A powerful brute of a man, barrel chested and rugged. [Think Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams) on steroids.] Kor is a rarity among a rare breed of men. He is a hardy realist as well as a cunning and skillful warrior. Appearing to be in his lat 40s or early 50s, he has the hard look of a life spent fighting the mythical monsters and other evil forces of the land. A barbaric warrior through and through, he believes in cold steel, a strong arm, perseverence and the skills he's nurtured since birth over all else.

An extremely imposing man, Kor stands almost 7 feet tall and weighs in at over 400 lbs of dense bone and muscle. His hair is a great gray mane about his head and his beard is well groomed, but thick and peppered with white. Huge powerful hands depend from massive forearms and wrists end with calloused fingers tipped by strong square cut nails. His smile is strong and white, but his canines are startlingly prominant and set in a stubborn lantern jaw.

Aside from his almost unnatural size, strength and hirsuteness, the physical attribute that causes devout men to pray for him and superstitious peasants to make ward signs in his passing, are his eyes. The feral animal orbs resting in his skull seem to glow with a sickly amber fire at night or in certain light and are more like those of a wolf or bear than any human.

Kor has a wry sense of humor and enjoys irony more than most. He's a basically good man, frustrated by the world around him and most of the people in it. His days are spent trying to improve his lot in life as well as those he considers friends or allies. Living by his own code of honor, he is brutal, but fair and tolerates injustice not at all. He honestly does not know if he can make a difference, but will keep trying unto his last breath.
