Broxx Bearbane

Broxx grew up poor in a large family of dwarves in the Bottom Layer of Girdev which is the poorest area of the city. Not dirt poor, not street poor, just soup and water/holes in the shoes/hand-me-down poor. He saw his family slowly fall apart over the years he grew up. He was the second oldest of his 8 brothers and sisters and he was old enough to know the hardship his parents had providing for them all.

Gar (the oldest sibling) left home as soon as he turned 14 and began sending money back for the family. Broxx worked his hands carving wooden totems and trinkets to sell to the tourist children in the better parts of town to try and put some food on the table. They were well for a time, until his father died to a mugger down the street from the house. His mother got sick and the only income they had was what Gar and Broxx could scrounge up. Eventually Broxx went to work for a local gang as muscle in order to better the money situation and soon after Gar stopped sending coin to the family.

Eventually Broxx pissed off the wrong person and the rival gang set his families house on fire. There were bodies found burnt to a crisp in the remains but Broxx could never bring himself to see them. He then vowed to do what was right from then on, to protect those who could not protect themselves. He went to the city guard and confessed to all wrong doing on the part of himself his gang and the rival gang. He helped them root out the offenders and became a respected member of their ranks over the long years of his service.

Its not common for an informant to be trusted after turning on his crew but after over 60 years of service they gave him a promotion and put him in charge of a squad.

One day while patrolling the surrounding country side his squad ran into a large Arcane Construct. He had no idea how a creature so powerful had gotten so close to the city or who could have summoned it, but it decimated the squad. Seven of the patrol died but Broxx managed to get three men out. Sigzil (Human Wizard) Teft (Human Fighter) and Lopin (Dwarf Cleric). Broxxs guilt for failing to protect those under his charge again broke him and he fled after returning the three survivors to Duthgar because he could not face the shame of failing them. He went to Bluelog because he could not abandon his vow to protect the defensless and continued to serve under another authority
