Personal history

Knuckle Crush comes from a tribe of Minotaurs front he central region of Ventenheim.  A dying race they frequently clash with the Tabaxi kingdoms that hold most of the power in Ventenheim.  He has a resentment of any Tabaxi and elves and half-elves.  He was exiled from the continent after a battle with a group of tabaxi royals.  His small band of terrorists was called the Cloven Clan.  They were defeated in 2982 when Knuckle was still just 20 years old.  He fled the continent and found work amongst the Marid's Bones until just a few months ago.  The bloodthirst and rage had begun to subside and he began looking for a new path.
