Dorn "Stonejaw" Magrin
Houndmaster, The Stonejaw Dorn Magrin (a.k.a. Stonejaw.)
- The Stonejaw is the Houndmaster in charge of security for the Crimson Hounds, known for his brutal combat style and unyielding loyalty. Dorn's primary responsibility is the protection of the guild’s headquarters, its members, and valuable contracts. His nickname comes from the many times his jaw has been shattered and reforged in battle, symbolizing his resilience. Dorn is feared both inside and outside the guild for his uncompromising nature and willingness to use extreme force.
Responsibilities:
- Guild Security: Dorn is responsible for overseeing the security of the Crimson Hounds' main base, The Kennel, as well as the guild’s various outposts. He ensures that the guild’s treasures, secrets, and members are protected from external threats and internal betrayal.
- Disciplinary Enforcer: Dorn is known for enforcing discipline within the guild. He handles insubordination and internal conflicts with an iron fist, often using public punishments to set examples for others. His role as enforcer keeps the guild members in line, but his harsh methods often create tension.
- Tactical Combat Leadership: Dorn occasionally leads combat-heavy missions, especially those involving heavily fortified targets or dangerous monsters that require brute force. His leadership in the field is brutal, straightforward, and effective, preferring raw power to clever tactics.
- Security Contracts: Dorn personally oversees the most dangerous protection contracts, ensuring that high-value clients and guild assets remain safe from any harm. His personal involvement in these missions often deters would-be attackers due to his reputation.
Personality:
- The Stonejaw is known for his unwavering loyalty to the guild and his superiors, particularly Guildmaster Aric Valcor. Dorn follows orders without question, and while his loyalty is admirable, it also makes him blind to the guild’s internal problems. He is driven by a sense of duty and honor, but his methods are harsh and often brutal. Dorn is quick to anger and has little tolerance for weakness or disloyalty, leading him to react violently when provoked. Despite his fearsome reputation, those who earn his trust find a staunch ally in him. However, his paranoia and grudges make him difficult to work with at times, as he is always on guard against perceived betrayals.
Titles:
- The Stonejaw is a title earned after countless battles where Dorn’s jaw was shattered and reforged, symbolizing his unyielding nature and ability to endure punishment. His presence alone often deters opposition within the guild, making him a figure both respected and feared.
Appearance:
- Dorn is a towering half-orc with a thick neck and broad shoulders. His grayish-green skin is marked with deep scars from battles long past, and his most distinctive feature is his misshapen jaw, a result of multiple breaks and reforgings. Dorn’s red eyes burn with intensity, constantly scanning his surroundings for any potential threats. He wears dark, reinforced leather armor designed for both protection and intimidation, adorned with the Crimson Seal. Dorn carries two massive war axes, weapons he wields with brutal efficiency. His physical presence is intimidating, and his grim expression rarely changes, giving him the air of a man who is ready to fight at any moment. His muscular frame and constant state of readiness make him a living symbol of the guild’s strength and security.
- Deed: The Troll King Hunt
- Dorn earned his title "Stonejaw" after a grueling hunt to take down the infamous Troll King of the Skarnhold mountains. The Troll King had terrorized nearby villages for years, and every attempt to kill him had failed due to his regenerative abilities and mastery of the rugged terrain. Dorn, however, refused to be deterred. With his unbreakable determination, Dorn hunted the Troll King for weeks, finally tracking him to his hidden lair in a cave fortress. In a brutal, days-long battle, Dorn shattered the Troll King’s defenses and beheaded the beast, his stone-like resolve earning him his title.
- Legacy: Dorn’s feat became the standard for legendary hunts within the guild, and his title symbolizes his unbreakable will and his ability to bring down even the most dangerous of enemies.
