Description: Magnus is gruff looking man, although many who know him believe him to be a steadfast ally and friend. He is rather tall and imposing, with a stern looking face. His arms are large from many years of soldiering and working the forge. His face and hands bear many scars, some from the forge but most from his time in the militia.
Backstory:
Magnus Ironblood was always well liked by the members of his battalion. He fought many battle for the rook militia and was considered by his commanders to be an exemplary soldier. It wasn't until nearly 7 years ago that Magnus left the Rook militia, dishonorably discharged for not obeying orders. When asked about why he fell from grace, Magnus will often respond with a curt "I would not become a Dog of the militia, murdering innocents at command," before quickly dropping the subject. After his discharge he wandered the slums of Rook, looking for work and falling into the drink. Were it not for a kind blacksmith, Karl Fireforge taking him in as an apprentice, Magnus would most likely still be a drunk ex-soldier. Karl gave Magnus new purpose in his life, but the old man grew sickly over the five years Magnus was apprenticed to him. After the old man died, Magnus morned him but continued his work, crafting worthy weapons, armor and tools.
However, trouble is on the horizon, and Magnus can no longer stand by and watch as Rook is attacked and the incompetence of the guard and some of its politicians only make things worse. Magnus donned his armor and weapons he crafted with his own hands, and set out to the place he heard rumors of. A tavern were they say heroes and magic users gather to defend rook from threats that the incompetent guard cannot handle. Magnus Ironblood walks into the "Golden Plow" and his adventure begins...
Traits:

Reactionary (years from battle have not dulled his senses)
Notes: He has crafted his Armor, Longbow, Longsword and Lucerne Hammer
