Personal history
The farthest back anyone can trace back Kluk's origin story is back to when Kluk, as a baby, was discovered in the heart of a destructive battlefield of unknown past. Kluk's adoptive halfling parents (names publicly unknown) took him in and raised him in their rather small home in a grassland adjacent to Mielikki's Playground. Kluk was a great help to the family, being broadly stronger than both of his parents combined from the moment they found him. Kluk also had the tendency of wandering off into the neighboring town of Cambeth.
Kluk's parents had an increasingly more difficult time keeping track of him, so eventually, the more time Kluk spent in Cambeth, the more the Underground began to notice him. Ultimately, the Underground took Kluk in as a "trainee" of sorts, and Kluk was far too oblivious to realize that might actually constitute a kidnapping. Kluk was recruited at age 12 in 541 AP.
Between training missions, Kluk would sometimes make his way back to his parents' home, which the Protectors would just attribute to his obliviousness. Kluk would also make great friends with another Protector, Criella Hope, who was 18 at the time (541). Kluk and Criella would become good friends, which was very strange for both of them. Nobody had enough time or patience to be friends with Kluk, and Criella didn't have time or patience to be friends with anyone.
Kluk ran with the elite group of nine Protectors, but sadly had to deal with the weight of Criella Hope's death. Rarely could Kluk connect with another person with his brainpower and overall intelligence, so Kluk was heartbroken. In the final battle against the Magician, his brute force was powerful enough to break the forces of the Magician's magic. The only power known to be able to do this was the raw power of the gods, and Helm (Thundercat Bojangles's god) revealed to Bojangles that Kluk was actually the son of Tempus, the god of war.
After saving the world, Kluk continued to work as a Protector, being the main muscle of the group while Aleesia Nailo and Althaea and Ivellius Ilphelkiir worked in more executive roles. Kluk's main role in the Protectors was the most efficient, but destructive, official member of the Protectors. Somehow, Kluk's already inhalf-orc strength continued to build over the years, and he showed no signs of aging (other than a newly grown beard).
Kluk also took part in a top secret Protectors mission known as Operation: Otherworlds in 568.
Kluk is extremely loyal to the Protectors, a loved figure to his allies and a feared one to his opponents.
Education
Kluk has had barely any education. What material Kluk's adoptive parents tried to teach him was hopeless in light of Kluk's mind. Even then, Kluk needed little training as a Protector because of his innate warlike abilities.
Employment
Kluk's first and only job has been as a member of the Protectors.
Intellectual Characteristics
Kluk is perhaps the least intelligent member of the Protectors, but that in no way keeps him from being a deadly force on the battlefield.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Kluk is driven by his loyalty to the Protectors and his friends within them.
Relationships
Wealth & Financial state
Kluk has no concept of money, and is just given his needed materials, food, and a place to live in Protectors bases.
