About

One of the most polarizing figures in the city is the ogre baron. Popular with a few unethical nobles and many of the working class, this clown is loathed by the wise and educated. He has taken more and more power after running a chain of successful inns.

Yet he is actually a fraud who has bullied his way to fame and fortune.

Arrogant Oaf. The proud ogre baron believes he is rather intelligent. Nothing could be further from the truth. He can barely read and gets by using his charms and intimidation. His attention is often swayed by female creatures, as he is a sucker for a pretty face. Many of his inns are staffed by beautiful young women.

Noble Friends. This ogre came to power with the help of an influential group of nobles. They ignore the ogre’s cruelty, rude behavior, and xenophobia because they know the monster will further their economic and social agendas.

Angry Army. This ogre has a very committed group of angry, outraged followers. His supporters include a number of deluded priests, greedy merchants, and fiendish nobles. These deluded followers would probably support the ogre even if he killed an innocent person in broad daylight.
