'Big' Chef

Chef, but invariably refered to as 'Big' Chef is a Runic Giant who hails from a isolated community of giants in the hinterland of Owlbia.

Early Years
'Big' Chef was born and raised in Kismir Hullow, home to a small community of Runic Giants who descend from those who inhabited the Runic Raider ports which used to mark the nearby coastlines. The Runic Giants of Kismir Hullow are somewhat savage. They make their living raiding nearby towns, stealing goods and people, whom they force to work in their underground mushroom farms, or whom they have been rumoured in deep winter to cook and eat. Chef always found this life disagreeable, both in moral and culinary terms. Chef was often found talking and bringing soup to the kindapped humans and halflings. This conflcit came to a boiling point when a teenage chef took several of his slave friends back to his house to cook them dinner. His family returned home finding these slaves out of place, and in the main house, where they weren't allowed to be. They therefore killed them imediately. Upon finding this out, Chef flew into a rage killing or injuring his whole family. The only survivors were four of his twelve brothers. Following this, he immediately fled Kismir's Hullow and Bogney Moor.

Roaming Years
After leaving Kismir Hullow chef roamed around the region. He lived in many cities of the region, but was everywhere met with hostilities. Even in The Gnomish Cities, the most tolerant cities in the region, he was unable to shake the reputation that came with being a Runic Giant. Here he tried to get jobs as a Chef in inns and taverns, and eventually tried to establish his own. But people just didn't want to eat food cooked by a Runic Giant, as many believed he cooked using human meat. The more Chef saw of the world, the more he saw repeating patterns he had lived with in Kismir Hullow. People hurting people without thinking, in order to survive. Some suffer, while others thrive. He decided to set aside his dreams of being a chef in order to make the world a better place. For several years he worked independtly, offering his services to anyone he could, asking only for the cost of living. However, while still in The Stewarctic Sea region, he found little work. Eventually, a friend introduced him to The Guild, and told him that through the Guild he could travel far away and help them there. His decision to join up was partly made for him when his four larger brothers showed up in town looking for him.
