Character: Meragrin
Account: MoveOnUp_Meragrin was the third son of a halfling couple living on a farmstead not far away from Bildoobaris. His parents were physically weak, even scrawny. It was no surprise that all their children were weak aswell.
One day a group of marauding Gnolls attacked the farm, ransacked it and killed both Meragrin's parents and his siblings. Meragrin had hidden himself in the barn. One of the gnolls broke the door to the barn, where Meragrin was hiding and laughed hideously just like gnolls do. The gnoll raised his scimitar, ready to end the young halfling's life. Seemingly out of nowhere three shuriken flew trough the air and hit the gnoll's body. It groaned and turned to look at the direction where the shuriken came from. Before the gnoll had time to fully realize what had happened a roundhouse kick which connected with the gnolls face killed him.
Meragrin was, as unlikely as it may be, saved by a wandering banite monk. The monk picked Meragrin up and left the burning farmstead and the howling gnolls behind. The monk was a silver-tongued one and soon convinced Meragrin that perfecting your body, learning martial arts and devoting your existance to worship of Bane were all very good ideas.
Meragrin, or Merry, as everyone had called him travelled the land with the banite monk, learning religion, martial arts and principles of tyranny. They spent many tendays travelling the roads of Narfell, preaching the word of Bane to people and beating up or killing those who refused to respect and fear the Lord of Darkness.
One day during their travels a troupé of 5 Tormtar encountered the monk and his pupil .. one of the clerics recognized the travelling banite monk as a travelling banite monk. Being Tormtar they couldn't just walk past a Banite so they drew their swords and gave Merry and his master two choices, death or imprisonment. Overconfident in his abilities the monk quickly attacked the clerics .. the fight was quickly over, one of the tormtar died, one had a broken arm and several other had bruises but the monk was hacked into pieces by their greatswords. While the battle was raging Merry had bolted. He hid in some bushes a few hundred yards away from the battle. The Tormtars took the dead monk and their dead comrade with them and continued their way down the road.
Meragrin was lost, his family was dead, the monk whom he had studied under and travelled with for a few tendays had also died. Atleast he had a couple of goldpieces he and his master had taken from an infidel they had beaten up a tenday earlier. He travelled aimlessly for a few days and soon ended up near city of Peltarch, where he took up temporary residence and started his search for a local group of banites he could possibly join._
