Samson Strong

Samson

## Description

Samson is a Great Giant of unnatural size. Even for the massive Great Giants, Samson is humongous. Standing at 220'7" and weighing roughly 232,400 lbs, Samson is the largest Great Giant currently alive.

He is a master potion brewer, and specializes in enlargement and reducement potions. He typically keeps himself reduced in size so that that he can more easily interact with people.

He wears a Metan style cuirass chestplate, a papaha, an eyepatch, and a kilt.

## Personality

Samson is typically jovial, always willing to talk to receptive people. He frequently lives out in the wilderness, protecting Jorgamundr from frost giants, white dragons, and other threats.

He is always eager to help those in need, though not always capable of doing so given his immense size. He usually tries to help the people of Jorgamundr by hunting down and killing the most dangerous predators which threatens the colony.

## Abilities

He has an enchanted Warhammer named *Judgement*, with which he is extremely proficient. Not only this, but he is a master of siege, learning to break down walls and towers with his massive hammer.

He is a master of brewing, originally learning this craft by brewing his own alcohol. He soon moved on to brewing potions and is now regarded as one of the finest potion alchemists in the world.

## Possessions

Samson possesses his weapons and armor, as well as a appropriately sized pair of bagpipes, brewing supplies, masonry tools, and other tools. His most treasured possession is a white dragon's skeleton which he hangs from the ceiling at his house on the outskirts of Jorgamundr.

## Relationships

Samson's relationships are almost exclusively platonic. Given his long life and his immense size, he has assumed that romantic relationships between him and any of the smaller races would end in misery for him.

He knows of a few other Great Giants. He is aware of Anita, and claims to have had a romantic relationship with her about 100 years before 413 FA, but also claimed that she was very young, and that he felt awkward when courting her.

He had also encountered the Order of the Valkyries. The Order was active during the Albonic-Preussen War, and Samson, being that he was Albonic by definition, came from the north to offer his services in combat. At the Siege of Elbesmark he was instrumental in breaching the city's defenses and allowing the Albons to swarm the city. During this, 6 of the Valkyries, including the former Grandmaster, Inara Veilsbruck, counterattacked. Samson engaged with the Valkyries, killing Veilsbruck and injuring 2 more.

## History

Samson was born near modern Stalworth during the age of the Monic Empire. He grew up, never knowing his parents, but learning the language and customs of the locals.

At some point between the fall and the beginning of the Fourth Age, Samson went into the Frozen North, and established a log cabin for himself near modern day Jorgamundr.

When the Albonic-Preussen War broke out, Samson volunteered for the Albonic side. He was instrumental in the Siege of Elbesmark. After the war had concluded, he was one of the proponents of establishing the Northern Colonies.

Ever since their inception, he has dedicated himself to protecting the settlers of the Far North, helping them negotiate with the local tribes.
