Boasting a well-earned reputation as a genuine master of disaster, Durgen Madhammer is compelled to destroy with a fervor that goes beyond sadistic, completely oblivious of collateral damage. This lethal instrument of hostile intent is inflamed by the energy of conflict, greedily feeding on the bedlam of battle as he tears into his enemies.
Madhammer’s history is rife with catastrophe, due mostly to his preference for and reliance on unstable magic and devastating mechanika. He got his start working in his family’s mines ordering ’jacks and blasting tunnels but left the mines after several mishaps and significant loss of life. His kinfolk went so far as to have him legally excised from their clan. Hell-bent on becoming a warcaster, he spent two decades as a mercenary mechanik and battle mage.
Demolitions, elemental magic, and mechanikal know-how have transformed Durgen into a legendary mercenary. His small arsenal includes warjacks routinely pushed beyond their limits and in constant need of repair. Because the dwarf has gained a reputation for being deadly to friend and foe alike, few soldiers of fortune will intentionally work within leagues of him. Those desperate few who do stay well clear of his aim until he has literally blown his payload.
As he cackles madly amid detonations and discharges, Madhammer is often captivated by the complex beauty of the destructive energy he has unleashed. Drawing upon the turmoil of combat to drive him higher and higher, the dwarf rides the rush of battle on an ever-growing wave of devastation—to an eventual collision with an equally spectacular end.
