Tenoch Coatl

## Backstory

Tenoch Coatl is a Red Isle Minotaur who was banished from the Red Isle for being too small. He was originally part of King Huhl's tribe. Now he works as a mercenary based in the town of Raufel. He has a rough exterior but a heart of gold.

## Raufel

After returning from a month long voyage at see, he was hired by Leia Tana, of the White Sails, to help her investigate a series of robberies. They then head to the Daemynagerie, the exterminator/pet shop owned by Daemys Raethran.  Finding that the robbery was the work of a professional, the three travel to the mansion of another robbery victim, Plera Scale, where they discover the target of the heists was a old green jewel.  On the way they meet a drunk named Red Sparrow, who lets them know that Kord's gang may be involved in the robberies. At the moment, an alarm sounds, indicating a pirate fleet has arrived at the docks.  The three rush into battle and are able to defeat Captain Bloodhorn and his first mate, Bawb Chud.

The group continues to investigate the robberies, finally tracking down Kord's gang. Two of them die by revealing they have been contracted to find all of the green gems in Raufel and are bound by a black metal coin to complete the job. Kord and Big Tom flee and continue their plans. The group tracks them down again and agrees to help them finish their job and relieve them of their contract so they can get their help to get more information on the Black Cloaks who hired them. Along the way, Tenoch makes friends with a merman named Bar Bar Minks and a young minotaur named Rustflame. When Bar Bar is murdered by Kord, Tenoch takes his remains and returns them to the sea.

Tenoch works with the others to recover two more gems, the first they steal from Pink's Pingus and Pawn and the second they steal from the Hooks. During this time, he meets with Bab Bar Minks, brother of Bar Bar, and pledges to help him find vengeance after the mission is completed. He also convinces Bubo to help them with their mission and promises that he will be allowed to have Kord when this was all over. As the party deal with the Hooks, a fireball passes over Raufel, leaving destruction in its wake.

The party races against the approaching tsunami to find the final gem, which is located in the governor's mansion. Breaking in, Bubo and Starheart find it, but also the sickly Governor Urit Syle. Tenoch rescues him along with his assistant, Arden Barlow. After fleeing to high ground, the party makes its way to the temple of Sahlen, where the gems are given to the Black Cloaks, who destroy them. The party now turns its attention to the chaos in Raufel and help stop the gang violence, as Tenoch gores the leader of the Gulls, Skinny Jack, to death.

Four days later, Tenoch wakes to find Bubo and Kord missing. At the memorial to the fallen, along with Starheart, Tenoch meets Nitsuj Allsop, who delivers a message from Bubo: he will be back soon. Arden Barlow hires the three to help save Governor Urit Syle's lafe by finding the alchemist Jerrot Valmir. They are able to find him and agree to gather medicinal supplies from the crypt and ocean, as well as Jerrot's red crate, which was lost onboard the Eel's Jelly in the harbor. They are able to find the items after several run-ins with local wildlife and return to the governor's mansion to witness the healing of the governor.

After being asked by Governor Syle to investigate the identity of the mystery healer of Raufel, Tenoch runs into a human woman named Ophelia who wants to tag along. After they discover that the healer is Jerrot Valmir, Ophelia reveals her true identity as Captain Ora Stone of the Eel's Jelly and demands payment for the goods on her ship. Later, sworn to secrecy by Jerrot, Tenoch lies to the governor about the healer's identity, but agrees to travel north to Copperforge to seek a loan from Queen Sleekrun to help rebuild the city.

## Copperforge

Before leaving the city, Tenoch is given a enchanted longbow by Parn Hill, who as asked him to find his son, Gaff. During his journey north, Tenoch encounters a cabin beside the road inhabited by Orithel. Orithel is an odd man with mysterious powers, but grants Tenoch the ability to call on his name to ignite his great ax with fire. Further north, the party find the remains of a ruin caravan that was attacked by Kurluk's orc clan. They rescue Gaff and take him back to Orithel's cabin, sending word to Parn to meet them there. At the cabin, they defeat a group of raiding orcs.

Waking the next morning, Tenoch finds Bubo and Orethil both gone. He and the party travel north and encounter Doro Tott, a Canikin. They agree to enter Thornbrush Forest to help find his two lost pups. Following the tracks and a spore-like mist, they reach a cave and do battle with a cloaked figure and his summed horrors. Many friends also join the battle and eventually they are victorious and return the two pups to Doro.

Tenoch hurries to the city ahead of the others to deliver the sunburned Danny to a healer. Days later, Tenoch is reunited with Bubo when they are both hired by Sylence Dewgong to investigate the Dungeon level on behalf of Elb Gabber. On the way, he gives his greataxe to Klaxxon Carbal to enchant, on the condition he will spread the fame of the artificer to the kingdom of Quarry. Journeying through the Prison level, the party free Kord before heading to the Dungeon. There they are meet by Meno and the Forgotten. They also discover a vast cavern of machinery building hundreds of war machines and weapons for Queen Sleekrun and manage to destroy some of them.

After leaving the dungeon, Tenoch takes Kord to the Peak to get him restored. Meeting with Elb Gabber, the gnome tells Tenoch that if he ever sees Kord's face again, both he and Tenoch are dead men. He also hires Bask to help free Kord from his prinoner's bracer, at which point he tells Kord to leave and city and head to Raufel. Tenoch will meet him their and they will make plans to join up together as a team.
