#### **Personality**

**Nilbarad** was hot-tempered and unpredictable as an adult bounty hunter growing in Plato. He was also known for his incredible appetite for food, drink and women. Later in his life after some hard life lessons he learned to be more cautious in and outside of battle. But never changing his lust for adventures and questing. He doesn't know fear as mortals understand it. How could he, having seen what he has? Which is great that he's always willing to challenge the odds, but it's more like he doesn't process them at all.

#### Early Years

Born in the small village Plato he showed love for combat since his very young age. His father Harold was a guard captain of the city watch in Baldur's Gate till his retirement in order to focus on farming and his family. His mother, **Nirdaniel** was a beautiful wealthy lady from the village Plato. Nilbarad's enormous size was an advantage in battle and he spent countless hours in training. Since the age of 17 he protected the village from orc attacks with his friend Amrod. At the age of 20 after a tragic event he left his home to become a bounty hunter in Baldur's Gate.

#### The lost eye and the death of his parents

**Nilbarad** at the young age of 19 decided on becoming a bounty hunter to earn some money and hunt criminals. After many successful hunts Nilbarad, against the will of his father,decided to hunt the wanted son of a powerfull drug merchant operating in Baldur's Gate so he could bring him to justice. He easily found his bounty at an inn in Baldur's Gate.The son of the drug merchant did little to hide his identity or his presence in the city. He knew that his father had the money and the influence to save him from any ordeal. After a brief fight Nilbarad won and tied his enemy so he could bring him to the city guard.As he was walking with the tied bounty in his shoulders,the criminal escaped and attacked him by suprise. The inexperienced bounty hunter was caught of guard and killed the son. He then carried him to the city guard so he could get the bounty money, little did he know that he was dooming his family with his actions. Later in the day Nilbarad decided to rest in an inn and then return to his village Plato. The next day Nilbarad left for the trip back home.When he arrived in his village and went to his house he found that his mother and father surrounded by six strange men.It was the drug merchant accompanied by his five bodyguards. The merchant said to Nilbarad that he should not have messed with his family and then slit the throat of his parents in front of him. Nilbarad had his world destroyed in front of his eyes he just stood there doing nothing.The merchant said to him that he would leave him alive so he could suffer from his actions....Nilbarad was standing there holding his dead parents in his arms when after what seemed like days he stood, burried them both behind their home then he grabbed his huge greatsword and rushed to Baldur's Gate.He decided to take revenge.He found the big mansion of the drug merchant and in a carzy frenzy stormed the huge house killing his mercenaries and bodyguards.After the rampage was finished, soaked in blood he found the drug merchant hiding in a room with his wife and two sons.Nilbarad looked like a demon of vengeange as he approached the family not saying a word killing the wife of the merchant and his two sons in front of him, then he grabbed the merchant with his two arms by the throat lifting him up, but the merchant had a knife hiden in his pocket ,he took a hold of it and with a quick move he took a swing at Nilbarad's face damaging his left eye.Nilbarad did not move an inch, crashing the throat of his family murderer with his bare hands.

> Πιστεύω ότι δεν χρειάζεται να σου πω πώς είναι να πεθαίνεις. Υπάρχει ειρήνη στον θάνατο. Σε κραταει σφυχτα. Ψιθυρίζοντας σε μοναχικούς τόνους ότι κάθε πρόβλημα στον κόσμο θα εξαφανιστεί. Αλλά μετά, υπάρχει αυτη η αίσθηση μέσα σου και η οργή. Φωτίζει κάθε νεύρο με τρέλα. Να παλέψεις! Και παρωλαυτα υπαρχει ενα ερώτημα που μένει μπροστά σου...Αντέχεις παραπάνω; Θα μπορούσες να περάσεις μια ζωή χωρίς να αντιμετωπίσεις ποτέ μια τέτοια επιλογή, αλλά σε αλλάζει για πάντα. Λυπάμαι κάπως για σένα. Που δεν θα το νιώσεις ποτέ αυτό. Ούτε την αγάπη των φίλων σου που θέλουν να επιστρέψεις. Aναπαύσου εν ειρήνη τώρα.
