Biography:
 Childhood years:
  Rich was born to poor peasant parents, who loved him dearly and struggled to keep their family together.  Rich spent many afternoons doing odd hard labor to help keep his family from going broke feeding his insatiable appetite for good food.  The long hours of tedious labor gave Rich a extremely strong work ethic, and well defined muscles.
 Teen years:
  All too soon Rich discovered the allure of females, while his upbringing hadn’t taught him the best manners, his attention of things to say to women allowed him to learn by rote many things that women like to hear.  He also quickly discovered that many of the females liked the physical strength he had developed from years of hard labor.  Sadly he also discovered that women often liked men to have well developed financial assets as well, which led to his career as a sword for hire.  The pay was good, you were always meeting new and exotic women,it put all of his best assets to work for him, and best of all he never got tied down to any one woman for a significant length of time.
Current:
  Rich has recently arrived in Brindol after having been away for some time, unfortunately he has blown most of the money he made on ale and whores and has little more than the clothes on his back (his good clothes having been hastily left on the floor of an angry farmers barn), and his equipment which was with his fellow mercenaries.  He is currently in search of new employment, as said farmer knew to which company he belonged and was sure to have a chat with his former commanding officer.

  Searching for a new company in Brindol provided more excitement than most would have wished for.  While relaxing at a local tavern a group of goblin warriors arrived and attacked the town.  As the goblin hordes broke into the tavern assault the locals they managed to kill the pretty young lass serving Rich his ale.  The foul hobgoblin that did the deed did not survive to gloat over his kill, as Rich valiantly rushed him to defend the poor departed lady.  his heroic intervention also saved several other townsfolk, but Rich was inconsolable at the death of the young girl, whose name Rich had not even learned yet.  After defeating the local infestation of goblin filth, Rich helped many of the other poor newly widowed women put out the fires that the goblins had started during the raid.  Finally after working hard most of the night Rich was exhaust and got a few hours of sleep before meeting with the local councilman about the goblin attack.
  The councilman told Rich and the new comrades he had met at the tavern about the abductions of a young female acolyte by the goblins, Rich vowed to rescue her and to work toward keeping her safe from the evil monsters that would abduct a pure young woman such as she.  Also some other townsfolk of some importance had been kidnapped as well, as well as several important items being looted from the towns armory.  The council member offered the small band of heroes a reward for the return of both the town folk and the items.  The group interrogated a hobgoblin prisoner that had been taken during the raid, and learned that their leader Sinruth was hiding out near some place called Rivenroar.  They headed out after the goblin army, searching for clues to the place named Rivenroars location, ending up in the dwarven town of Red Rock, where they finally found someone that knew of the location.  Apparently the old castle had been sacked during the raids of the band of the red hand some decade earlier.  While the party was making its way toward the castle they were beset by a nest of Kruthik, while the nest took a lot out of the party they were finally able to defeat them and proceed toward the keep.
  upon arriving the ruins the group noticed that the gates seem to be magically held, while the rest of the place was in ruins.
