Dhori Whitefang
Dhori Whitefang, called the Wrath of the Forest, is a wood elven member of the Warmongers and part of The Action Company. He is a hero of Vansreik, having done many heroic deeds to save the city from goblinoid raids, and the Church of Vansreik has blessed him for his part in keeping the city out of goblinoid hands.1
Origins
Dhori comes from an anti-D’afat k’re of wood elves in the Western Provinces. Before taking up adventuring he was a freedom fighter who raided against the Empire.2
Revenge
After his k’re was attacked and massacred by a noble family of Vansreik, Dhori was given the task of killing the noble and avenging his people. Knowing he could not do it alone, and that he needed powerful allies and magic items, he joined the Warmongers in search of them and became one of the founding members of the Action Company.2
Alveir Greenblade
When the young Alveir Greenblade came to meet him, Dhori turned him away because he came from a k’re that supports the D’afat. Alveir now hopes to win success and a name in Vansreik so that he can prove himself to Dhori.3
In battle
Dhori practises the Whistle, a sacred fighting style developed by the wood elves. A skilled swordsman, he uses hit-and-run tactics to great effect and wields a double-bladed scimitar, a weapon that takes long training to master. He prefers ambushes and stealthy approaches, and he goes after the strongest melee opponents, holding up their advance to thin the enemy line and keep it from reaching those behind him. He works only with the Action Company.2
