Description

Golel-Twisted Grasp-Lalake is a Giant of a man with massive muscles and very little hair. He is almost 8 ft tall, with mottled grey/black skin with green eyes. He is generally loud and outspoken, speaking his mind. Once aggravated, he becomes a hulking brute wading into battle bellowing his Gods name.

Golel fights with an oversized Weighted Greatsword, normally used by giant folk, with his over large physique, he weilds this with incredible ease. He wears a special suit of armour for which he has trained excessively, enabling him to move with exceptional ease. Even though the armour appears to be bulky, his training and agility while wearing it has taken many of his foes off guard.

Golel generally travels alone, but is quite happy to assist parties of travellers if their cause is just and require his assistance. Although Golel is acknowledged as a Favoured Soul, he generally carries himself as a Paladin, fighting evil where he finds it. He is fiercly loyal to his friends and would gladly sacrifice himself if required to save an innocent life.


History


Golel-Twisted Grasp-Lalake was born of one of the Goliath tribes in the mountains. He was left behind after breaking his leg and not being able to keep up with the rest of his people. While waiting to die, a Knight of Kord came upon him . He took him in and cared for his injuries bringing him back to full health and ability. While with him, he grew to appreciate the Knight and the god he served and decided to follow him for a little longer.

He led him to his monastery where he started taking an interest in Kord, the Knights God.  He noticed the special abilities of the Clerics of Kord and would watch and wonder at how they miraculously healed wounds, or read almost unintelligible words and like every good Goliath, he appreciated their Greatswords.

He was taught the ways of the sword by the followers of Kord, learning how to use the Greatsword with style adding his brute strength to his fighting ability when using it. Around this time, he noticed his ability to do little things to assist. He realized that he was able to read those words that were once unintelligible, and heal wounds that he had seen the priests heal.

When he was old enough to travel again, he asked that he be allowed to join the Knight on a quest. While travelling in the mountains with his new found friend, they came upon a travelling caravan that was selling oversized weapons, among them a wonderful oversized Greatsword. To the Knight, it looked too large to wield effectively, to Golel, it was like a guiding light had shone on it, illuminating it with the Gods Touch. He took the sword, reverently praising Kord and thanking him for this new weapon. He purchased the weapon and a new set of armour from the merchants as well as picking up an oversized Crossbow and an oversized Master Worked Heavy Mace. With his incredible strength, Golel was able to wield these weapons with extreme ease. Due to his size, he was also able to use his new armour with incredible ease, learning to move with little to no difficulty. He has since found a magical suit that has given him even more protection while casting his spells.

He took the time to labouriously inscribe his Deities symbol into his Master Worked Buckler, showing to all the world his faith and his calling. Although unable to explain how he was able to cast spells that they had to pray for, his fellow priests accepted his dedication and devotion to their God and welcomed his Arm to their cause. After travelling with his new family for several years, Golel felt it necessary to travel and experience the rest of the world for himself. He has taken up to travelling around, exploring the land and experiencing the cultures that Faruun has to offer.
