Background: Ducateon Holt Foundling (custom)
Karn was born to normal dwarven parents in Redlaen – a Dwarven Enclave within The Saelish of Dunstrand. He was born with a defect – a hypersensitive olfactory capability; This is how he got his nickname of “Bloodhound”. Every smell is amplified, and it was sheer torture for him. He cried all the time as a baby. His parents took him to the Varstock Holt (Ducateon Clan in the T’Yendi Hill of eastern Dunstrand) to see if the Dumastorian god might aid one of his people’s descendants and ease his suffering. Instead, they abandoned him there and so he was raised among the Ducateon, yet never part of their culture or society. Purposely kept on the outside, his more aggressive and chaotic nature ensured that they would never accept him completely. But the obligation they had to him as a foundling kept with them and they raised him till he was 17.
They instilled in him an appreciation of stone, its properties and lack of strong smell appealed to him and he sought out the quiet, dark places where the smells, sights, and sounds of a society were far away. In these deep dark tunnels and his quiet moments, he learned to resonate with the earth, to amplify his frustration and anger like a booming echo. He sought the solace of Him – Mod-r – from a young age. Soon he would go to seek out the priest caste who would teach him the stories of the people, and the spirits of the earth, sky, air, and water. He did this while spending 4 years in the Outholt, assisting with the construction of the public house of worship for Mod-r. Ducateon stone work involves far less mortar and other smell materials, and he grew to appreciate the way of stone as dictated by his ancestors.His focus was physical, and he learned to dislike musty scrolls of paper and tangy copper – he learned to make his way without the advantage of literacy and learned multiple languages instead. His resonance turned into a connection to the great thrumming that comes from deep in the earth. He learned to trigger that same vibration in himself and bring on the rage of the angry and violent earth when it shook from an earthquake.
He left his home at 17 and traveled east – away from the human conflicts. Through his travels, he learned to eat a boring, nutritious, and bland diet that minimizes its odor and taste. The special resonance in his rage allows him to ignore Dexterity penalties while raging, and he is deeply in touch with it, to the extent that if he is only using his Unarmored Defense, he can Rage an extra time in the same period. The only smell he has grown used to, that may cause him to wrinkle his nose but not disgust him outright, is the smell of blood. Within the western heartlands, he became an adventure racer. Physical trials of days to race overland, where he sought to burn out the rage that burned inside him. He spent money as fast as he made it, desperately searching for peace through exhausting himself in labor and his passions. Eventually, he came to grips with his anger and found relief in the smell of blood… and so he sought to drench himself in it and block out all other smells.
He returned to his homeland – the Grand Duchy of Dunstrand. Word came through The Saelish area that the elite troublemakers of the Barony of Crestwold were relaxing themselves and an opportunity might await there. And so he went to Torrelson’s Ford, and eventually connected with a group of goblin hunters. It did not take much to convince them of his talents.
