[b]Name[/b]: Carrigan Trask aka The Hyena

[b]Gender[/b]: Male

[b]Role or Title[/b]: Former Slaver/Human Trafficker

[b]Appearance[/b]: In his mid forties, Trask has not aged well, with scars and age-lines forming a maze across his features. His blue-grey eyes defy his age, shining from within weathered, sunken sockets. Simple clothes sit beneath a long leather coat with heavy duty boots adorning his feet. Aside from the long grey hair, tied back into a ponytail, the major feature of Trask is the scar on his right cheek. A gnarled sigil had been deliberately cut into his flesh and burned, the sign of a former slaver. The people who had branded him, his former slaver colleagues, had also taken all four fingers on his left hand, down to the palm. Despite his age, Trask has great reflexes and combat awareness. However, due to the life he has led, he walks with a limp.

[b]Weapons[/b]: To compensate for the loss of the fingers on his left hand, Carrigan has commisioned a gauntlet made of hundreds of steel tesselating plates and sheet steel. The glove is heavy duty and is used almost as a shield, to deflect blows and open an opponent up for counters. To compliment his gauntlet, Trask carries a straight edged, double edged, rapier. Despite being only an inch and half across and almost paper thin, the sword is strong and capable of punching through toughened leather with ease.

[b]Background[/b]: Born into slavery, Carrigan's parents were killed by the owners of his family whilst he was only young. As he grew up, Carrigan showed an aptitude for violence and combat. Before his fourteenth birthday, he had taken his first life, pitted against a boy a few years older than him, in a combat arena used as sport by his masters. At sixteen, he was won from his existing masters by a slaver named Balthor Rend. He was thrust into the world of people trafficking and trading. He left an impression on Rend and, by twenty-one, had been freed and made a partner in the slaver's business.

[b]Reasons for Joining the Resistance[/b]:After witnessing the aftermath of one of the Crown's raids into one of the poverty stricken areas of the city, he reassessed his life. The soldiers didn't care who they killed, criminal or no. Men, women and children lay slain in the streets, brutalised and mutilated with no mercy nor remorse. He hated the world for what it had become and himself for so callously playing his part. He vowed to no longer be a part of a system that destroys and corrupts.
