His boots are held together by string. He carries a short sword on his belt.

Interaction:

Aataxus is hostile and aggressive in his interaction with others, but also cowardly and petty.

Background:

Aataxus was born in a slave camp outside of Greyhawk. His mother was a human slave and his father was an orc slave camp guard. In fact, Aataxus was the result of a rape of Aataxus' mother by the guard. She tried for weeks to somehow get out of the camp but was stopped by the guards and killed. The child, Aataxus, was forced to live in the camp for years until he was finally old enough to fight for the guards. He did so for a few months but had trouble killing other people and be killed by them. Eventually he found an easy way around this—he would kill the other slaves in the camp, but leave two alive: one that he could rape and beat up, and one that he could beat and rape. He enjoyed this game for five years until the camp was raided. He escaped with the other guards but vowed to get revenge on the adventurers that killed his guards. He wandered around Greyhawk for a few months until he ran across a group of sellswords who agreed to take him with them if he would help protect them.
