You were born amidst the towering arctic mountains, axe and spear in hand.  From an early age, you displayed unmatched ferocity and unyielding spirit, but there was also a darkness about you.  Even by the time you were a young teen, you displayed not just bravery, but unmitigated savagery on the battlefield. As you continued to hone your physical prowess, the burning rage within you only grew hotter. Now, you brim with tremendous bloodlust. The life of adventuring suits you, especially a life in pursuit of dangerous battles, as you look for any opportunity to unleash your inner demon.
