Bondo Natas

The powerful and rarely seen combination of a dwarf and wizard, Bondo Natas is without a doubt a mystery.

Personality

Bondo Natas is generally viewed as a polite and good humored person. However, he is known to quickly become hostile for reasons known only to him. When aggravated he will use any necessary force to resolve the conflict as he sees it. He is extremely loyal to The Regulators and will go to any length to aid its members, especially Beorn, when necessary.
Bondo Natas is best viewed as a sort of wild card when it comes to relationships and cooperation outside The Regulators…and sometimes within the group as well.
He is known to be skeptical of other races, especially Wolfen.

Background and History

All that is known of Bondo’s early years is that he comes from a noble family in the Western Empire, and that many of his closest relatives are dead. Nothing is known as to how he gained his magic abilities or why other dwarfs let him live as a cause of this.

He is the long time friend and adventure companion of Beorn of Corandia, and the two are seldom seen apart. He and Beorn were once members of The Hunting Devils, but due to undocumented events, managed to free themselves from the sect. This is very remarkable as it is rumored that this is actually impossible due to a devil ritual which prevents any member from leaving the sect. However, for a dwarf who is also a wizard, this is possibly not that difficult.

Bondo Natas governs a little town in the Eastern Kingdoms named Shiraz. Little is know as to how he gained this position, but it is rumored that he saved the town from a band of powerful vampires who terrorized the village. In addition, together with The Regulators, he recieved a piece of land in South Winds where they now are building a fortress. Bondo Natas and a few members of The Regulators held a position of high importance in South Winds after saving Lankhmar from an attack orchestrated by a band of outlaws from the Yin Sloth jungle. It is said that most of the members now has declined further service in South Winds as a cause of a shift in power when the old prince died.

Bondo Natas, as well as Beorn, are known names to many, but few know who they are or why they are famous.
