercenaries who were hired to remove a problem dragon in the area. His mentor Grut Kolten'vosk raised him in the mercenary band. When he was old enough to fight he proved himself a valuable member of the band. During a siege one day they where at the last rope and needed to break the siege or the job would be unfinished. Zio took a sledge wading through a flurry of arrows and cracked the mighty gate allowing his fellows to flood the keep. Zio has been at the site of many battlefields and served as guard to many nobles earning a fair reputation. He set out to make his own mercenary band after the Gynthar's Knights disbanded two years ago. Zio knows no life but that of the mercenary and it is one that he loves dearly.
