Nemesis – The Avenger 

The First and Eventual last of the Kerridan warchiefs who eventually settled into the Norkin people. He has lived many lives always out played by the Avenger save one glorious victory where he broke his kingdom, slew his wife, and murdered his baby son leaving the greatest wound upon his foe he had ever managed before. The Brute betrayed the city-states and set into motion the Plain human flight from the Lands of Maria to Dophia, fought against the invading men with the Dreite, and lead glorious war for thousands of years and dozens of lives. He is violence, brutality, and the love of small cruelties. As he embodies Ondra Seir’s will he usually doesn’t commit outright atrocities but is far more cunning and underhanded than his divine father. 

The Brutes Ring of Power grants him the knowledge of the best move his foes can make but makes him blind to the plans of his allies. He bears the axe Shieldshear which has been enchanted to break wood all the easier and shatter most shields with a single blow. He forsakes dedication to a single weapon and over his lives he has become well versed in the uses of axes, swords, spears, various polearms, bows, and eastern martial arts. He is well versed in the arts of war, can organize, plan logistics, and train troops and form cohesive forces well. He has learned how to manage cities, organize civilians for civic issues such as fighting fires and forums. He is a capable city planner and the few cities he ruled grew substantially.  

The Brute is identifiable by his increased size, the scar that runs from his ear down to his lip, the lighting burn that runs from the crest of his head down his opposite cheek and down to his feet as well as a breaking of teeth. Every life he gains the traits and wounds. The Brute gains his immortal memories when he reaches his majority.
