Born in a drafty hut on a snowy day, Ugurd Krarx was born to an impoverished and isolated family, dwelling west of the Frozen Pines. She was rejected and largely accepted to be the “mistake” by her family. Moreover, Ugurd showed an uncanny resemblance, in appearance and curiosity, to her grandfather; the sole cause of her family’s current predicament. For her family, the Krarx, were exiled from Sanjezal, over 160 years ago due to her grandfather’s dangerous and uncontrollable experiments.
Ugurd learned quickly, teaching herself the intricacies of chemistry, biology, and some basic fighting techniques. This continued for 18 years, until Ugurd found a shred of paper half buried in the snow, dropped by a traveling merchant days before. It was an announcement from Carolustadt, offering handsome payment to skilled assassins and hitmen in the area. Ugurd desperately wanted to answer the call, but knew her family would prevent her from leaving at any cost, for as much as they complained, her trapping skills were necessary to their survival. So Ugurd hatched a fiendish plan, a plan to take revenge on her oppressors and allow her to live her life as she chose.
Under the cover of darkness, she suffocated her family with a large piece of mammoth hide, one by one, their muffled screams barely penetrating the frozen walls of the family’s hut. She adorned assorted furs and articles of clothing from the house, covering her face, muffling her voice, and hiding her species from prying eyes. Unless one payed close attention, they would not know she was anything but a human woman. From this point, Ugurd renamed herself to Snaga, which roughly translates to “slave”, after the nickname her siblings gave her.
Years passed in service to the Carolustadt nobility, until one night she and her coworkers were sent to assassinate a wealthy family leaving the city. But, instead of completing the job, she took pity on a young boy. She accompanied him to Sutica, offering protection, in exchange for a large salary. Currently resides in Sutica, taking odd jobs to intimidate, perhaps even kill, and when times are tough, she steals what she needs.
