Dark Sun: The Scorched World of Athas
Morg (deceased)
Mul Thunderborn Barbarian
Description:
Morg is a Mul, which is a half-dwarf – a race that combines the adaptability of humans with the toughness of dwarves. Most are born into slavery. Rippling with muscle and with hairless skin toughened by the months spent wandering the Ivory Triangle, Morg bears the cruel scars of his oppressive former life all across his back, chest, and face. He wears an eye-patch over his left eye, having lost it during battle. He keeps the Axe of Rkard in a special harness across his back when not in use and a stone handaxe rests at his hip. He has had a suit of armor fashioned from the hide of a tembo and wears it with pride.
Bio:
Born into a life of servitude int he forest city of Gulg, Morg toiled as a laborer until he was sold to a cruel merchant who also had a weakness for gambling on gladiatorial matches. Impressed with his physical prowess and bored with constantly beating him for imagined shortcomings, she had Morg trained as a gladiator to fight in the local arenas. Little did she know that training him for battle would spell her demise. One night, after watching her beat servant after servant, Morg took matters into his own hands and he cut his merchant-master’s throat while she slept. Fleeing the certain reprisal for his actions, he made his way into the Ringing Mountains, where he encountered other vagabonds living in exile from civilization.
