They loved him but life wasn't easy, they barely scraped by. When Gormak was only fifteen his father took him out of the cave and led him along the mountains where they could overlook a small farm. His father had told him they were doing this because they must, not because they wanted to. The two of them, father and son snuck down to the farm and drew their weapons outside the door. Gormak had been frightened, so very frightened, and when his father kicked the door open his fears became real. An arrow it his father in the chest and he fell. Gormak ran. He didn't look back, he just ran, the tears forming in his eyes. Gormak hid in a cave overnight, before traveling exhausted back to his home; no sleep had come. When he arrived back at his house the door had been broken down and the room inside turned over. In the centre of the room lay his mother, a note pinned to her chest. Gormak knelt down next to his mother and took the note, numb with shock. The farmer had sent his goons after her, how he had known where they lived, Gormak did not know, but something in him snapped. The kind, soft, young dwarf turned into something different. Gormak headed out again. That night the farm house was burned to the ground and the occupents slaughtered. Gormak had watched the house burn for hours, releashing the sight, before setting off on his way. It's been thirty years since Gormak became a murderer, and he's killed many more since.

Gormak and the bandit spar for a short while before Gormak cuts the bandit in the leg. As the bandit stumbles Gormak severs his head in one clean blow, watching as the bandits body falls down.

When he was just 10 months old his parents were killed by spiders and Ettore was cast into a dwarven orphanage. Ettore slowly grew up in the orphanage, playing with the other children there. Ever since he had been there another dwarf named Jack had been his closest companion. Jack was several years older then Ettore and treated him like a brother. They trained together, side by side, becoming stronger, fitter and more skilled than any dwarf their age. Ettore had always were black shorts and a fine black hooded top, but the hood might as well have never been there since he never wore it. The dwarfs respected him for his morals and pride, and they never uttered a word against him. And then his life changed. Ettore and Jack had been out hunting when they'd been attacked. They came, what they were Ettore could not tell for their faces were covered. An arrow had whistled out of the darkness and struck Jack in the leg. Ettore dived into the bushes and ran, it was all he could do. He'd seen them, all fifteen of them and he couldn't take them all on, he'd return for Jack when he could be sure it was safe. Ettore took to the trees and watched from above as they bundled Jack into a cart and drove off. When Ettore tried to follow he was ambushed by three of the hooded figures. The battle lasted twenty minutes and when they finally lay dead at his feet Ettore set off after Jack. It was no use, the cart was too fast and Ettore would never catch up. He hunted for Jack for many years, but it was in vain. Ettore found no trace of the kidnappers, but he knew he would never give up. When Ettore returned to the dwarfen halls he was a changed person. He took to escorting traveling dwarfs on the dangerous roads, hiding in the shadows and remaining unseen. And Ettore became know across the land.

As they advance on Ettore he throws the knife out and it hits one of the bandits in the neck. The surviving bandit is stunned and watches as his freind keels over.
