Rurick knows little about his family or his background. As far back as he can remember there has always been conflict. Whether he was forced to fight the wilds of the Winterlands and all the harshness they entail, or his first conflict with the living. Much of his memory is a white haze either created to block horrific memories or because much of his childhood was spent waist deep in snow.

 

His first memory he can recall was meeting his mentor/father figure Detran Halfgraden who educated him in blood and taught him the ways of the axe. Rurick looked up to him and followed him everywhere which eventually led him to join the Grey Legion. After years and years of conflict for various causes Rurick has found himself at an impasse.

 

The Legion had called upon Detran however not himself. Having lost his only connection to others he now seeks adventure and a cause worthy of his talents. Little is known about where or why Detran was called upon. However, Rurick feels simply that he was not strong enough to accompany him.

 

Rurick will continue to seek out the strong and fight for a cause that will continue to test his abilities and eventually lead him to be called alongside his Mentor once again.
