Verg the Bronzehand

Verg, called the Bronzehand, was a Hobgoblin Artificier that was among the first to explore the frontiers of Eskarya.

Background
Verg was born into a world of order, a regimented life designed for the optimisation of conquest and war. Son of a Fatal Axe, a high-ranking member of the Thrice Lost Legion of Warlord Zolzun, much was expected of Verg from the moment he could place one foot before the other and retain his balance.

As soon as he could indeed walk, a blade was thrust into his hand.

The formative moment in Verg's life would come while the Thrice Lost Legion were making camp in the foothills of a contested valley far to the south of his Warlord's keep. During the night, drow raiders would slink into the camp, moving through the more disorganised ranks kept by the goblins used as scouts. By the time that the drow had been sent into flight much of the camp had been slain - either by blade or poison.

Verg was meant to be on watch, but had fallen asleep at his post.

Slinking away in shame, he imposed exile upon himself - hoping that the Legion would assume him dead. Quickly growing tired of constantly looking over his shoulder, he crafted a companion for himself, and now finds himself seeking retribution.
