Description
Krankas was once one of the kingdoms top Gladiators, he fought in the fight pits and city's arena, gaining coin, fame and glory, there was a time when he was the talk of the city, he held the crowds in the palm of his hand and people from all over the kingdom came to see him fight!
Wealth, fame and women where his, there where none who could stand against the Gladiator in combat!
In time, Krankas had made enough coin to purchase his freedom, but before he left the life of a fighting slave behind, he agreed to fight one last time, the allure of the Arena and roar of the crowd proving too strong a pull for him to resist!
Unfourtunately for Krankas, this last fight proved to be one too many... He lost, sustaining hideous injuries and spilling his blood across the sand!
Close to death, Krankas only chance at survival was surrender, and so he dropped his weapons, and fell to his knees to beg the game editors mercy...
He was granted life, but retired from the arena a scarred, dissgraced and broken man.
In his hayday, Krankas was a tall, athletic, muscular man with shoulder length golden hair and a smile full of misscheif;
These days however, time, old injuries and drink have diminished the mans apperance somewhat, he still pocesses some strength and there are few more experianced, but now much of the muscle is shading to fat, lines mar the mans face, as do the hideous scars of his final Arena battle.
Personality
Once Krankas smiled easily, confident of his own prowess and legend he would talk freely and often without thought, taking a love for the finer things in life his victories in the Arena bought him, wine, women, fame and all manner of other pleasures...
However those days are long gone, now Krankas spends most of his days in the Local tavern, a twisted and bitter man, his injuries still pain him and he does little more than drink and remeniss about his glory days to any that will listen.
In his drunken throes, Krankas often curses the gods for his fate, and prays, begs the hevans for a way to redeem himself, to return to past glories...!
What Krankas truly needs, is something to give his life purpose again... a great and honourable quest, perhaps..?
Equipment
Although he has not adorned it in years, Krankas fights in his old Gladiator armour-
Bare chested, clad in loincloth, vambraces, cloth leg wrappings, he is armoured with a Manica (a segmented metal armguard) and a Galea (a large bronze helmet with an ornate, face grill visor.)
He weilds a Sica (a curved sword) and Gladius (A stabbing sword).
These days however, the armguard, helmet and swords sit unused in the chest in his rooms at the tavern, ocassionaly Krankas will get them out, and try to recapture the thought of glory days...
