Stroica Tsepesh

My name is Stroica Tsepesh . As with the rest of my family, I come from the mountainous region of Carpethia. I first came to Brittania at the behest of my brother Scorpio. Oh how I loved it here. Once again being with my brother and father, Drakan, spending my days in the fields playing my lute.

That was until the day my father was killed. We were all under the assumption that some terrible beast had taken his life. My days were no longer joyful. The family was in turmoil and Scorpio, as much as he tried, could not help ease my pain. He needed help and quickly sent word back to Romania for my uncle Vrolok to join us in these lands.

Soon after my uncle arrived he began an investigation of my father�s death. We all told him it was a beast that had slain my father, but he would not here of it. �No simple beast could have taken my brother! He was too smart for that!� he would repeat over and over again. I must admit that it did take my mind off of the grief, even if just for a little bit.

Terrible sadness and shock once again struck our family when my uncle discovered that indeed it was not a beast that had killed my father. I found out that while by father had waged war in northern Egypt, he had fathered a child with a local woman. This child�s name was Drakoth Tsepesh. My father sent gold and goods to him, but spent his days here with us. Drakoth became angry and jealous, renounced the name of Tsepesh and began plotting his revenge on my father.

It was he, who now goes by the name of Dikk Dynamite, that murdered my father whilst he slept! My uncle began a man hunt for Dikk. He would always get close, only to fail again. This went on for months, until one morning, my uncle was gone. I have no idea where he might be, but I am sure that my despicable half-brother has something to do with it.

So now I have abandoned my music and spend my time caring for the pets that my uncle has left behind. With the help of Scorpio and my uncle�s pets I know that we will be able to find him, and finally put an end to the evil that has fallen upon my family.
