An Oiled Barbarian Bodyguard

An Oiled Barbarian Bodyguard is a Nord barbarian who serves as a bodyguard to Sarqiz-Varjaz, a slaver who lives in Arkay Apartments, in the Imperial City Temple District.

He wakes up at 6am and eats breakfast for two hours with his master, then takes up a position outside the apartment door for as long as his master remains in the hall. On weekdays at 6pm, he accompanies Sarqiz-Varjaz to The Bloated Float (he keeps watch while his master eats), then back to the apartment; on weekends, he remains at his post all day. When his master goes back inside at 8pm, he goes as well; when Sarqiz goes to bed at midnight, the bodyguard eats a late dinner for two hours, then goes to bed himself.

He wears nothing more than a pair of leather greaves and fur boots, and is armed with a fine steel battle axe; he carries a key to the apartment he and his master share.

The apartment Sarqiz-Varjaz rents is down in the basement, and is rather small - it has a bed, a chest of drawers, and a long table that he uses for eating. The bodyguard has a pallet on the floor.

The bodyguard is a man of few brains and fewer words: "[You meet a hulk, it says:] I am guard." His response to most queries is: "Ug, me tough!" If you say "Ug" to him, he replies: "Me tough, ug, you tough?" If you say yes, he replies: "Ug, thee tough!"
