Bio:
Belthazar lived most of his life under the watchful eye of his father. His village is located on the eastern side of the The Great Wolf’s Hackles about a days journey from Daven’s Reach. His mother died in child birth. With no memory of her Belthazar’s only known family is his father.
Even at an early age in life Belthazar was a handful. If he wasn’t pranking innocent villagers, he was in other trouble. Fed up with the lack of discipline, Beltharzar’s father started teaching him the ways of combat. This managed to calm the rowdy Belthazar.
His father became a leader of a hunting pack while Belthazar was about 16. Since then Belthazar was a well respected member of the village. Although Belthazar wasn’t the greatest hunter, he joined his father occasionally on small hunts.
At the age of 18 Belthazar started working as a blacksmith, he wasn’t bad at it either. Even though it wasn’t hunting his father was happy to see his son grow up and find a useful skill, but the peaceful life of Belthazar’s would not last long.
One day his father went out with his hunting party and wasn’t heard from for quite some time. Belthazar knew something was wrong but no one else seemed to notice. After a week or so passed by there was still no news what happened to his father. By this time he was getting worried and feared for his father’s life.
A couple more days passed and still nothing, but out of nowhere the familiar look of his father’s armor came into view, except it wasn’t his father wearing it. A band of Mordok had ambushed Belthazar’s father and came back to the village wearing the hunting parties armor. The Mordok wasted no time slaughtering members of the village indiscriminately, suddenly the bands leader appeared around a corner and was now face to face with Belthazar. Outraged at the sight of the Mordok murderer wearing his father’s armor and wielding the sword that Belthazar forged as a gift to his father, blindly rushed the attacker. Belthazar managed to catch the leader off guard. As the attacker fell to the ground Belthazar grabbed the sword and with a growling cry he drove the blade deep into the Mordok’s head.
The battle didn’t last very long, but after it was all said and done Belthazar just couldn’t bear living in the village that reminds him so much of his father. So after the fires were out and the dead burned, Belthazar travels to Daven’s Reach to start a new life.
In Daven’s Reach Belthazar ran into a nervous human merchant named Helgen, she happened to come across Belthazar just out side of Daven’s Reach. After a long day of traveling he must have looked worn out and run down because she took him in and offered him a job.
She was not very big and not very good at combat so she offered Belthazar a job as her body guard and friend. Since then he has traveled with her and protected her where ever her work leads
RETIREMENT STORY – EPILOGUE OF A TIRED SOUL
After being recruited by William and the New army of Vandregon during the fateful battle to destroy the Lich, Belthazar Nightriver cast off his clan’s name and became known as Belthazar of Vandregon. From that moment he dedicated his life to serving and living up to the ideals of William and Rogar Shadowfang. Belthazar served ad fought in many battles alongside
his fellow soldiers, but his rebellious nature started to get the better of him.
Belthazar had difficulty following the rules. Before joining the Vandregon he had been living free and doing as he pleased whether it was honorable or not. Often, he would hold up caravans for their alcohol and proceed to drink it all that same day. Now being forced to abide by rules and regulations didn’t go over so well at times. Balthazar would get into fights and or
destroy property. This usually belonged to which ever tavern was closest to wherever Belthazar’s company was posted.
Belthazar was soon in debt to the army, who had been paying for his escapades. To pay off his debt Beltazar was forced into an apprenticeship of a black smith. Belthazar took to this trade and began to really enjoy it. He started making friends outside of the army and started taking his own commissions. Unfortunately, come pay day he would often forget to pay his
debt and would go to the taverns instead.
Belthazar made his name in what was known as Daven’s Reach at the time. Often making tools and goods for the town’s folk as well as weapons for the army. When not in a tavern or at the forge Belthazar would join in patrols and expeditions. During one of Balthazar’s tavern crawls he met a young looking male Syndar who treated him to a night of drinking. It turns out this Syndar owned one of the local taverns and had taken a fancy towards Belthazar. This cycle of repeat nights of free drinks and tall tales
soon led to the two courting.
This became the new normal for Belthazar, Respected blacksmith, Loyal soldier, Rebellious lover. Belthazar continued to be a smith and eventually paid off his debt to the army and promptly retired from his service. He still makes weapons and armor at a discount for the army.
When the fall of Daven’s Reach happened, he joined the Campaign to retake the city. He resettled in the now Daven’s Hold, continuing his trade alongside his lover. Belthazar finally found what he had been wanting. A Loving family, Friends who could fight, “almost,” as good as he could, and all the free booze an Ulven could drink.
