Toran-fucking-Rôl. The man is a bloody dangerous fucker, the sort of bloke you absolutely do not want to meet down any dark alley, no matter how many Dragons and Tarrasques you can claim to call your mates. He'll still hand you your arse… and smile whilst he does it too. He's a frightening bastard, Toran.

And knowing that, he's still my best mate.

Toran was born on the coast of Perelinn. Yes, he has both a mother and father, and did not, as the Rogues of Mellik will have you believe, spring forth, full of piss and vigor, from a sore on Lugh's arse. He ran around and did the things human children do - he caused problems, got into scrapes, and didn't finish a damn thing he started. A bloody butterfly was enough to distract the lad. It was a normal childhood, quite unlike what you would expect for the man who would one day kick your teeth in.

I watched him grow up (I watched all of you whelps grow up-Strewth, I watched your bloody grandparents grow up) in his little fishing village, bored with his little fishing existence, until one day he hopped a boat to Trigasha. Where he got the idea to go to Trigasha, I do not know, but if I ever figure out whom the meddling bastard was, I promise to feed you to my pet Tarrasque. Bloody amateurs sticking their nose into destiny. Leave well enough alone you wankers.

Anyway - so young Toran buggers off to Trigasha and meets up with the Militant Scarlet Order. And of course, Scathach--

Funny story here… after Toran and I and been mates for a good while, we were drinking at a piss dive in Mellik, waiting for some tossers who had stolen an artifact they shouldn't have to come wandering by, when I mentioned to Toran that Scathach looked good for a roll in the hay. Next thing I know, the fuckers thrown me through the wall of the bloody tavern. So I throw him through a wall. And so on and so forth until there isn't anything but a pile of rumble left - and us in it, laughing so bloody hard, we're liable to piss.

He wasn't really angry, turns out, he'd just seen the fuckers we were looking for and I was the handiest thing to throw at them. Still… I don't make too many references that have anything to do with Scathach other than quickly looking away. Fucking jealous bastard.

So Toran goes to Trigasha, beats the every-lovin' piss out of everyone but Scathach, somehow catches her fancy even as he is having his arse handed to him, and then off he goes to become a big bad adventurer.

I'd like to say he had some hard times of it, early in his go, but life isn't that bloody fair. He's Toran Rôl. He simply beat the piss out of everyone and everything that ever looked at him askance. He finally met me shortly after leaving Trigasha, and we trotted around Angaria and the planes with that runt, Jougla - Hi, Jougla. Then we met up with the rest of the Mac Culainn folk, and REALLY started to have our way with the evil fuckers of the universe. Dragons, demons, devils, arrogant celestials - you name it, we kicked their arse.

Dar Sargoth the Lich - "the fucking dead as a doornail, I've got your undead soul tormenting in a painful magical prison even as I speak" Dar Sargoth - he showed up and killed some of our closer mates and that really pissed Toran off. Toran seems distant and aloof, but bloody mess with his mates and he will rip your intestines out and make you watch as he does some very painful and long-lasting things to them. Dar Sargoth got beat, and then beat some more, and then got his arse kicked some more once he was dead - just for good measure. And that was just from Toran. I was busy smashing Sargoth's sister up against the side of Mount Korac. Try to poison the Lady Fiona, will you, you bloody whore - meet my friend, solid rock…

And because of that - because Toran is a stubborn bastard who hurts anyone that fucks with his mates - we stand here today to crown him King of Grengon. He doesn't really want it. A King can't go out and beat the hell out of monsters and thieves and loot through their treasure. A King has to watch out for his people, he has responsibilities. Toran just isn't used to that.

But I think he will get used to it. He has his eye on one more Dragon's hide, and when he's done killing that bastard, I think he'll finally settle down and be an okay King. Notice I'm not promising you miracles. He'll bitch and moan about all the responsibility, and he'll find ways to ditch the whole bloody mess for a few weeks at a time. But eventually, he'll come to call all of you his mates… and then he'll kick the arse of anyone who looks at you funny.

That, in a nutshell, is your new King, Toran Rôl. Noble Houses of Grengon, I'd watch your step - he scares the bloody piss out of me.

Though not half as much as his fucking girlfriend.
