## Description

### Appearance

Brick is a large human man. He has naturally feathered chestnut hair, streaming down to about his shoulders. While capable of being intimidating, he usually looks friendly and possesses a handsome face. He towers over most people, yet is capable of being gentle.

Perhaps most the most noticeable feature is his rippling muscles. As he is usually wearing only a loincloth, they are on full display, along with his well-tanned skin. He has more formal clothing, but prefers to wear anything that will show off his physique.

### Personality

Brick is a man of simple, direct passions. He puts his heart into everything he does, be it fighting, loving, or eating. He desires to experience all the joys of the larger world and throws himself into it without reservation. Due to his sheltered upbringing in a small northern village, he is easily fascinated by new things he encounters, especially magic.

He is also extremely protective of those smaller than himself. He sees it as his duty, by virtue of his size and strength, that he must protect those that cannot protect themselves. His closeness to his very large family extends to those he adopts into his family, including the party.

He is blunt, yet means well. He cannot resist asking questions, even if he can come off as rude. He is as hungry for knowledge as he is for food.

He cannot resist petting and befriending cute animals.

## Biography

### During the campaign

#### The Mysterious Carriage

Brick arrived in the village of Hamburg, out of money, but drawn by the smell of food coming from the Mountain Grouse Inn. Also there would be Saf'yra Glan'odel and Genevieve Le Fleur Louve de le Foret and they would all strike up a quick friendship. Finding themselves all out of money and looking for work, the proprietor, Ciscero. He hires them to help clean in exchange for free food and rooms. The following day, Ciscero would introduce all three of them to Mayor Bryson Octavian. He would hire the three of them to guard a mysterious carriage through the mountains to the west to his father, the Baron of the Octavian Barony. They all agree and prepare to leave in the morning.

That evening, the group goes hunting for food for the inn. The group found signs warning of the nearby dryad being "in heat". Unable to resist the prospect, Brick leads them to the grove of the dryad Thuvia. Brick allows himself to be taken in by the seductive wiles of the dryad, spending an enjoyable evening with her. He returned to the inn the following night, exhausted, but no worse for the experience.

Along the way, they would be joined by Corin Ashsong. He had been sent from Hamburg to assist in the guarding of the carriage and would become another part of the new adventuring group.

The following morning, they meet with the other guards that have been hired, as well as a doddering old man driver. As they crossed the mountains, they would be ambushed by the mountain bandit Gregor, as well as the other guards turning upon them. During the fight, the driver revealed himself to actually be Kana, a human fighter that had been disguised as the driver. During the fight the traitor guards were slain and Gregor captured.

As they entered the Octavian Barony, they would find the outlying villages were underpopulated. They had recently suffered an undead incursion led by a bone naga.

The group would arrive in the capital city of Durerea Vieții. There they would meet with Baron Quince Bonapard Octavian. At this point it was revealed they had been guarding horseshoes. It seems they were intended to be bait for the bandit problem in the mountains and deal with it. A job well done, our heroes were paid and permitted to stay the night at the baron's keep.

#### Bandits, curses and demi-liches, oh my!

Brick gorged himself upon the food offered by the Baron. He also attempted to gain the attention of the Baron's daughter, Evandra Lynn Octavia, as well as the maids, to no avail.

The following day the group was politely kicked out of the keep. They split up for the day before meeting back up the following night.
