Asterion Orcstriker
Before the Godsrain, Asterion was a mighty bull, leader of a small herd. His life was simple: graze, protect his herd, and spar with other bulls. But the Godsrain changed everything. The divine energy coursed through him, transforming his bovine form into that of a minotaur. His newfound strength and intelligence were a blessing, but it also awakened a deep-seated rage.
In his new form, Asterion learned the horrors that had befallen his kind before the Godsrain. Orcs, who he once thought of kind protectors, were truly savage and would eat his kind when they grew too old or weak. The realization of his lost comrads, consumed by these monstrous creatures, fuels his unwavering hatred.
Now he rules the Orcstriker Herd and hunts the orcs for his own campfires.
