Languages: Giant or Orc
Equipment: Traveler's Clothes, Brass Knuckles (1d4 unarmed strike), Pouch with 10gp.
Feature: Quick to Violence[edit]
The brute views everyone with paranoid actions and physical confrontation and because of this fact he thinks everyone wants to fight. He always starts a conversation with aggravation.
