Crusher

Crusher, who's name is Little Brother, has been the friend of Derk the keeper of the Traveling Tramp for a long time.  Crusher, though small for an ogre, is large for a human.  He appears more human then ogre, though his brow is sort of sloped, he has more hair on his body then a normal human, and during the winter his green tint of his skin shows through because his tan is gone.

The product of a rape of a slave the ogres kept, he was never treated well, except by his half brother who was the chief's son.  He left as soon as he could, killing many of his "father's" tribe on the way out.  He met up with a mercenary band who saw potential in his size and showed him how to use weapons of all sorts.

It was this mercenary band which Derk Tumblestone was a part of, and Derk quickly made friends with the half-ogre.  Little Brother, who now went by the name Crusher, instantly liked Derk for the man never noticed his half-ogre blood and Crusher swore to stick with him through thick and thin.  So when Derk rescued Mina and started the Traveling Tramp, Crusher was not far behind. 

Getting on in years, Crusher is starting to feel his age, but he cares greatly for Derk and his family.  Though still threatening, he isn't the "ogre" he use to be, but Derk would never think of throwing him out or taking his job.  Crusher will not take gruff from anyone, especially if they are threatening anyone in the family.  He is also protective of the bards Derk hires, for most of the time they stay for quite a while and feel no fear of the half-ogre.
