Dragomir of Cassendre

**Dragomir** was a Human Bounty Hunter and member of Inexial's Chosen. He lived in Cassendre for much of his life near the border of Veles and Mirean, he was however born in the Kingdom of Northwind, in the mountains with the Clans.

Along side the other Heroes, Dragomir helped to defeat **The Star Shepherd** and stopped the return of Karai, the Mad God. This victory relieved him of the Spirit that held his body and restored him to a liberated life. He became a noted protector of the Kingdom, rising in the ranks.

## History

### Birth and Early Life

Born within the mountains of Northwind, Dragomir was raised in a secluded life, the Clans made do with what they hand, living off the life around them. He was used to that life, a life of hide-patch tents and gatherings by a large fire in the evening. His parents brought him up to respect his Elders but over time he realised how much he was missing in his life, not to mention the "King of the Clans" making life very difficult for anyone who was not of his Clan. On one occassion Gjorn and his kin marched into the camp, and simply took what he pleased at a sword point. This drove many of the Clans to starvation, more and more they grouped up. Then less and less they had to fill the mouths. Gjorn had set up quite the stronghold on the backs of his kin, drinking the finest meads and eating the best cuts of the cattle.

It frustrated Dragomir's father who led a band of his men to steal food and supplies so their people wouldn't die. The mission successful from a certain point of view. unfortunately the theft angered Gjorn who marched once more upon the camp and burned it, his people raped and pillaged as they saw fit, even taking some of the women and children with them. Any men who tried to fight were killed, Dragomir watched his father surrender at the point of Gjorn's sword, a dishonour to their gods. Dragomir wouldn't give up so easily, he managed to throw an axe into Gjorn's shoulder but the strike wouldn't kill, with the help of a close friend he managed to escape on horseback, until his horse was maimed with a well placed arrow, Dragomir tumbled off a cliff face to a frozen lake, where he soon found himself surrounded by Wolves one of which attacked and managed to dig it's teeth into his neck. He was truly lucky to survive as his friend dispatched one or two of the beasts. His friend guided them North to Clan Vandran where Dragomir first met Sasha the future Shield Maiden of King Alexius who helped heal his wounds.

### Rebellion

Nearly half a decade later, Gjorn's antics had angered a great many more Clans, alliances started to form, Dragomir and Sasha led Clan Vandran into battle where they had ambushed Gjorn during a banquet at his stronghold. They pillaged many supplies and burned buildings but refused to kill non-warriors showing their honour. Dragomir broke into the Meadhall and confronted Gjorn, they had a duel in which Dragomir defeated his enemy and caused him to flee on horseback, Dragomir followed and chased him for nearly a mile into a nearby settlement where once again Dragomir threw an axe, finding good purchase in Gjorn's back. With witnesses in the people and the Gods, Dragomir slew Gjorn at Herald's Peak.

Dragomir planned to leave after peace had been brought to the Clans, despite Sasha's wish for him to stay. He left to the South picking up jobs as a mercenary for some time before he established himself in Cassendre, he bought a house and made his business of Bounty Hunting.

### Netheredge

On one particular occassion Dragomir recieved a letter from Sasha, who was now on the King's Council to come to Highmore urgently. He did so, happy to hear from her again. He arrived in Highmore where he was escorted to the Throneroom. Word of his exploits had reached far and wide, and he was tasked with removing a bandit gang from Winterkeep in the Kingdom of Marilan. After a week's ride, he arrived outside the keep prepared to face off against the Frostblade Bandits. It's unknown how he survived the attack, but no word has come from Winterkeep since and Dragomir walked away with a new blade in hand.
