Uulmshar is a founder and councilor of the Mercenaries of Bitter Peak.
In-Character
Early life
Born in the Bitter Peak mountain city, to a human mother (father unknown, assumed elf), he was sold to a farmer from the southeast at the age of six. He plowed many fields, fed countless animals, and picked turnips until his hands bled. On the day of his fourteenth birthday, he fled the farm, back to the mountain.
Ranger
Having long disdained the company of other humans, and elves long since hidden, Uulmshar made a home near the peak of the mountain. For six years, he honed his body and mind and familiarized himself with the land. He lived only by his own strength, and grew to dislike the humans of the city below him even more, as they had to rely on the assistance of others to even eke out a pitiful existence.
When, war came to the mountain, he gladly threw himself at the feet of the charismatic Twisting Lord; one he proudly called Sir Lucien. The four lords of the land were fighting. Long had he wished to prove to himself of his strength of will and muscle.
Following the events of the Lords of Bitter Peak event, they easily beat back those that rejected his lord's rule, and solidified the loose society of mercenaries in the city-state of Bitter Peak. He designed a flag, and they carried it everywhere they went. They captured the lands to the east of the mountains, opened up old trade routes to the south, and claimed the island to the west.
Uulmshar suggested expanding beyond the island. His spies reported that the Knights of Solaris-the nobles ruling the Isles of Langerhausen- were weak and given to bouts of hedonism and apathy, and did not return any diplomatic attempts. Uulmshar gladly lead the rally to gather their men for war, yet, when they arrived, he witnessed a force many times larger than his. He had little worry, however, as Lucien and his council had made a glorious battle plan. It was bound to work.
As soon as the battle started, however, there rose a cry of "Knights of Solaris," but not from where he expected. Mortally wounded from an attack from behind, he fell as several more sword cuts buffeted his back. He passed into darkness as he watched the forces under his command slaughtered by their own.
Cleric
He died. He went to Hades.
While wandering the dark underworld, he was approached by a powerful entity, of unknown figure. It was Hades in its true form. It spoke to Uulmshar of many things; of its influence over the mortal world, of the desire for more powerful souls under its command.
A deal was struck; Uulmshar would be given power over life and death, and Hades would be sent souls of great heroes.
After coming to on a ship headed back to Bitter Peak, Uulmshar immediately dedicated the majority of his efforts into this deal.
