Gerthark's family was hailing from sellswords.His father was one and his grandfather before him so he chose to follow in their footsteps.He was thrilled with the idea of exploring the world while also making coin.He was a known mercenary and many people would seek to hire him for many different and dangerous jobs.He lived the life he always wanted and everything was fine.But one day all that fell apart.It was an ordinary day and Gerthark was sitting at the Prancing Pony while waiting for a new employer.Suddenly a very strange cloaked man approached him and told him that he wanted to reach a land to the north far from there and he would pay as much as Gerthark wanted as long as he reached safe.Gerthark,lured by the promise of gold and adventure,accepted and set off for the journey that would change him forever.After many months they reached that place and Gerthark demanded his payment.The strange man told him he needed to reach an old castle far in the north of that land.Some days later they finally arrived and then the cloaked man revealed himself to be an Angmarim sorcerer and further explained that his master needed warriors like Gerthark in his army.Gerthatk then realized that the land he was at was Angmar and the castle was the home of the Witch-King and Mordirith.At the moment when Gerthark was ready to strike down the man for betraying him,the Witch-King appeared and knocked Gerthark down.Unconscious,he fell victim to the sorcery of the Witch-king that made him forget his past life and believe he was a warrior in service to Angmar.When he woke up he did not remember anything about his life.Not even his own family.A total slave of Angmar,he now was unleashed to Bree-Land and the Shire under orders from his master to make sure these lands fall before him.
