Appearance
A towering dragonborn with matte black scales that resemble hammered iron. His horns are swept back and scarred from years of wearing an infantry helmet. He wears practical, dark gray chain mail over boiled leather, and his halberd is kept in meticulous condition. A faint scent of marsh water and ozone clings to him.
Mannerisms
He tends to stand at parade rest when waiting and gives a short, sharp nod instead of saying yes.
Personality
Korth is a man of few words and decisive actions. He views life through the lens of a tactical map, constantly evaluating exits and cover. He is disciplined and expects the same from others, yet he possesses a hidden protective streak for those he considers part of his unit.
Ideals
Responsibility. I do what I must and obey just authority, but I no longer follow leaders who treat lives like copper pieces.
Bonds
My surviving squad mates are the only family I have left, I will always find work for them if they need it.
Flaws
I have little patience for those who do not follow orders or lack martial discipline.
Quirks
Background
Conscripted at a young age into the Black Marsh Infantry, Korth knew only the rhythmic tread of boots and the weight of a polearm for most of his life. He was a natural soldier, climbing from a muddy grunt to a respected Sergeant through grit and an uncompromising adherence to the chain of command. His specialty was holding swampy chokepoints, where his acid breath could decimate rows of attackers in the narrow confines of the fens. He eventually earned the right to lead his own unit, the Iron Boggers, but his military career ended in blood and betrayal. During a chaotic skirmish at Raven's Watch, his superiors denied him the promised reinforcements, leaving his unit to be slaughtered. Korth and a handful of survivors barely escaped the carnage, wounded in both body and spirit. Disillusioned with the brass, Korth tore the insignias from his shoulders and took his halberd elsewhere. He realized that loyalty to a flag was a fool's errand, but loyalty to one's comrades was worth its weight in gold. He now sells his steel to the highest bidder, though he still carries the tactical mindset of a commander and the heavy heart of a leader who lost too many brothers.
