== Background ==
* Once served at the side of Emperor K'tarv Oshéu of the Gralnath Primacy.
* When the Imperium was conquered and broken up, K'tarv and his family returned to their ancestral home of Gralnath to live out his days in obscurity.
* K'tarv wasn't allowed to retain a private security force, so Martog was out of a job.
* He was given a choice: either be returned to the earth to wait for a time that the family needs him again, or became a penniless wanderer, offering his services to anyone who can afford an elite soldier and/or bodyguard.
* Martog is amember of the Olganar people, whose bodies are forged from the earth itself and given life through the insertion of a magical stone into their chest cavity. Similar to a golem but with the full functionality of a human, with his own personality and desires. He is completely loyal and has a lifedebt to the Oshéu family. If they ever call him back into service, he will drop everything to do so. He is a whiz with a spear and can run indefinitely without ever growing tired. He is in love with his former master's youngest daughter, B'neth Oshéu, a talented dressmaker, horsewoman, and musician. His hobbies include chess, woodcarving, amateur dramatics, and puzzles. He has had many small pets over the years, but his favorite was a squirrel named Parsley.
* Martog Skyforge is former prime bodyguard to former emperor K'tarv Oshéu of the Gralnath Primacy. 
* His Firebreathing Kitten tattoo is on his upper back between his shoulder blades. 
== Things I'd Like to Explore in Future Adventures ==
* I'd like a reunion with Princess B'neth where they get to explore their feelings for one another. Perhaps they meet on the road or at a party or perhaps he has to return to Gralnath for some reason. It should be extremely romantic and passionate, as Martog loves deeply and with great respect. B'neth chafes at being forced to remain chaste and upright, despite her name having little relevance since the collapse of the Imperium. She might even head out on the road specifically to find Martog.
* I'd also like to find a way to restore the Oshéu family to prominence, whether by winning the emperor a title, bringing home a powerful artifact, or securing an alliance with another powerful ruler. This is a long shot, of course, and may be a pipe dream, but seeking this goal could motivate him to keep adventuring. It could even complicate matters if he decides to help B'neth find a suitable marriage partner to cement a political alliance.
* I'd like him to find and ride a fantastical animal, possibly sentient. Definitely should be able to run endlessly without tiring, fly, teleport, phase in and out of existence, and/or jet around underwater. This creature should be friendly and majestic, yet able to have fun. I'm picturing someone like Falkor from Neverending Story.
