DESCRIPTION
Obbinjar is very much the strong, silent type. He is a convert to the worship of Baalzebul and a member of his Satanic Order. He believes that Might Makes Right and that the Strong should rule over the Weak. He prefers to take the most direct action in conflict, but is not rash. He is a survivor and succeeds through his toughness and force of will.

DESIGN NOTES
In the original campaign, he started his career adventuring with Eric and Paladino the werewolf assassin. Eric died when they set fire to a town and Paladino from when they fought a band of goblins armed with silver weapons. But as always, Obbinjar survived and thrived.

In this world, they all live. Obbinjar is a Saxon warrior from a satanic order of knights, and leads an expeditionary force of those knights against the Kingdom of Falkirk on the island Albion. He is accompanied by his evil chaplain Angus the Black and his henchmen.

His name is an homage to our high-school social-sciences teacher and advisor to our Strategy & Tactics Club, Mr. Obmascher (who was definitely not evil!).
