Julius

Description
The biggest man you have ever seen.  He has straight, dark unkempt hair and pale skin.  He carries a large hammer (War Maul) and wears an oversized hauberk of steel scale mail.  In battle he often likes to grab any nearby large (50-100lbs) object and toss it at his opponent crying out “Hey! … Fetch!”

History
Julius knows nothing of his family except that as a baby he was left at the doorstep of the cathedral and that he ‘ … was a very BIIGG baby’.  So Julius was raised by the church but ridiculed for being a simpleton by all, including those who professed themselves to be ‘Christians’.  As if that was not enough Julius has long had a vision that he will die if he ever finds true happiness.  He began work in the quarries at an early age as a means of avoiding the townsfolk and it also gave him a means to release pent-up frustrations.  Because of his great size eventually he came to the attention of the Bishop and was trained to be a soldier.  But he found no more acceptance among the Bishop’s men than with the rest of the townsfolk.  Many of the soldiers were bullies anyways and the increasingly dubious sounding orders from the Bishop seemed to make only these bad men happy.   So when a strange dark man in odd garb and accent came to the Captain and negotiated for Julius’ service, Julius was willing to go along.  At least it could not be any worse, … right?

Personality
Calm and level headed but morose and laconic; otherwise, Julius is basically a nice guy.  Use Fezik from the movie ‘The Princess Bride’ as played by Andre the Giant or Eore of the Winnie the Pooh stories as a model.  He is actually  neither as depressed nor as dim as he makes himself out to be, but Julius has long had a vision that he will die if he ever finds true happiness and so  mostly as a subconscious self-preservation measure he works hard at being depressed.  Julius would never admit it, least of all to himself, but he is lonely. So far the only thing he has found that he enjoys is the brutality of combat.

Quote
“Come here Julius move this rock, go away Julius you broke his head.  It’s the stooory of my life”  “Hey! … Come here!  Julius make you Squishy!!” – battle cry , “Hey! … Fetch!” – battle cry on tossing a large object
