Towering brute, likes to be the meanest in where ever he's at.

Big strong right arm for those with zero morals and an interest in expediency over ethics. These hulking, moderately armoured professional commands a presence when it comes to violence. Armed with iron spikes and hammer they leave a trail of carnage on their way to thier objective.

They work for gold and the chance to maim and torment those weaker than themselves. They have zero issues in harming innocents or threatening to harm them for leverage. They need a strong leader in charge of them, or they can get carried away with causing mayhem.
