Arrok comes from the Vedic Monasteries in the East. He was taken into the Monastery at a young age, where he was taught ancient knowledge; the Vedic monks believe in 1001 gods that dwell within everything (one god in water, one god in fire, one god in the air, etc.), martial arts, and meditation to purify the body and soul. The Vedic Monks have a fondness for structure and creativity, which is why they have various symbols on their bodies. It is said that each Monk has a tattoo on his back, that chronicles their lifetime/adventures, and that it may take a monk an entire lifetime to complete the tattoo on his back.
Arrok serves the Elder Monks of the monastery, who seek to destroy evil in all forms. He thinks of himself as the weapon of the gods against all that is evil. He is a peaceful, patient and good man who aids those who suffer, with no hatred against anyone. He also has a tendency to speak in philosophical phrases. He is adept in Martial Arts, being able to defeat multiple foes without the aid of weapons. He trains specifically in the Elemental Dragon Styles allowing him to use a variety of charge maneuvers combined with infusing his strikes with elemental power and even controlling the elements outside of his own body.
Arrok was sent west in search of an ancient artifact that was stolen from the monastery nearly a decade ago. He wandered from city to city speaking with both legal and illegal merchants in search of the artifact. His Masters had declined to tell him exactly what he was searching for and simply stated “his soul would understand and recognize the artifact when he saw it”. His travels let him to spend several years with the Dusk Agents of the Isles where he met and worked alongside Susan “Little Susy” Strongarm.
When Susan told him she was heading west with her sister he took it as a sign that his time in the Isles was over.
