Gregor the Brute
Gregor the Brute is a half-orc hunter of the Warmongers, born on the outskirts of Vansreik. He knows the wilderness around the city like the palm of his hand.1
The Hunter's Guild
Gregor began his adventuring career as a hunter and joined the Hunter's Guild. Within a few years he had become a famous hunter, usually hired to hunt the monstrosities hiding in the swamps around the city. After a decade, however, the guild's structure and politics began to annoy him. He tried hard to climb its ranks, but the organisation favoured the promotion of its human members over minorities, and faced with this policy Gregor left it to join the Warmongers. He does not work with members of the Hunter's Guild.1
With the Warmongers
Gregor's arrival brought many hunting missions to the Warmongers. His successes as a hunter were well known in Vansreik, and he was given the task of briefing the hunting missions and choosing which mercenaries go on them. He has no interest in work that takes him away from the surroundings he has mastered: although the Warmongers are well known for their success in the Deep Pit, he never joins the guild's Deep Pit missions, preferring to rely on his knowledge of the land and creatures of the Western Provinces.1
Fighting style
Gregor fights in a manner reminiscent of a bear, relying on his natural strength. He fights with a great axe and uses nature magic to sharpen his fighting. A skilled trapper, he always looks for a chance to snare his prey before a fight begins. Once battle is joined he goes first for the weakest of the enemy, driving into their back line, and although he prefers close quarters he will throw javelins when the situation calls for it. He favours forest expeditions and monster hunts.1
