Atrandi Goldheart
Atrandi Goldheart
The half-orc gladiator Atrandi Goldheart earned her name by relentlessly dispatching any opponent whom it profited her to kill, creating a popular legend that instead of a heart, she has only an abacus with beads of gold. While Atrandi never discusses her past, it seems likely that both her skill and her viciousness with her hooked blades are rooted in the scars of growing up half-human, and uncommonly beautiful, in Belkzen. Perhaps for similar reasons, the famously surly and short-tempered gladiator can be unexpectedly generous in taking younger women under her wing, especially if they are struggling against unwelcome men. Atrandi briefly worked for Torman Iates as one of his personal gladiators and palanquin-bearers, but the employment was short-lived and today she cannot stand him. The feeling is mutual. Iates foments distrust and disdain toward her among his remaining half-orc maidens and to anyone who will listen to him complain about her lack of respect for those who helped her at the beginning of her career now that she is one of the city’s most popular and successful gladiators. Unwilling to let the issue go, Iates has squandered a considerable portion of his personal fortune placing fruitless bets against her.
