[@Bloodrose] [hider=Gak'Tar Long-Knife, Kroot Mercenary] [center] [b]Name/Titles:[/b] Gak'Tar Long-Knife [b]Denomination:[/b] Both Khorne in his most martial aspect and nothing - prefers coin and technology, really. [b]Appearance:[/b] Gak is, in pretty much all ways, the image of an a-typical Kroot warrior; his quilled head is home to sharp eyes and a sharper beak, his overall structure that of a stretched and gangly humanoid covered all over in mottled green and brown-speckled flesh. Chaotic influence has had an effect however, Gak being more muscled and with quills and flesh of a redder hue than most of his kin. He usually dresses himself in 'barbaric' garb, consisting of what other species would term rags - a loincloth and so on - with patches of blood-encrusted armour, fetishes and trophies festooning him, but is more than happy and capable to wear heavier armour (taken from an enemy or given by an employer) if the need requires it. [b]Personality:[/b] Irrational, unhinged, and excessively bloodthirsty are some words used to describe this xenos and his 'personality'. Some employers - for he [b]is[/b] a mercenary first and foremost - have accused him of being far too cruel, flaying enemies, taking trophies and torturing for what seems like fun; nevertheless he has [b]never[/b] reneged on a contract, completing them to the letter, and being paid in full. He is loyal to a fault if paid correctly, merciless to his adversaries, swift to learn and adapt (as all Kroot are), and with a taste for tainted meat. One thing he has never understood, though he has an innate sense of it due to his corruption, is the rivalry between the various deities, as such he feels much less uneasy fighting alongside Slaaneshi worshippers or those of the Changer than more human subjects might. [b]Biography:[/b] Gak came to Skuberimma in the way that all Kroot do, as a hired gun for one (and eventually both) of the combatants in a conflict, he and his kindred taken into war by their Shaper in search of DNA, currency and payment in advanced technology. In the beginning all went well, the kindred prospered and much flesh was consumed under the Shapers watchful gaze, but as they became bogged down in warfare between the two pirate factions things began to go awry; the Shaper was forced more and more to hold back his charges from eating what was known as 'tainted meat' - flesh taken from Chaotic worshippers of one form or another - and it was one fateful day that Gak broke free from his leash and did just that. The reponse from his former kith and kin was almost immediate, the Shaper able to smell the corruption within him and ordering him dispatched without delay... It took Gak'Tar years of constant fleeing from one place to the next, and self-defense against his own kind, to finally have a fraction of a sense of freedom, whether illusionary or no. Over time he decided to shape himself, seeking out the enemies most ferocious warriors and dispatching them himself. This has lead, due to his location and the forces within it, to eating the bodies of many Khornate champions and warriors in the process. Gak is well aware of Euromulus Krynne, knowing of his mercantile earnings and quite pleased to have been summoned, the terms of payment and exactly what he will be paid still to be discussed. As such this is little more than yet another transaction, and so Gak heads back toward Skuberimma, his beak wet with blood and fire in his veins.
