Berenike Death-Seeker

Name Berenike Nationality Corinthia Occupation Mercenary Status Living

Background

• Average son of an average Corinthian citizen, born and raised for war
• Myrmidon in the host of a legendary warrior
• Epic battle where all the other brothers-at-arms were gloriously killed
• Somehow survived three arrows to the torso, a spear to the abdomen, and other more superficial wounds.
• Found and nursed to health by a stranger, a looter who took pity (or maybe guided by fate)
• Had a wife back in [City]; didn't want to disappoint her by coming back with his shield, rather than on it, after all the goodbyes and such—he presumes she remarried.
• Wandered in search of mercenary work, hoping to find a properly epic conflict to take part in, so he can die properly, and rejoin his brothers in the afterlife
