Took - Dwarven Axeman

Took was the firstborn of his siblings, and by the time his youngest brother Hook was born, Took had become the strong figure that all his siblings looked up to. When they worked in the family mine, Took acted as the Foreman in lieu of their father when he could not be present. When their father passed, Took rose to the occasion, becoming the family’s patriarch. Under his direction, their family flourished, until their way of life was threatened by the appearance of the Dark Queen Mallory, who demanded the mines of the Baranook family, and the entirety of their ore output. Took resisted, uniting his brothers in a valiant stand against Mallory and her minions. He was the only survivor among those who stood against her that day. He was spared, forced to carry the burden of his perished siblings. He was not even able to bury them, with Mallory’s minions carrying their corpses away for the wicked plans she held for them. Those plans have now come to light, seeing that they have been reanimated, years later, and used as her pawns in defending herself from the ever-growing resistance to her imposed rule.
