ND/Hloomawl

***Name:*** Hloomawl

***Appearance:***  A chubby, soft-looking brown minotaur with southern features. He has whip scars on his back and arms.

He is a heroic commander of the Resistance army, good at managing troops, and a terror on the battlefield. Hloomawl is a battlefield leader, striding into battle at the forefront of his men, bedecked in shining heavy armor and dealing literal thunderous blows with his flail, Crushing Hooves of Thunder, while deflecting impossible blows against himself and his allies with the magic shield Warding Horns of the Prince.

He often fights beside his magical dinosaur Pirteä, but when acting as a special assault strike force, he rides her into battle and cackles a lot.

### Description

Hloomawl is the eighth child (second son of two) of Noolan Bear-Witness, Noolan is the first in lineage of the Jarl of the Eastern clans, long scattered by the orcs but still remembered and respected by her people. Noolan's clan thought they had found saftey for a limited life gardening semi-nomadically and collecting browse in the woods, but the orcs caught up with them. Hloomawl, twelve years old and already the size of a grown woman, tried to join the defense but was knocked very solidly over the head by a shield. By the time he had awoken, he was in chains behind enemy lines. He was castrated shortly after, and stuck on a cart bound for Hanist.

Hloomawl spent the next seven years treated as little more than a pack animal on an Imperial Road Crew. He met the minotaur Elder Hroogar while serving.

Soldiers in the Liberation Army found Hloomawl to be the most approachable and sympathetic non-officer among the senior leaders of the Resistance. He soon found himself passing their concerns on to his fellow leaders. When the Ruling Council was created in May 508, Hloomawl was appointed Auctorus Rex and added to the Council to present the concerns of the soldiers.

### Notes

As a Heir, Hloomawl is almost always treated respectfully by any Minotaur clan and gets a +3 Reaction bonus from Minotaurs.
