Legends of Belariath

Ursakar

Hmmm Ursakar...were to begin? WEll this bull was born 30 years ago in the Northern Kingdoms of the Minotaurs. The Youngest of 3 children and the only son, he was raised by his mother, a harsh strict woman that showed little compassion to her children. His father was a soldier for the KIngdom and was not often home being out on campaig frequently. Ursakar was left without a male role model for most of his life, and grew into a very submissive child to his mother and older sisters. He was taken to the fighters school at a very young age, expected to be a Warrior like his father, he was givcen little training in things such as math, language or the arts. He was instead trained to fight, kill, obey orders and differ to those higher then him in station.

He did well in his training very good at following orders and well adept in the use of sword and axe. He was trained with a crossbow as well and quickly became a good shot...thou not as well as was expected. He was beaten almost daily by his mother who thought he shbecome an Officer if only he put his mind to it. But Urs was more the personality to take orders not give them, his Mother never seeing the way she raised him directly brought that about. Still he quickly learned how to manipluate, with jhis good looks and gentle ways he was a favorite to the local girls who thought him very much the gentleman, and his well toned frame didn't hinder that either. At the age of 16 he was indentured into the military, beginning his life as a full time warrior.

For the next 14 years he'd travel in company with the army. He worked his way up the ranks to a sergent, he had a head for tactics and strategy but not a head for leading large groups of men. Still he lead smaller groups very well and soon he and a few like him were given the task of Scouts for the army, ranging ahead and setting ambushes for the opposing forces. Then one day his army ran into a group of Trolls that were sacking a village. The things the Bull saw the brutes do to those women and children forever scared him to their kind....brutal rape and torture, he's never had anything but loathing for the race since. It goes without saying the Minotaurs butchered the Trolls and Ursakar found out just how dangerous he could be when enraged. Since then he does his best to keep his temper in check......normally fairly well.

After a time he was released from service and took to wondering about the land, working as a Bodygaurd and mercenary. He fought many, worked for many and killed many. Then he came to the Lonely Inn and finding it rather...interesting he's decided to stay for a while. Having met many of his own kind here he is enjoying himself, but in his heart he still yearns to serve others and is looking for someone that may need a large skilled Mino as a Bodygaurd.
