Borrik Knotskull
He sees the body as blueprint, canvas, and battlefield—every bone a brushstroke.
Name: Borrik Knotskull
Race: Hobgoblin
Class/Role: Bonecrafter & Anatomical Engineer
Age: 61
Appearance: Borrik is tall and lean, dressed in a long, soot-darkened leather apron layered with bone charms, surgical loops, and stitched glyphs. His left arm is a beautifully engineered skeletal prosthetic, made of lacquered bone and gold pins. His face is sharp and symmetrical, marked with old ritual scars and a monocle he adjusts with precision. He smells faintly of antiseptic herbs and dusted calcium.
Backstory
Once a field medic during a brutal war between rival warbands, Borrik saw too many lives lost for lack of understanding. After the war, he went into exile and turned to study anatomy—not to harm, but to restore. Over decades, he refined a grisly but effective form of art: bonecrafting. He replaces limbs, fuses spines, and reinforces weakened frames. Though many see his work as macabre, those who wear his creations walk again.
He is not evil—merely practical. He speaks little of the “living constructs” he once helped design for a forgotten empire. Rumors claim some of his early experiments still roam the wastes.
