Torsten Hardrick Bandit

Torsten is 25, 6'4" tall, 260 lbs., with long blonde hair and green-hazel eyes, wearing his chain mail under rough-and ready leathers. He can be found in many taverns in the River Quarter, and has lodgings at the notorious River Rat Inn, where he partly pays his way by throwing barrels about. Torsten is unofficial arm wrestling champion along the dockside.

Torsten is friendly to anyone who buys him a drink, especially with dwarves (whom he respects as tough fighters), although he calls male elves and half-elves "fairies." He likes Greyhawk, but is looking for a group of adventurers who need a strong fighter to go "bashin'." Torsten isn't too bothered about what he bashes as long as he has his sword, affectionately named Headslicer. But there's more to Torsten than this. He knows the Rhennee well and they treat him as an honorary Rhennee, and he is an expert on arms, having been involved in shipping them from Stoink, where he was brought up. He can judge their worth perfectly. His money is beginning to run out, so he needs funds, and will happily act as guide (to the Old City) and bodyguard if he can't find anyone to take him bashin'.
