Players of the Game Character Spotlight: Frulgrath

Frulgrath looks like something out of a nightmare.  A description he might even self-apply.

A lanky demon with dried-out, dingy tan skin and needle-width pointed teeth.  Armed with hand-axes that can penetrate energy shields, armor, and the flesh of dragons.  He also uses trinkets and various oils to render himself invisible or to add additional potency to his attacks, depending on the foe he fights.  His insides are full of dust, and he can heal from nearly any form of harm.

But not all harm.  His own axes are just as dangerous to him.   Frulgrath once had four arms.  He lost one when Ashe Stelfire lopped it off with the Demon’s own axe during the climax of The Brigands.  He remains exceedingly deadly with his remaining three.  And he craves payback against Ashe for the maiming.

Payback he aims to collect.

He has another name that Thebes gave him as a joke back when they were on the same side in Repenter.  But it’s since become far more serious to anyone who encounters him.

Hatchet Man.

He has served as Corsis’s agent throughout the ages.  He kills with ruthless efficiency, but he doesn’t revel in it.  Frulgrath is pragmatic and possesses a keen sense of what is realistic.  He also has a dry sense of humor, which Corsis enjoys.

Frulgrath is one of the few people who can speak bluntly to the Master of the Game.  Corsis will even sometimes listen to him.  But not always.

And Corsis has a new job for Frulgrath.  One that he’ll relay to the Hatchet Man through Balpors.  Find out about Frulgrath’s latest assignment in The Breakers.
