Igor Scherer

Like many adult males in the Empire, Igor Scherer was conscripted by Talabecland to fight the invading Kurgan. Before he signed on, he was a simple charcoal-burner that supported his small family with this undesirable profession. But the need was great, and as a patriot, he had to fight the good fight. So Scherer left his old life and began a new one as a soldier of the Empire. Since he had no formal training, the Empire put his wood crafting talents to use, attaching him to a scouting unit. Before he was able to do much, Archaon’s hordes had encircled Middenheim and laid siege to it. He and his unit were sent to ambush the Kurgan supply lines. On one particular foray, Igor realised he was near his home village. He slipped off from his unit to see his wife and two sons, but to his horror, he found his home burnt to the ground and no sign of his family. He never returned to the army and has spent the last few months searching for his wife and children, though in his heart, he knows they are dead. Worse, he’s now labelled a deserter and faces the rope. He’s settled in Taalagad in the hopes of earning a few coins to resume the search for his loved ones.
