Players/Jormek Dudz

Class
Cleric, Domain of War

Background
Jormek was born and grew up in a middle class family in Westgate, he lived free of worries until he was about 14 years old, but at that point his life took a turn for the worst.

He destroyed someone's life during an accident on the docks, where a crane Jormek was operating  dropped a crate of dragon scales onto a worker; crushing the worker’s legs.

How could the rope have snapped? He was sure that he had checked the rigging thoroughly that day.

A court of the local elders determined exile was the only option for his tragic and lazy mistake.

Making his way to Suzail, he lived rough for almost 4 years, before he joined the military for some reprieve from the cold and hunger.

Once wiry and lean, a life of drills and raids on goblin camps saw him become more neck than man, more like a tree than a sapling.

Having defended himself in alleyways with a cudgel for years, he showed some talent with a mace, but due to a lack of ambition for power, never rose through the ranks.

Almost two decades later and he found himself living his purpose, fighting alongside his brothers in the Great Cormyrian War. In blood he found purpose, like many of his kin he often prayed to Balthazar… his prayers often seemed just enough to keep him alive.

Hearing of a group of captured soldiers in a fortified location in Knightswood, his Lieutenant led their party on a desperate assault.

In a desperate moment that may have been his last, his mind turned to Balthazar… and his prayers were finally answered. Divine Lightning leapt from has empty hands, and the tide was turned. His Lieutenant was slain, but the imprisoned soldiers rescued. Among the rescued soldiers his found Robb Odo, Robb found more than one opportunity to repay Jormek’s favour before the war was through.
