Merkar is the youngest of 12 children born to a poor farming family in the mountains of _________. Being the youngest son, Merkar was often excluded from the activities of the elder children. With 8 brothers already helping with the hard labor of the farm, Merkar was usually able to slip away undetected and meddle in all things non-farm related. Knowing he would not be missed when the farm work was done, Merkar needed to find ways to keep himself entertained. Often Merkar found himself exploring caves and attempting to build fortifications within their walls. Through trial and error Merkar developed an interest in construction that would serve him well in his later years.

Through his isolation, Merkar never learned to read and rarely interacted with other people. Although no smoothtalker, he is very intelligent and can out-think many adversaries even if he cannot fast-talk them. Through the years Merkar has compensated for his poor social skills by honing his combat abilities. His brute strength and compact stature make him extremely well suited for close-quarters combat, while his intelligence and interest in caves and darkness makes him adept at some of the more covert aspects of the adventurous life.
