Trollhater was born Cameron Gordtstadta, the elven son of Niniel and Elantark Gordtstadta. He lost both his
parents and sister in a troll attack on his father's village at an early age. He was saved from death by the
trolls by a human knight, Paul M'uab Dib the III, who chose to adopt the young elf and raise him as his own.
It was later in life that Cameron gained the nickname of 'Troll Hater', given him by his adoptive father on a troll hunt when he was thirteen. His ferociousness towards trolls at an early age made the name stick.
As he grew older, Cameron spent more and more time with
the Rangers of Moorgate often following them out on hunts until they decided to simply invite him along.
Soon Paul M'uab Dib apprenticed him under the ranger Kalamar. Trollhater learned quickly from Kalamar and
was soon well known among the rangers.
Many years passed and found Trollhater making his way into the higher ranks of the fighter's guild of
Moorgate. By the age of twenty-one he had become the guild's second guild master. He held the position of
guild master for many years. It was the year his half-brother, Jihad M'uab Dib, left on a journey to his
family's homeland, that Cameron found himself in a crisis of faith, brought on by the many events of the
day, not the least being the temptations of Morlend the
warlock lord.
Time passed and many grieved the loss of Jihad on the seas, his fiancee, the Lady Fins, was often found
crying at the window sill of the fighter's bunk room, looking out onto sea. What started as Cameron consoling
her in the loss of her fiancee, and her his step brother, fanned the sparks of an attraction that the
two had always felt for each other. Soon after, he proposed to her and a wedding date was set.
The day he was wed to his Lady Fins, or as he lovingly called her, his dear one, is both a happy and extremely
sad moment for him. They were wed just as the sun was setting over the western part of the city of
Moorgate. When the wedding party began preparations for the reception, Loki 'the Lord of Chaos', arrived to work
his mischief on the couple. Loki waved his hands about
in some arcane spell, and stole the ability of all present to leave the room and even cast a spell on the
exit, so no one could leave. Loki then set the wedding area on fire, leaving the wedded couple and guests to
die. The sun had set.
The groom and guests searched and searched for a way out, some dying as the flames grew more intense. As
they searched, one of the ceiling supports gave way and pinned Fins to the ground. Many tried to lift the
timber off of her, but just as they were making headway against it, Loki teleported the groom and guests from
the room, leaving Fins to die alone. The wedding party searched the city frantically for a way to get back, so
that Fins could be saved, but to no avail.
By this time the Lord of Chaos had summoned a great creature from another plane to attack the city of
Moorgate and keep the rescuers at bay. The cries for help from Fins grew fainter and fainter until finally
she died. Loki, seeing his moment, took her soul as it left her body and placed it into an apple, keeping the
Lady Fins from becoming reborn. Loki tossed the apple
to his lackey, telling him to eat it. Doing as his master told him, the lackey ate the apple, core and
all, removing all possibility of Fins ever being seen in the lands again. Just then the sun rose.
The wedding party, helping in the fight with the beast, finally slew the creature.
Trollhater, sensing that something was greatly amiss, ran to his guild office to
look over the guild membership books and saw that where before the name of Fins was written, was a faint smudge
of ink. It was if she hadn't even existed.
For a short while, he wandered the streets in a daze, barely acknowledging those around him. But then a ray
of light broke from the heavens and Andaria, the record keeper of the gods appeared holding the book of souls
in her hands. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she erased the name of Fins from the pages. Crying out to
the Kali, she pleaded that there be some sort of justice in the days events.
Appearing beside her, Kali saw what Loki had done. She
knew that there was nothing that could be done for the soul of Fins. What one immortal did another could not
undo.
Summoning Trollhater to the site of the wedding, Kali made it known to the land that in order to form some
sort of balance from Fins' death she would endow the elven ranger with the powers
and abilities of a Hero. Troll searched the wedding site and found only Fin's engagement ring lying on the ground as proof that she
had even been there. Unpacking a necklace he had found
on his many journeys through the lands, Trollhater strung the necklace through the ring and put it on.
They say that to this day, he still wears he ring around his neck. If you see him galloping through the
land of Legends of Cosrin, shout out a mighty "Hail and well met", as he is oft want to do to others he meets
upon the road.
With the passage of time came renown, and Trollhater became one of the greatest Heroes, his ascenscion to
the lofty heights being truly one of a kind. A legend in his own right before this, his subsequent death
ensures that his story remains for all time amongst the annals of Cosrin's history.
