Erasmus

Lore

Erasmus and his brother, Nezznar, the Black Spider, were separated from their parents at a very young age after they were killed by a band of orcs. Because of this, Erasmus was a very angry child. He would spend the majority of his time fighting with his brother, until one day, he nearly killed him. He decided from then on, he would find a way to control his anger. He studied for years to get control of it, and he does well, for the most part. He still gets lost in his own anger whenever someone mentions anything bad about any member of his family. And when he's angry, he is a problem all its own.
