The Pig/Biography

===The 'Abomination'===
Duc Truffe is a son of an abusive father who starved and attacked him at a young age for his physical deformity. After escaping from home, he joined a group of bandits, where he rose to leadership over time. To make up for his sufferings, he started claiming an overly high amount of the best foods after raids, and became morbidly fat as a result. Possibly due to his relentless and fearsome character, Duc Volpe appointed him as his enforcer on the battlefield.
=== Brutal tactics ===
In Stronghold, the Pig is introduced after the rebels of the King bear arms and the Boy leads them against the crown's adversaries, dealing heavy blows to the Rat and Duc Beauregard, while also claiming large swathes of their territories. As the successes incite more and more Lords to revolt against the Wolf, he commands the Pig to restore order by force.
After some initial failures to provide military support for the Rat from the background, the Pig launches a skirmish to retake the conquered lands. The effort is so initially so successful that he manages to claim a county, putting a dent in the rebel control. He also captures and brutally kills Lord Woolsack, loyal advisor to the rebel forces. Triumphant, Duc Truffe exerts a brutal policy on the locals, extorting and torturing them. 
The rebels soon enough launch a series of attacks in the Pig's own homeland, targeting his castle while being away on the campaign. The castle is quickly forced away from Truffe, suffering a major loss of a military headquarter, which results in the disruption of his forces.
=== Attack on the church ===
The Pig is however not deterred from causing a huge turmoil by attacking the Black Monks in their marshy fort, who safeguard valuable designs in the art of war. They are helped out by the rebels, who use their knowledge of the burning oil and pitch ditches to repel the brute's forces, exhausting the Pig's reserves, while also securing the sacred knowledge. Truffe must retreat battered to his castle.
It does not take long until Truffe meets his maker, when the Boy lays siege to his stronghold and takes over his castle. Reminiscent of his brutality, he is viciously executed by the Boy, bound to a pole and riddled with arrows.
=== Legacy ===
Duc Truffe is survived by his two capable sons, who take their titles from noblemen that he had killed: Earl Swinefoot, and Bishop Redham.
