Track her history, examine the relatives and what they did, where they came from. Utes sounds a little bit like Tholtig Lite. I wonder how far the similarities go.
Alright, I tracked down her family history a bit.
The majority of Utes' family lived in the goblin town of Lucidjackals until the Empire of Fins conquered it in 96. At that point, her entire family dispersed into many directions, with most of them becoming small pockets of resistance:
- Her parents are alive and well. They have no real history other than being "one of the first of [their] kind" and becoming part of the same bandit group after fleeing Lucidjackals.
- Utes' older brother, Dang Scourgeseared, led a more interesting life than their parents. His wife was murdered by another goblin who was, in turn, shot in the head by an invading human. Of the 21 kids he has, only two of his daughers survived, with six dying in the war and the rest dying of other causes. His two daughters ran off together and join the same bandit group. When the Empire of Fins came for Lucidjackals in 96, Dang was already the leader of a criminal organization in the town. Apparently he was bribed or something to betray his fellow goblins since he is a participant in the battle against his sister in 111 and is listed as a full member of the Empire of Fins and a former member of the Ghoul of Flares.
The most important piece of information I found is where Utes' allies are coming from. Almost all of them are former slaves of the Empire of Fins who eventually found their way to Werechained (not like they had any other towns to go to). Quite a few of them are related to Utes, actually. I like to think that her brother attempted to sell his entire family as slaves.
Here are a few of the more interesting former slaves and allies of Utes. A lot of them are just Utes' family members. It also turns out I was right about their berserker rage keeping their population in check, though I haven't seen anything about family members murdering other family members.
- Smunstu Scorpianesteemed, Utes' husband. (escaped 119 and reunited with his wife to fight the elves in 127; murdered by Osnun Confusedsin in 136)
- Osnun Confusedsin, distant cousin of Smustu Spiderlashed (escaped 126; fought in two wars and murdered in 146 by Scorpianesteemed's brother, Ber Desertsteal).
- Smunstu Spiderlashed, distant cousin of Osnun. Her grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles were all killed in the war with a few exception who died in other horrible ways (escaped 138, killed in war of 142).
- Ber Desertsteal, elder brother of Scorpianesteemed, younger brother of Osnun, brother-in-law of Utes (escaped 135; still alive)
- Osnun Jackalspread, brother of Smunstu and brother-in-law of Utes (escaped 139, fought in the two wars with the Dented Confederacy; survived).
- Dang Terrorchanneled, Utes' youngest son born in 123. Murdered in 149 by Keth Creaturefigured.
- Keth Creaturefigured, a human child that Utes abducted in 112. He defended against the rest of the invasions and was killed in the last one.
None of them were notable in any war prior to the war. Utes somehow turned this ragtag group of misfits and family members into a killer force, with Werechained acting as a beacon of hope for escaped slaves.
I've had several things like this. The best one I remember were two elves who defended their city side-by-side, gathering I think about 2,000 kills between them. They later died in battle somewhere else; I'll try to dig them up.
I also had a dwarf who spent his life killing megabeasts. He slew two dragons, among a host of others.
EDIT: found them
They broke in the Siege of Shocking, which ended fifteen years of war with the Dwarves.
They both died three years later, defending against the humans.
Whoa, cool. Were these elves related in any way? Are they the leaders of their civ?
