Rawshax

Rawshax, a dwarven barbarian ruling the criminal underworld of Loveday. Part of the trinity of power alongside Inkheart and Galeon, he runs the bloodstone gang, a group of weapons for hire. He aspires to gain control over the entire underworld and do away with the other leaders and take their businesses. Captured by marauders and sold into slavery at a young age, he was thrust into the world of pit fighting where he eventually earned his freedom, at the cost of his humanity. Earning the nickname bloodstone after he smashed in the head of an opponent with a rock during his first fight he quickly gained popularity. After earning his freedom he gathered a gang of followers around him consisting of mainly other pit fighters.

One might think that he would have tried his hardest to find a way to end the pit fights once and for all he instead took control over all the pits he could find, recruiting any followers he believed to be worthy (and either killing or selling the others) before eventually settling in loveday where he runs a very lucrative arena and mercenary business. Rawshax has no concern for other lives but his own, and when he finds meets new people he quickly decides whether they are someone he would like to recruit, enslave, kill or use. Because of this he has no real friends views all in his gang as expendable. He has a bitter grudge against Inkheart after he bought his priced arena champion, Orilo Karlago, his freedom and enlisted him as his personal bodyguard.

Tall for a dwarf, Rawshax almost resembles a mountain with all his muscles. Spouting a bloody red head of hair bound in a long braid down his back and magnificent beard. His eyes are grey, but some, who have faced him in battle and lived to tell the tale say they turn black with evil when he smells blood.
