History[]
Backstory[]
Picchu lived in a Barbarian village with his parents as its leaders. One day, the village was attacked by a team of bandits during a village celebration. Picchu saved a little baby from a bandit, and then faced off against the bandit leader. The two fought and Picchu gained the upper hand, leaving the leader at his mercy. However, Picchu decided to forgive the leader and let her escape, saying that his parents taught him right. They were very proud of him for sticking to the Barbarian ethos.
However, the bandit leader took advantage of his kindness and attacked the village again. Picchu's parents were killed, and the bandit leader captured him and threw their weapons at his feet to signify what had happened. She then recited the fable of the scorpion and the frog, saying that her nature was to kill and destroy and him showing mercy was the reason his clan was wiped out. She then stated that he did not deserve to die a warrior's death, and left. Picchu was forever scarred by this incident and thereafter fought his demons at the Cliffs of Regret.
