Son of Orcus

A large man in brown in mishmashed bits of green armor over brown padded clothing stands holding a large club in front of him horizontally like a barbell. The club is a long wooden branch capped with a large studded iron weight made to look like a clenched fist. The fist grasps a long spike, which acts as the weapons serious business end. He wears a red and yellow shirt with a dark stripe running diagonally through it, bearing the mark of his company, the Sons of Orcus: A green muscled arm bent at the elbow and holding a club. His armor is all embellished with grotesque faces. From the sneering goblins on the back of his wrists, the fanged beast on his one pauldron, to his helmet, a 15th century sallet made to look like a goblin face with long flat tusks on the visor, which is lifted slightly. Two small yellow eyes peer out of the darkness inside the helmet.
