Vignoth - Loxodon Druid (Patreon)

Unlike most Loxodon, Vignoth never quite went in for the tranquil, meditative ways of his people. His particular tribe, an offshoot of wooly Loxodon who live high in the mountains, deal with unrelenting environments and that makes for fierce and capable warriors. Vignoth left after a particularly violent episode with another tribe member who he nearly killed in a rage. To be precise, he was exiled for his attack. Trying to atone for his past mistake he became a druid, connected to the natural world, although he also has a barbarian's heart, so he prefers to face his challenges in the form of a massive dire bear! After he meets up with the party he finds a kindred spirit in Endymion who grew up in similar polar conditions, and with a smaller tribe of people. The old centaur acts as a calming presence to Vignoth and the two become good friends.
