A Barghast warrior among the Bridgeburners, Trotts brings formidable strength and a sharply individual sense of humor to the company. He is rarely separated from the charms, trinkets, and trophies decorating his burly frame, a collection that makes him seem like a bedecked leadwood tree. His patience and steady companionship give his fierce appearance a more human, quietly memorable edge.
Description
Trotts is a burly, wide-shouldered man with black hair gathered into a ponytail and braids knotted with charms and fetishes. Blue woad tattoos mark his face and bare arms, set against the pale lines of old scars; his teeth have been filed to points. His sturdy body is crowded with charms, trinkets, trophies, and other ornaments, lending him the look of a small, heavily decorated tree. He carries himself with unhurried patience, and his imposing presence is softened by an unmistakably odd humor.
