Mystaran Campaign: Bartok of Moundsdeep

Bartok of Moundsdeep
Lawful Neutral (lawful evil) Barrow Dwarf; Str 15, Int 10, Wis 9+9(18), Dex 9+6(15), Con 12+10(22), Cha 6+9(15)

Description: Physical height 4'10", black hair and eyes, long hair and beard, wearing black leather armour, wielding a battle axe in combat.

Background: Bartok was one of several Dwarf loyalist supporters to an exiled Dwarf King of a clan who spent their last centuries living beneath a Barrow mound near the village of Sulescu. Commanded by his aging king to find a solution to death by old age that the king might seek revenge, he located a nosferatu who could be used to turn the dwarf clan.
Bartok, at the command of his exiled king became a nosferatu along with the rest of the exiled ones- though he did betray his king by having the Nosferatu Child Mirsa Sulescu infect each of the dwarves individually rather than just the king- avoiding establishing a hierarchy of servitude within the clan. Unfortunately his clan became enslaved by Mirsa Sulescu for the next century and a half.
