Origin
Born in a clan of followers of Io, Talgruk was a brass dragonborn early in his twenties. For the last couple of years he had been tasked with taking care and training his little sister Tearez. One night, Talgruk woke up to the screams of his sister. There was a demon in their house and was coming after her. He immediately intervened and after using all his powers to stop the demon from taking his sister. He almost died in the process, but was able to convince the demon of possessing him instead. After enduring deep pain and a burning sensation in his back, he fell unconscious.
The moment Talgruk recovered his conscience, he noticed his eyes had turned pitch black. There was also a mark with three tears in the back of his shoulder as if burned by iron. He immediately packed his things, said goodbye to his sister and set out in search of a cure for this curse.
The voice in his head
The demon cursing Talgruk usually speaks to him as a voice that only he can hear. What he says doesn’t always make sense. But when it does it tries to make him kill anything that surrounds him. From time to time he might be seen talking while alone.
The voice communicates in Abyssal language.
Personality
He mostly has good intentions but has no regards for laws. Most of what he does is for what he understands is the greatest good and he benefit of his clan. He doesn’t talk a lot because his already occupied trying to silence the voice in his head.
Talgruk was a devout follower of Io but after he didn’t answer his prayers during the curse, he no longer trusts any deity.
