Kolos of the Ivory Horn is a stablemaster and member of the Blood Council overseeing the Red Ring in Stormreach . A former gladiator and slave, Kolos rose up to his current position through fierce fighting in the Red Ring, eventually starting his own stable of champions: the Ivory Horn. [1]
History
Kolos was once a slave fighting for the Serpent's Fang stable in the Red Ring, a gladiatorial ring in the city of Stormreach. Kolos earned his freedom in years of fighting in the arena and becoming popular with the crowd. Eventually, he earned the title of Champion by defeating an ogre of the Zolark stable named Deathreaver . Kolos used his fame and prize earnings to begin his own stable: the Ivory Horn. His stable now boasts some of the best gladiators of Stormreach: all of them from monstrous races, and none of them slaves. The stable is also unique in that every bloodbound receives a share of the prize money from a successful match in the arena.
Kolos has become a voice for the monstrous races of Stormreach, championing their rights in the city. His views have brought him into conflict with other stable owners of the Red Ring. Despite this, he has leveraged his fame in the ring (and some political maneuvering) to become a member of the Blood Council, a three-member ruling party that runs the Red Ring. Kolos, alongside human Malketh Zolark and half-elf Ralzina Voraal , determines the matches, schedules, and policies of the Red Ring; he also receives a nice share of its profits.
While other stablemasters despise Kolos, his beliefs and actions have attracted several powerful monstrous humanoids to join his stable. Between the sheer power standing at his side, and the adoration bestowed upon him from the general population, no one is quite willing to remove Kolos from his current position. [1]
Description
Kolos is a red-furred minotaur with polished white horns. Because of his stature within the community of Stormreach, Kolos often wears fine clothes; however, close eyes will notice that his clothing has the occasional frayed edge or missing button. Kolos is not afraid to show the burned scar that once marked him a slave of the Serpent's Fang. [1]
