Pathfinder: Saga of Fate/Tir'Vak

Tir'Vak is a trox barbarian who wields a greatclub and enters rage to enhance his physical prowess in battle. Tir'Vak starts out as an NPC ally to the first party, but joins the second party as a playable character later in the game.

Before Saga of Fate
Tir'Vak was born into slavery in a small mining village in Druma. The village mainly consisted of wealthy families that benefited from the rich ore deposits there. To obtain these precious ores, these families owned trox slaves and made them mine them.

Tir'Vak was a slave for the Iulus family, at the head of which was Galvius Iulus. Tir'Vak mined a series of ore deposits by the Iulus household for his entire childhood.

Galvius's young daughter Claudia watched Tir'Vak mine ores by himself and she thought he must feel lonely with no one else to talk to. Galvius told Claudia that it was dangerous to talk to the slaves, and that she shouldn't go near him. Claudia didn't listen to her father and would visit Tir'Vak and talk to him when her father wasn't watching. Tir'Vak appreciated the company, and Claudia became his only friend.

One day, however, Claudia was caught talking to Tir'Vak, and Galvius whipped him 50 times, telling him to never talk to his daughter again or the punishment would be even greater. Claudia didn't want Tir'Vak to be lonely, but she even less for him to get hurt, so she stopped talking to him, but occasionally left flowers by Tir'Vak's living quarters to show that she still cared.

Then, in the year 4740, when Tir'Vak was 15 years old (a young adult in trox years). The other Trox in the village staged an uprising, slaughtering their masters and their families, leaving all but the Iulus family in their wake. The other trox freed Tir'Vak from his shackles and the leader offered him the honor of killing his former master. TIr'Vak declined, so the leader decided to kill the Iulus family himself. Tir'Vak, while eager to see Galvius pay for abusing him, stepped in on behalf of Claudia.

The leader of the rebellion deemed Tir'Vak a traitor to his own kind and the rebels left him to be captured by military forces sent from a nearby town. The guards originally intended to execute TIr'Vak on the spot, but Galvius, who was grateful for Tir'Vak's selfless deed, fought to lessen his sentence.

Unfortunately the sentence was, at best, slightly better than death. Tir'Vak was sent to a mining prison in the Five King's Mountains to work under even harsher conditions than in his last position.
