Early Life
Born in the mountains of the Wildlands among a Goliath tribe and raised communally, as is Goliath custom. Grew up close to his cousin Thavotuk and his aunt Mearoth, who helped raise him after his parents could not. His upbringing among the tribe shaped his quiet, dutiful nature and his instinct to protect others before himself.
Inciting Incident
- What Happened: A traveler came to his camp when he was 17 and showed him maps depicting Goliaths living elsewhere in the world, planting the idea that there was more out there for him.
- What It Cost: [What you lost, broke, or left behind]
- What It Changed: He left the tribe and has been traveling and taking farm work ever since, feeling called to something more than what he left behind.
Goals
- Short-Term: A little money for a comfortable life wouldn't hurt.

- What You Won't Do: [A hard boundary]
Flaws
- Personal Flaw: Years of being ignored or overlooked have made it hard for him to converse easily with others.
- Social Flaw: His low Charisma and quiet manner make it hard for him to find work or be taken seriously.
- Pressure Reaction: Seeing others mistreated takes him back to his own childhood; he won't go looking for a fight, but he's always ready to defend someone in trouble.
- Temptation: [The thing you struggle to resist]
Relationships
- Closest Bond: Hazen, a farmer, and his wife Liv, who took Aurgan in and gave him steady work and kindness.
- Unfinished Business: An old rat he once rescued and nursed back to health, who later disappeared without explanation.
- Party Connection: Met Anders at the port, who hired him for cargo work; met Ava at the market, where he helped her pick tomatoes.
- What You Hide: He dropped one of Anders' crates and it busted open — he still hasn't said what was inside.
- What Could Break You: [A betrayal you can't forgive]
