Kelby Brock Loring
High Concept: Altruistic Generalwachtmeister of the Wachhunde
Trouble: Crisis of Faith During the battle against the southern provinces in the war of the Cross, Loring - a devout Vatacine and Oberst of a regiment - fought a losing struggle against a far superior Objectionist force. In the midst of the clash, Loring squared off with the enemy leader in a mortal duel which lasted well over an hour. The duel left him with a disfigured face, and the enemy impaled on his broken spear. When Loring removed his foe's helmet to gaze upon the man who almost bested him, he made a startling discovery. The man was his brother, four years his junior, whom he had last seen when they were mere boys. That day Loring walked off the field and into the woods, and never fought again in the War of the Cross. What had once seemed so clear-cut was now blurred and fleeting to Loring. His faith in the cause had been shattered with his brother's death, and he found himself spiritually adrift No longer willing to continue the fight, he removed all accouterments of his rank and station and fled to Freiberg. Once there, he survived day by day while trying to make sense of his life. He found it when he happened upon a gang of thugs beating a female refugee for her meager possessions. Watching her struggle, he realized that he had wasted his life fighting his fellow countrymen, killing them over an abstract idea when they all should have been defending their country against outsiders. He fought the men who had robbed the female refugee, retrieved her belongings, and returned them to her, much to her surprise. At that moment he decided that he would spend the rest of his life defending the defenseless in this horrible war-torn city. Others joined him, and he grew to lead the most powerful gang in the city, one devoted to the protection of Freiberg. When Selina Graf von Hoff swore the Wachhunde to Trage, and began to grow its ranks, she sought out Loring. She absorbed his gang into the Trage's Iron Guard, and she made Loring her second in command. They work together now, to defend Freiberg from threats from both outside and within the city. Loring is a powerful and confident man with little tolerance for bullies. He has close-cropped hair, a very short beard, and a vicious scar on his cheek. Though attractive, he has a deadly and serious look about him. He carries no weapons, preferring his twin panzerhands, and wears the slashed clothing of a mercenary.
