Brigand
Captain Brigand
Brigand is the Captain of the Guard in a city called Bulwark. He is robust and confident, ready to help out any civilian who may need it. He is often quick with a joke, even if they don't always make sense.
Mental characteristics
Education
Brigand has had no formal education in any institution, but from a young age, he was educated on the ways of battle by his bandit tribe. He started with daggers and shivs and graduated to swords, axes, and polearms later. When he left his tribe and joined Bulwark, he was tutored by the previous Captain of the Guard on battle tactics and the maintenance/upkeep of defensive positions in a populated area. Brigand eventually won his first battle in a naval skirmish just off the coast of Drivel, using an intuitive tactic that sent his enemies fleeing. He was significantly rewarded back in Bulwark and was personally handed ownership of the title of "Captain" from his former mentor, being recognized as a powerful militaristic mind.
Employment
Brigand floated around from one group of mercenaries to another, fighting for gold. Still, eventually, he realized that mercenary work as he saw it was not a good fit for him, and he wandered the lands, searching for odd jobs someone might have for some coin. Most often you would find him staring at a quest board, ecstatic that so many people could possibly want help from him. For about 10 years, he wandered the land, and in doing so, gained quite a reputation as a folk hero of sorts. One town was so enamored with his work and ideas, they wrote a song about him, to which he promptly demanded to be at its first public performance. Eventually, he entered Bulwark and enlisted as a soldier in their ranks.
