Brogmir
The Chained Minotaur
Always a mighty warrior with a fearsome reputation, Brogmir seeks revenge against those who captured him. He was enslaved and forced into the life of a gladiator, his unbreakable will was what kept him from truly becoming a beast. Now, free of the chains of his former masters, he fights the oppressor and any who dare to diminish his power, his rage as much a weapon as his horns, hooves and fists.
Brogmir, with 15 other mighty warriors from the minotaur clan, went on a rampage to the west, soon reaching Siniadòr and ending up in Tana's Empire. Wanted criminal, it took a bloody battle to stop the minotaurs, Brogmir crushing his enemies skull with his bare hands—but soon enough, he and his surviving warriors found themselves bound in chains, headed for the distant empire capital.
These unfortunate minotaurs found themselves cast into the Colosseum of Holypertuis, as gladiators.
It took only 21 days, to turn what was already a furious minotaur, into a beast-like murderer. Brogmir was driven to fight like a beast—and think like one. He killed and killed until even his memories of home became stained with blood.
Brogmir had fallen far by the time he met Ayelia, a servant girl in the arenas. At first, he bellowed and charged the bars of his cage, expecting her to fear or goad him like the others, but Ayelia did neither.
She returned every day and spoke to him with gentle respect until eventually, Brogmir answered in kind. Seeing his suffering had convinced her they should leave this hateful city together. She whispered her plans through the bars, and for the first time in years, Brogmir found he could think of home without dwelling on the way it had been taken from him.
One night, Ayelia brought Brogmir the key to his cell. She had sacrificed much to arrange this escape, and he swore he would repay her tenfold.
They hurried to the river, where a cargo barge awaited them. However, as they boarded, Guards burst from the shadows. Brogmir hurled himself into battle, his vision tunneled with rage, and although Ayelia called out to him again and again, he did not hear.
By the time Brogmir had slain their attackers, the boat was gone—and Ayelia with it—so he fled south on foot instead. He searched everywhere for the servant girl but found nothing. Had she been captured? Killed? It seemed there were no clues left to find.
Brogmir now travels alone, as quietly and anonymously as he can, fighting on behalf of the downtrodden and the abused.
And in every city he passes through, he asks after Ayelia.
Characteristics
Physical features
The creature towers over you, nearly seven feet tall and as wide as a doorframe. With the head and hooves of a bull and the muscular frame of a giant, the minotaur hefts a massive waraxe that crackles with electricity, sparking as it swings. Clothed only in a loincloth, the minotaur fashions their hair and beard after those of a dwarf. Though the numerous scars lining his limbs and torso speak to a background of violence, you immediately sense a kindness in the creature’s eyes.History
