Bender the Gromek Wilderness Scout

“it has been sometime since I have seen a female Gromek.� The musk burns my wings with its thick black markings and I know my time here is short.� � I will slay the first to cross me today, may his blood satiate my thirst.”

Bender is pissed.� He goes on a patrol outside the town of Tolkeen and meets a young psi-warrior.� Together with a orc mercenary they get into a battle with some tolkeen police.� Bender guns down two of them in a fenzy� before more capture him.� Somehow released.. bender wanders the wasteland looking…for that lone female gromek that will never come.

Story:

Ka D'lahll was originally a member of a large marauding gromek tribe
in the old palladium world. When a group of powerful warriors of light
caught wind his tribe's evil business, they were asked to destroy it by the
local ruler. Knowing that the gromek's war-like nature would only increase
as their tribe grew, the forces of light quickly organized an army and
attacked the gromek tribe. During the battle two of the tribes greatest
shamans also entered into a pitched battle with the opposing army's mages.
The magical energies that were released in the battle, combined with the
energy of scores of people dying at once was enough to cause a dimensional
distortion that warped a small amount of both armies to rifts earth.

Ka D'lahll was actually lucky to have been one of the few caught in
the magical conflagration. The rest of his tribe was killed in the battle,
and their heads adorned the local ruler's castle for quite some time. But
Ka D'lahll now found himself in a strange and alien world. He and his fellow
gromek warriors had quickly been able to finish the other transported humans,
but the denizens of the new world proved much more difficult.

Originally there were 11 surviving gromek who made it to Rifts earth.
Their first encounter was with a rhino-buffalo they tried to kill and eat.
It ate 3 of the gromeks, and the rest fled in terror of "the beast that
spears do not harm". At first thinking it had been enchanted, they again
were suprised when they attempted to plunder a simple cottage they found in
the wilderness. As soon as they set it's thatched roof alight, out came it's
inhabitant, as planed. A scrawny human, dressed in some form of armor and
carrying a strange object. Rushing the man, 4 of the warriors died
immediately, atomized by his laser pistol. 2 more of the gromeks managed to
flee, but Ka D'lahll was stuck, the man has his "magic wand" trained on him.

Ka D'lahll's next few years of life were spent in slavery to the man,
working with him in the wilderness. Ka D'lahll at first saw many venues of
escape (the man thought Ka D'lahll had only rudimentary intelligence).
However, he soon realized this human was his way of learning about how to
live in this new world. So he stayed with the man for 2 years, until
finally one night he rose out of his captivity and killed the man in his
sleep. Taking all of his possessions, Ka D'lall went out looking for new
experiences in this world, as well as a way back to his old.
He has come to like his existence in Rifts earth, and is no longer
sure if he would return home had he the chance. Ka D'lahll took the name
"Bender" as something the humans could call him easily. He now works as a
guide in the wilderness, and also hunts demons and monsters that invade his
home territory. Because of this the local human population doesn't object to
having a 9ft tall monstrous d-bee living near them. Ka D'lahll has been
saving money made from working as a guide an selling d-bee hides and pelts.
He originally was working to pay a Mage to warp him home, and knows that at
his current rate it will take some time to save up enough money.
