Dench Denchkins

"'DENCH DENCHKINS!' -Dench Denchkins"Dench Denchkins was the leader of Dench and Friends, a mercenary group that formed after single-handedly defeating Mythrix during the Return of Mythrix. Dench Denchkins was a Half-Ork from an unknown tribe in the southern plains of Midland. It is suspected Dench was exiled from his tribe for being a half-blood, resulting in Dench taking revenge and murdering the entire tribe. Not much is known about Dench until his recruitment by the Lion's Paw Guild. It was here Dench met Ozey Lancaster, Jasmine Underhill, Glessile Sildur, Cairne Dawnstrider, and KuKul Kahn, forming Dench and Friends. Dench is known for his blunt nature and fondness for action as a means to solve problems.

Early Life
Dench was born in the year 6,137 DC to a tribe of orks somewhere in Gaarzod, Midland. As a half-ork, Dench was considered a lesser ork and likely suffered in social standing because of it. However, according to Dench and possible evidence, Dench may have been exiled from his own tribe for killing too many of his own people. The reasons behind this are unclear, but Dench's brutality in combat and tendency towards violence does not make this a far fetched claim.

After his exile, Dench wandered for an unknown period of time, likely surviving on his own in the wilds. Eventually, he somehow obtained an invitation to join the Lion's Paw Mercenary Guild in Wheatriver, and made his way there.

Lion's Paw
Dench joined the Lion's Paw along with Ozey Lancaster and Cairne Dawnstrider on the 28th of Fielder, 6,167 DC. After a few adventures in which he also met Glessile Sildur and KuKul Kahn, Dench and his new companions declared themselves Dench and Friends, a mercenary party of the Lion's Paw. Dench continued to work with the guild, killing orks and generally protecting the central and southern Gaelan territories of the Aranian Empire in Midland.

Dench and Friends ended up in the middle of a plot by the Cult of Three to resurrect a death god Mythrix. Dench continued on fighting and helped Glessile and Steven Ward survive multiple encounters with the Cult of Three. Paetris the Dishonored died by Dench's hand when he and a large group of Cultists attacked Dench and Friends in Tower Edanis.

Dench also helped Cairne Dawnstrider and the Octarian Church recover an ancient artifact known as the Sunlight Crossbow shortly after a team found the Sunlight Tomb near Erendel. Days later, Dench and Friends would kill the next Cult of Three leader Auriel.

Later, Dench would go on to help free the silver dragon of Tower Aurumis, Scierene. After learning the truth of Beiryll and the Cult of Three, Dench and Friends engaged General Ferenor in combat, exposing him as Beiryll. Together, Dench and Ozey killed Gavin Aldair in combat, and hekped the rest of Dench and Friends defeat Beiryll. As a part of the Balhorguard, Dench was transformed briefly in to a dragon in order to help defeat Mytrhix.

Dench and Friends Mercenary Guild
Following the events of the Return of Mythrix, Dench was knighted along with his companions, and was rewarded with a handsome payment by King of the Aranian Empire. Using these funds, Dench would go on to start the Dench and Friends Mercenary Guild along with Ozey and Ekeko.
