Agent Iron-Tooth

Agent Iron-Tooth
Agent Iron-Tooth is a ruthless mercenary assassin and a former member of the Crimson Company who was "honorably discharged" for extreme cruelty. He is a man of few words, characterized by his cold, mechanical efficiency and his most striking feature: a set of sharpened, iron-teeth that he uses with lethal effect in close-quarters combat. Iron-Tooth is a "freelance asset," often hired by Kigum’s noble houses or Steamfort’s industrial cartels for missions that require a "certain level of creative violence."
He is currently acting as the primary field agent for Captain Julian’s "Iron Hand" conspiracy, responsible for the "quiet removal" of any officials who might oppose the pending military coup.
Secret Motivation: Iron-Tooth is a "Pain-Addict" who has become desensitized to his own suffering after years of experimental "Aether-Therapy." He only feels "alive" when he is in the heat of battle or when he is inflicting pain on others. He is secretly working with High Enchanter Valerius to find a way to "digitize his consciousness" so he can live forever in a state of eternal combat.
Adventure Hook: The party is hired to escort a "high-priority witness" through the dangerous slums of Kigum. As they navigate the narrow alleys, they are ambushed by a group of masked mercenaries led by a man who smiles with a mouthful of sharpened iron.
