Driss Wolfhead was born in Sartar, near Jaldon's Rest. Although no warrior (his father was a carl) Driss grew up knowin how to use weapons, as all boys do in the hills. When Driss was 14, his father, Dorass was killed by Torn Ironarm the berserk. The tribal council decided the fight had been fair, even though onlookers claimed that Torn had goaded his opponent, while Dorass was too drunk to think straight.
Two nights later Driss ambushed Torn while he was drinking with some friends and stabbed him to death with his own sword. For this he was outlawed and fled into the hills. Driss was eventually bought to bay by a Humakt warrior, but hearing Driss' story, he persuaded the tribal council to change his sentence to exile, if Driss would join the cult of Humakt.
Since then, Driss has traveled here and there, selling his sword skills. He has worked primarily as a bodyguard, due to his unerring ability to pinpoint would-be assassins. Driss is less concerned with warfare and seeking death than many Humakti, although he certainly intends to meet his end in an honorable fashion when it comes. He sets great price however on fair dealing and honest behaviour and will thus willingly act as a guarantor for oaths and pledges.
