Krash Wanderford
Krash Wanderford may have the outward appearance of a human, but anyone who knows him can see that he is a canine at heart. He grew up on the open fields of the Burning Lands among the cult of Pyromaniacs. Even these fanatics, who are known for their savagery, were unable to control Wanderford as a youth, who preferred to spend his time running with the Cerberus of the Ashlands. Although the mutated dogs never let humans anywhere near them, they welcomed the peculiar Krash into their midst and he spent many years growing with them and learning from them.
One day a Torch caravan led by General Yuto discovered a ferocious and grizzly man among one of the packs of wild dogs as they passed. This sight was strange enough, but what caught Yuto's attention was the raw speed of the wild man, who could outrun any of the long-legged canines with ease. He ordered the wild man captured, and after an eight month period of education and conditioning, Krash Wanderford was enlisting as a representative of the Torch to be a professional Gladiator of Moxian battle.
Krash is by far the fastest of the Gladiators, and while he is not particularly skilled with any weapons, he is incredibly resourceful and strong in combat. He was allowed to keep his wild and unkempt appearance, his long shaggy hair, and a couple of his canine friends as companions. The Gloridax masters have not yet decided if they intend to allow him to use dogs without violating the rules of single combat in gladius gloriae. They will most likely be allowed simply because they will present a more exciting show for the spectators.
