Dane Kerr

Upon the completion of a successful adventure, Dane returned to an empty home. A neighbour broke the terrible news: his wife and children had been taken in the middle of the night about a month before. The village looked but couldn’t find them; no one knew how to reach Dane. For the next 3 years, he searched. He walked every road, talked to every stranger, and paid thieves for information. Nothing. So he returned to the road. He worked alone for a while before joining a party, then quit to return to life as a mercenary. He can’t feel close to people anymore. He’s tired of people’s concerns and questions. No one could understand this emptiness. Killing was the only thing that filled the void, but it was always over too soon. Then he realized that he appreciated the distraction of pain. He sold his shield and began taking on more dangerous jobs. He hurts, but it’s a welcome diversion for his attention. When the pain fades, the void is there again. Time to work.
