Brutius, a closer look.
Destined to be the Human King and a born general, Brutius has sworn not to take the throne until Vesh Darkhand has been defeated. Riddled with scars and his face is a mosaic of battles – his body is broken but he still fights on regardless. Brutius is a grim man under whose blade has fallen Trolls, Orcs, Chaldakka, and even Slate-Spitters; all in an effort to win the trust of the fellow faction leaders and forge an alliance that could defeat the great evil that threatens the world.
