Personal history
Originally part of a raiding party. Her raiding party was defeated in combat during a raid which led to the capture of herself and two other minotaurs - her mate Galdar and Kyris, her raid chief.
The three of them were sold to a slave owner in Dernum and forced to fight in his pit. She was forced to fight Galdar first and she killed him with mercy and kindness. She was then forced to fight Kyris and killed him out of anger for his poor raid planning.
Once she survived her "initiation battles" her slave owner branded her and she was his.
Before Tessen, Galdar, and Kyris were out raiding, Tessen and Galdar were trying to have children. When they were taken, Tessen was pregnant and she lost the child during her fight with Galdar before she could peacefully and lovingly end his life.
Later that night she had the evidence of her miscarriage from Galdar stabbing her stomach. He did not know she was with child, and she didn't have the chance to tell him.
In the next few days, she had no rational thought. She knew she would have to fight Kyris. She lost her child and mate because of Kyris and his bad, selfish choices. She lost her child and mate because of these slave owners. During the day, she would thrash in her cell. During the night, she would wail and smash her fists and face into the wall.. letting blood flow and her anger grow. The day she fought Kyris she relished in his death and bathed in his blood. She wished she could continue killing him over and over again. The slave owner, Graghog Mudbelly, enjoyed this.. enthusiasm, and kept her around because of it.
After ruthless, bloodied fights Tessen won her freedom back and made her way towards Saltwind on foot until she met the party and settled her roots within them.
