Artos Swinndale
Artos Vannard Swinndale
Artos is the oldest of the famed mercenary brothers. He is described as a squat, bearded man with a deep voice and a taste for good wine. His father, an alchemist, tried to teach Artos his trade, but soon found his son's interest in the trade were limited to mechanics and making things go boom. After Artos father died in an unfortunate lab accident Artos found himself as the head of the family and began to teach his younger brothers what he knew. When their hometown Valnik came under siege the Artos placed himself and his brother's at the disposal of the local authorities. The brothers were soon produced a steady stream of pyrotechnics and explosives to be rained down on the head of the besiegers.
After two months the siege was broken, in no small part thanks to Artos and his brothers, who not only produced weapons, but frequently employed them against the enemy. After this news brothers' talents soon got out and offers of employment followed. The Brothers, with Artos at their head soon began to take mercenary contracts to direct sieges, build artillery and develop devious weapons. They wandered throughout the north making money and building a reputation.
The Brothers soon established it was very dangerous to stiff them. One employer who failed to pay their fee was blown sky high when several barrels of black powder went off under his headquarters.
