Taven
Taven (a.k.a. "The Hunter")
At a very young age Taven lost the only life he had ever known when his village was attacked. Most of the settlement, his friends, and more devastatingly, his parents, were all killed in the raid. Taven was forced to move in with his Uncle and Aunt in a neighboring community that was shelted by the protection of the Flaming Fist mercenary army. He grew up learning the ways of a soldier, and eventually enlisted as a new recruit, just as his Uncle and Aunt had done before him.
His entire career he climbed the ranks, with the support of his only surviving family members. He eventually became a General and found himself responsible for the lives of his unit. By this time, some other, younger, members of the Fist had been promoted to higher ranks around Taven. There had seemed to be some sideways deals going on within the organization and even some agreed contracts that did not sit well with Taven and his honor. He had stumbled onto some dark things going on and he decided that it was his time to retire from the only thing he dedicated his life to.
Once again, his entire life was reset.
After leaving the Fist, Taven made a living by using his soldier-given talents as a Bounty Hunter. Over the last couple years, Taven had become one of the most well-known Bounty Hunters in and around Baldur's Gate and had earned the title as "THE Hunter" people would want for their jobs. There had been a contract or two where even old associates of his, Flaming Fist members, were his target. He'd carry out those jobs successfully and move on to the next one.
The corruption inside of the Fist bled out into those in leadership in Baldur's Gate. Taven joined a small group who attempted a Coup to remove this evil power from the city, however the attempt was in vein...Now, Taven finds himself looking face-to-face with one of his old Captains (Captain Darmin Zodge ), who is now leading Taven's new found friends into a suicide mission against Followers of The Dead Three .
