Kasskar's original background notes
Kasskar is of plain Hollin commoner stock, with brown hair, brown eyes
and an unremarkable average face. He dresses plainly in clothing that
blends in with the street crowds and uses a plain cloak that disguises
his size and his gear.
Kasskar is practical and conservative, generous to those he feels as
deserving,
faithful to his friends and vicious in a fight.
History: Kasskar was raised in the Braddock district of Hollin by his
merchant family that ran a semi-permanent stall in the Shambles.
He lost his family to the great plague and fire that swept through the
Shambles when he was 14, which left him slightly scarred. Thereafter
he survived on the streets of the market doing odd jobs for other vendors
and dodging press gangs. After a few years he gained in
bulk and started doing work as a bodyguard, bouncer, and occasionally
an enforcer.
For a time Kasskar also took up with a market entertainer, a drunk
who did dagger tricks for coins and booze. The old man was actually a skilled
mercenary in his day and taught Kasskar quite a bit before he was crushed
under a runaway wagon.
