Personality: Irgoll is far from a pleasant person to be around, being rude, loud, and violent. He enjoys mocking and pestering others and eagerily tries to provoke them into physical confrontations with very little regard to his own wellbeing. Stubborn and headstrong, Irgoll never backs out of a fight once challenged, even if he is certain he will lose the encounter.

He takes pride in his sense of honor, preferring to have “fair” fights when he is able to, though he is quick to pull weapons if his opponent does the same or he is suddenly outnumbered. He always holds up his end of the bargain and once he takes a job, he never betrays his employer unless they back out of their end of the deal.

He goes out of his way to cultivate his crass persona and is happy to allow others to think he’s a fool and underestimate his cleverness. He enjoys the simple things in life, primarily good booze and loose women. Privately, he suffers from intense PTSD and greatly dislikes others seeing his symptoms, using his aggression to hide it if necessary.

History: Born in Lisburn, Ireland, Ian Goffney spent most of his life as a general rabble-rouser, constantly getting into fights and brawls for little reason. However, he eventually took a wife, Mary, and had his son, Marcus. To force some discipline into his life and prove his worth, he eagerly volunteered to fight in the Great War, where he unfortunately died in the trenches of Passchendaele.

In Hell he became embittered and jaded due to both being separated from his family and the meaninglessness of his supposedly glorious sacrifice. After countless years of drinking and brawling, he eventually became a well-respected mercenary due to both his skills and his reliability. He now takes just about any job that catches his interest or promises a good fight, anywhere from simple strong-arming to paramilitary operations.

Powers:
-Battle Frenzy: Irgoll’s only true “supernatural” ability is his capacity to go into a berserk frenzy upon giving out or receiving physical damage, increasing his strength, speed, and durability the longer he is in combat, even increasing his size in extreme cases. Physical pain or extreme emotional duress increases the build-up speed significantly.

Finally Irgoll is able to simply ignore most injuries. Bones will force themselves back together, arteries will seal themselves off, and his body will simply ignore most destroyed organs. However, severed limbs and the like will still hamper him and when the frenzy wears off, Irgoll will have to deal with any injuries normally

Skills:
-Hand-to-Hand Combat: Irgoll is a very skilled combatant, drawing techniques from wrestling, bare-knuckle-boxing, and a number of martial arts.
-Marksmanship: Not the best shot, but Irgoll is very comfortable with all manner of firearms and military equipment.
-Trapmaking: He is also well versed in demolitions and creating a number of improvised traps.
