Trygve

Trygve

Not much is known about the orc's background, other than he has lived on a farm and worked as a mercenary.
The happy-go-lucky Trygve met the party while escorting Hallie Vérani to her fiancé's household. He ditched this job after demanding and accepting payment from Amelia Ravenclaw and Fionna Shadowfang to instead escort Hallie while accompanying the two friends.
He travels with the party without fully understanding what is going on.
Due to an unfortunate chain of events and much theorizing alone in a very drunken state, Trygve has since made his most pressing goal to keep Hallie safe, even and especially from elements within the adventuring group.
