He is extremely religious hoping that his God can forgive him from his act of brutality. Character History Hender was born to Griler Greengrip and Pilini Hammerarm, both of the coglias clan. At a young age Hender was taught to wield weapons, hone his body and increase his physical strength. His young years were spent practicing with his younger brother Kilder Greengrip and the two boys developed a strong sibling rivalry, each trying to prove that Izurdin favored them the most. The boys constantly tried to out do each other in training, but also in craft, if one boy made an object the other would immediately try to create something grander. Kilder was the natural warrior, a true Coglias. His reactions and fighting instincts were always better than Hender, even though the latter was stronger. Hender did not necessarily enjoy his upbringing. He understood the need to train in weapons and defend his home, but it was never truly were his heart lay. From a young age he befriended a female Isur of the Terras clan called Fili and was envious of the amount of time she got to spend at the forge, perfecting an art form that Hender thought far nobler and more beautiful than fighting. Every free moment he would spend sneaking of to watch Fili and her clan work the forge and create wonderful objects. Hender was allowed to spend some of his time practicing blacksmithing, after all most Isur's pursued a craft of some kind, but his parents were always keen for him to spend the majority of his time training with Kilder. Despite the neglect his craft sometimes got he showed a natural ability for Blacksmithing not usually associated with his clan. Inevitably Hender began to fall for the charms of Fili and even more inevitable Kilder found out and himself took a fancy to the female Isur's charms. Kilder, being more bulshy than his older brother, was more blunt with his advances and as a result eventually began to whoo Fili, who seemed to forget about Hender whenever Kilder was around. For Hender this was the last straw with the rivalry, he felt his brother only wanted Fili because he wanted her and despised him for taking her from him. In a fit of rage Hender challenged his brother to a duel. It was a long and gruesome affair, each were recently men and both faught with a fury brought from years of rivalry. Eventually Hender prevailed and in an act that is he biggest regret removed him brothers Isurian arm from his body with a brutal strike that tore arm from shoulder. This destroyed his brother and tore his family apart. His parents wanted Hender punished for his hideous act and if he not managed to sleep away, he probably would have done. After the duel Hender fled pleading to Izurdin for forgiveness for his rage. Hender made his way to a port and boarded the first boat that would take him, not caring were it took him. Currently he lives In Syliras at Travelers Row, working on his art and trying to forget his past and earn the respect of his God. He is prone to mental breakdowns and feeling of endless despair and un-belonging. He desperately wants to find somewhere to fit in, but knows he can never go back to his home which constantly saddens him.
