Kehlkagt Stonevictor

Battle-Ready Dwarven Cleric Played by Jorge Jaramillo

Description
Kehlkagt generally wears a smile underneath his great red beard. A lover of battle, he feels as natural in his armor as he does in his own skin.

Personality
Kehlkagt is an easy going dwarf. He's of lover of good meat, good ale, good stories, good battle, and, more recently, good cheese and wine. He loves hearing and telling tall tales, especially those involving himself. Kehlkagt often gets restless and annoyed if forced to stand still for longer than he likes to.

He's a simple dwarf with nothing to hide. He has no regrets from his past, and just wants to keep pushing forward. He often jokes and refers to himself as the "True Wandering Guardian."

Many of the people that Kelhkagt meets are surprised when they learn that he is a Cleric. His rough demeanor, his love of battle, among several other of his characteristics often cause people to believe that he is not a man of the cloth. However, Kelhkagt, is a devoted Cleric of Haela Brightaxe. He prefers to pray in private; and, instead of giving boring preaches, he believes that he should spread the good word by example.

Family & Relationships

 * Mother: Norala Stonevictor, deceased
 * Father: Kromgraaf Stonevictor, current condition is unknown to Kehlkagt, but as of 1357 he is a healthy and active Hammer of Moradin.

Early Years
Kehlkagt comes from a small family in the Adbar Citadel. His mother Norala, died when Kehlkagt was very young. His father, Kromgaaf Stonevictor, was a well respected Hammer of Moradin, and, for the most part, single handedly raised his son. Kromgaaf was an extremely devout follower of Moradin and pushed his son to follow in his footsteps. However, as a very active warrior, Kehlkagt's father wasn't around very much, and Kehlkagt grew to be very rowdy and unruly, even for a dwarf, and was largely a disappointment in the eyes of his father. Not only was he far too unruly for a "civilized" dwarf, but he seemed to reject the example his father tried to set for him. He would not worship Moradin, in fact, while he lived in the Adbar Citadel, Kehlkagt would not worship any in the Dwarven Pantheon.

In the year 1356 the Mithral Hall was reclaimed. Kehlkagt really wanted to participate in the liberating of his people's ancestral home, but his father believed him to be too undisciplined and ill-prepared for the monumental battle. This decision from his father would cause Kehlkagt to leave the Adbar Citadel and venture out on his own.

For the first few years after setting off from the Adbar Citadel Kehlkagt was completely without direction or purpose. He traveled from town to town all over the Silver Marches. For a while he settled down with a mercenary camp known as the Bear's Den. He'd take odd jobs, nothing particularly challenging. It was an easy life, and for many it would have been sufficient.

The Battle of Two Forks: A Purpose is Born
During his time with the Bear's Den, Kehlkagt became an accomplished warrior and rose up in the ranks of the mercenary group. One day while setting out for a job, Kehlkagt noticed smoke in the distance. A small village known as Two Forks was under attack. While some many of the mercenaries under his leadership weren't willing to risk their lives for no profit, those that did come with Kehlkagt managed to drive away a small group of orcs.

After driving the orcs away, Kehlkagt learned that Two Forks was still not safe because the orcs were sure to return with greater numbers. It was then and there that he befriended an odd wizard by the name of Mozariq al'Soleth. Together, they managed to protect Two Forks from the orcish onslaught. For their trouble, Kelhkagt received an ornamental fork. To this day, whenever Kehlkagt retells the story of the Battle of Two Forks, he shows off his fork and mentions how he fought won the battle with just that fork. While the fork and tale were great rewards he slaying of the wicked and defending of the innocent sparked a small fire deep within Kehlkagt's soul. He now knew that he wanted to vanquish the evil and to protect the good. Kehlkagt left the Bear's Den Mercenary Camp on good terms. He departed the Silver Marches and set off on a new adventure.
