Sniper Lore & Background Story
Kardel Sharpeye earned his name by shooting a troll warlord clean between the eyes from a mountaintop. Born among the keen folk of the highlands, his aim borders on supernatural. He prefers to fight from a distance — by the time you hear the crack, the bullet has already arrived. That legendary shot earned him the eternal enmity of Troll Warlord, the troll warlord who survived the bullet and swore blood vengeance on the marksman who dared challenge him.
