Ronk

Ronk was a member of the adventuring group Glorious Victory. As a member of this group, he travelled the Karlands and traveleld to the Xal'Anath Empire to fight in the Colosseum of Ekmat, where he was slain by Emperor Maleth.

Appearance
Ronk is a physically imposing character, not afraid to get up close and personal. Posessing a typical build of a half-orc, he also has lightning tattoos on his forehead which glow as he unleashes more of Talos' power.

Personality
Ronk is known for his desire to use his powers whenever possible. He thrives in chaos and genuinely enjoys when things go off the rails.

Background
Ronk was abandoned as a child and left on the streets, where he was taken in by followers of Talos at a nearby temple. He grew up with these followers and became an ardent follower of Talos with a soft spot for Gruumsh. While trying to spread the word of Talos, he was arrested for indecent display, using his powers irresponsibly in a crowded area.

With Glorious Victory
Ronk met the other members of Glorious Victory while they were held in a prison in the Karlands. They escaped together and found themselves adventuring as a group. Together they made a name for themselves as outcast heroes, and eventually found their way to Ekmat to participate in the Colosseum, which was promising glory, riches, and a spot on the Emperor's personal guard to all champions of the colosseum.

Colosseum & Aftermath
Upon arrival at the Colosseum, the group talked to fellow gladiators Ressi & Monaldo, who were far less confident than this group in their odds. They entered the colosseum, and faced and vanquished a number of foes. The lions, the bandits, the elementals, and Rothis, King of the Jungle.

After defeating their challenges, the Emperor decreed that in order to truly be champions of the colosseum, they must fight eachother to the death. Unwilling to do this, the group took up arms against the Emperor. Unfortunately for them, however, this was a plan by the Emperor to allow himself a justifiable situation in which he could display his true power to his new empire. The group fought bravely, however all of them were slain by the hands of Emperor Maleth. Backstage, after the battle, Maleth noted that his use for them isn't done, and raised their corpses to serve him in the future.

Ronk along with the rest of the group have only shown up since in scattered stories from across the lands as a roaming task force of specialized undead forces which disappear as quickly as they arrive and leave only destruction in their wake.

Character Abilities
Ronk's powers are devised from his connection with Talos, and as such he is granted control over the elements. He is extremely strong with crowd control abilities as well as the ability to dish out huge damage with offensive spells.
