Gargost Durgradon
Gargost Durgradon is a violent thug for hire living in the Residential District of Elbion. Although he hasn't killed anyone, he's not afraid to use his morningstar and heavy crossbow to scare his opponents. In case they fight back, he defends himself with a shield and chainmail armor.
Appearance
With a muscular body over six feet tall, Gargost has a brutish appearance to match his brutish personality. His wavy black hair is often rather greasy due to how much of his life he spends on the road. His otherwise pale face is broken up by his dark eyes and the bags permanently underlining them. His thick eyebrows seem permanently furrowed and his lips are rarely not curled into a scowl.
Skills and Abilities
- Fighting (3/5, Intermediate): Gargost is a competent fighter, especially in melee fights, but he lacks the skill and experience that the average soldier has. He is also quite skilled at unarmed brawling.
- Intimidation (3/5, Intermediate): Gargost intimidates people for living and knows how to threaten people to get what he needs without actually having to hurt them. However, individuals with more power or influence than him have little reason to take him seriously.
- Athletics (2/5, Capable): In addition to intimidating people, Gargost is often hired to serve as muscle. He can shove people around and carry heavy loads fairly easily, but his strength is about as noteworthy as the average mercenary.
- Survival (1/5, Beginner): Gargost has spent a lot of his life traveling through both the wilderness and cityscapes. While he rarely strays off the main paths, he is used to long periods of time without creature comforts.

Personality
Gargost has found that most problems in life can be solved with violence and has made a living as a violent thug for hire. While he often uses threats and other forms of intimidation to do his job, he also recognizes when someone is clearly stronger than him and will defer to them. Despite his overwhelmingly brutish nature, he has yet to kill anyone largely because he refuses to continue hurting someone once he is confident they have been pacified. He respects transparency and people who aren't afraid to demonstrate their power, while he sees schemers and other manipulators as shameful. He also respects people who surrender or are otherwise capable of admitting that they have been beaten. As someone who has lived most of his life as a simple mercenary, he is used to following the orders of people more powerful than himself.
Biography & Lore
Gargost was born in the Residential District of Elbion to people employed by wealthy merchants. His parents would often travel to deliver goods on behalf of these merchants and when both of them would have to leave the city they would bring him with them. While his parents have since settled down in Elbion and now mainly serve as intermediaries in helping connect buyers and sellers, he developed a desire to continue traveling.
When he was younger and more naive, Gargost bought his weapons and equipment from a shady merchant so he could take up work as a guard for merchant caravans. He couldn't afford the equipment at the time, but the merchant agreed to take payment with interest after he completed some jobs. Unfortunately for him, he never made that money. The shady merchant, who was part of a small criminal organization, forcibly enlisted him as an expendable enforcer to help escort illicit goods and intimidate rivals. He continued serving them until guards arrested the organization's leadership while he and some other low level enforcers were out on a mission.
Gargost now uses his skills as a thug for hire, traveling around and working with people of varying moral standing as long as the pay is good. While he has not killed anyone, he is not above using intimidation and violence to get the job done. He is reckless and impatient, but is also quite loyal to those who pay him. He is fairly well trained with his weapons, but is not as skilled as someone like an average soldier.
