Personal history

Guriil "Bearpaw", a man of his word and a man of his drink. His big heart and bear tattoo on his right shoulder show both his strength and his love for others. Born among the mountainous forests of The Winterwood, Guriil had numerous run ins with all kinds of people, from Dwarves to Giants. He spend the majority of his childhood with a Giant by the name of Bigtoe. He wasn't the brightest of children like Guriil. One day an invading raid of orcs tore through his tribe, killing not many and were easily fought off. However, not without it's price. His father Balthamar "Bearspine" the chief of the tribe was critically injured in the battle, taking a poisoned sword edge to the chest, bleeding and dying. That very day Grucurt "Bouldercrusher" took up the gauntlet against Guriil's father. With him being sick, he never stood a chance. His mother Meestra "Soothingwater" quickly led him out that night and they ran. Along the way the two were separated by his mother fighting off a group of mercenaries looking for a fight. He ran. Now amongst more unfamiliar faces, he keeps moving, never really staying anywhere for long. He looks for work where he can as muscle. No direction really in sight.
