The character
Name: Ruthaer ar'Thar
Race: Tiefling
Class: (Tactical) Warlord
Role: Leader
Level: 6
Appearance:
Ruthaer ar'Thar is a brilliant and arrogant Tiefling warlord. His fearsome reputation has likened him to the 'War-Lords' of old Bael Turath.
Background:
Originially a young and exceptionally gifted captain of an embattled free town during the Twilight War. He quickly made his name running daring strike-missions and rose through the military ranks, respected for his tactical genius and sharp mind, but equally feared for his ruthlessness and lack of empathy. During a heated battle, he once send five score of the towns best men to a certain bloody death for a seemingly minor objective (To this day, he claims this move was decisive for the battle). His star thus shone, only in the days of war. As peace began to settle across the free towns, Ruthaer was quickly relieved from his position for more 'humane' officers.
His renown however only grew as he took up a live of adventuring, putting his genius to winning fortunes and fame with a small group of equally gifted companions. But he always retained his cold-hearted efficience and, if anything, his presumptious pride only grew with the groups ever more daring exploits. Certain of his supreme intellect and his superiority, he dabbled with his infernal lineage to unlock hidden powers (infernal pact initiate). He wears black armour stitched from unspeakable beasts of the Shadowfell (+1 Deathcut Hide), carries the mummified finger of a hag as a potent ward (+2 Amulet of Protection) and wields a crimson-tinged, tieflingforged blade that seems to delight in cruelty and pain (+2 vicious longsword). For all the dire warnings of his companions that dark forces may not always bow to his rational, Ruthaer has thus far been vindicated by the success of his exploits.
Yet, there may come change. Being struck down from his rise to glory by the encounter with the Lich, there may be chance for Ruthaer to learn that somethings are better left untouched. That some forces may not be out-witted by tactical genius. There is yet a chance, that Ruthaer may learn something akin to humility...
