Thoradin Shatterstone

Thoradin Shatterstone

Thoradin Shatterstone was once the King of Miner's Peak in the Thunderpeaks. He was highly respected by his vassals and the other Kings in the region for his exceptional mining skills and craftsmanship. However, as Thoradin grew older, his desire to discover more resources in the mountain range put him at odds with the High King. This caused a rift between them, and Thoradin's standing began to fall.

Despite his diminished status, Thoradin remained a proficient fighter, though not an exceptional one. He was known for his stubbornness and determination, often pursuing a goal until he achieved it. Despite his brusque exterior, Thoradin was fiercely loyal to his people and his region, willing to do whatever it took to protect them from harm.

Unfortunately, Thoradin's fate took a tragic turn when he was ambushed and killed by the rogue knight, Melakor Stonehammer. However, Melakor did not let Thoradin's death be the end of his story. Through dark magic, Melakor raised Thoradin as an undead and now commands him as his minion, forcing him to do his bidding wherever he goes. The once-great King of Miner's Peak is now a shell of his former self, bound to serve Melakor until his curse is lifted.

Personality

However, his previous loyalty to his people and his region still lingers, and occasionally he will hesitate when ordered to do something that would harm them. Thoradin's undead state has also left him with a fierce hunger for flesh, which he struggles to control. He can be easily provoked into violent outbursts, and his twisted sense of humor often borders on sadistic.

He also possesses proficiency in combat and is immune to most non-magical attacks as an undead. Thoradin's determination is one of his greatest skills, often refusing to give up until he achieves his goals.
