Character Profile - Trassig

Trassig is a dwarf who has worked in the underground of Detroit his entire life. His reckless attitude propelled him to the top of the dwarf society. Living underground in tunnels and caves has developed his attitude to the point where death is not something to be feared.

With a fighting spirit brewing within, Trassig looks for opportunities to go above ground and explore. He has a detailed knowledge of the city above and below ground. Trassig is in top physical condition for his size. He does not have any bio-upgrades installed, but instead prefers to use his instincts to stay alive.

Trassig likes to carry weapons that have been crafted by his people underground. He is a skilled shot with a pistol, but prefers the excitement of a good explosion. From neuro-grenades to choking smoke bombs, Trassig loves how explosives can bring equality to any fight.

Throughout The Rune Finder book Trassig follows our hero. Saving Logan in the city sewers is only the beginning to a mysterious and plot twisting relationship. Nobody is clear what Trassig's motives are, but when danger comes they are all glad to have him around.

Character Profile - Shiv

Abandoned by his horrified parents as a young boy, Shiv survived by scouring the back alleys for food. He spent most of his childhood wondering why he was different from others. It wasn't until one night when he was rescued by members of the orc clan that he realized he wasn't alone.

At just under seven feet tall he is considered a runt by his peers. Living within the clan means you are either rising to the top or being cast aside. The pressures of the clan culture drives Shiv to seek out other means of gaining an advantage. He goes through the horrifying experience of having bio-upgrades installed into his flesh.

Shiv has bio-actuators in both legs that allow him to jump across fifty foot gaps. He has an suprarenal stimulator next to his adrenaline gland. If he is injured in a battle the stimulator floods his body with excessive amounts of adrenaline to keep him alive. His deadliest weapon is how he earned his name. A long blade that springs out from his forearm.

Rising to the top of the orc clan he answers only to the head Boss. Through several deadly encounters, he leads an orc army in an assault on the city of Detroit. Does Shiv live or die? Will his army conquer the city or leave him in ruin?
