I created this guy in some fluff I was writing and I felt he needed to be filled out better.
----------
After the deaths of his father and grandfather Thurak Grimluson decided a change of scenery might be a good idea to help him make something of his life. So he packs his belongings and his great grandfather's hammer and went to Tilea seeking fame and fortune. He was already a well-respected maker of armor and weapons before he made his journey to Trantio. Upon arrival he set up shop and soon his armor and weapons found homes in the armories of all the Merchant Families in Tilea. He is best known for his two most famous creations, Tilean Plate Armor and the Grimluson Decksweeper.
Tilean Plate Armor was his first creation after setting up shop in Tilea. Many had tried to make armor that would rival these created in the Empire and the Dwarfs Holds but all previous attempts to create stronger armor had failed over the centuries due to the substandard materials found in Tilea. Thurak came up with a way of using the materials and aligning them with runes to become stronger than the some of their parts. When it hit the market the Merchant Families all placed orders and order armorist tried to copy it but none were as strong as Thulak’s Original.
He then created the Decksweeper on commission for the Pirate Barbarossa. He designed it to quickly clear a path to allow men to quickly gain control of ships that were being boarded. Upon Barbarossa’s untimely demise Thurak put the weapon for sale to the highest bidder, who ended up being Barbarossa’s chief rival.
