Biography
Baruk is a faithful priest of the Great Smith and Maker, yet particular of his actions and views were not endorsed by his temple superiors. His biggest "sin" was the love for Blood Bowl and his admiration of the Agility Monsters. When he was once more on his way to the stadium, the highest priest confronted him and gave him an ultimatum to make him choose between his sacred duty and the sport. That evening, Baruk did not return from the stadium.
It turns out Baruk doesn't like undead (well, isn't that true for all priests?), or zombies in particular: In his
10th game, he seriously injured a zombie and badly hurt another. Both were not able to recover from his hits with regeneration.
In his 49th game a goblin stole the ball out of his tacklezone. Baruk went after him and stole the ball right from his hands as the little green guy desperately tried to pass it down-field. One game later, against the Hellbound Charioteers, Baruk did almost the same trick against a Norse runner trying to secure the ball by tossing it away... After that he got known as Baruk "Pass Block" Faithchanger and his old nickname ("Sinful") was soon forgotten.
In his 58th game he leaped away from a longbeard ready to dive in and tackle him, using this technique for the first time to actually score.
In his
60th game he got almost killed by a highly skilled
halfling kicker - but apothecary Silverstaff patched him up so that he only had to miss out one match to heal some broken ribs. The ref did spot the foul and banned the halfling for the rest of the game.
His 91st game - on the Monsters' 6th anniversary - saw him leaping five times, three times he succeeded. Twice he managed to bring down exceptional ball carrier
"Licking" Larry, who had only just become a legend. The first time, Larry got badly hurt, but the team apothecary patched him up again. The second time however, Baruk crushed down on him lethally - death from above. Probably the first occurence of such a kill in the history of FUMBBL.
Only one game later he himself got his knee smashed by a crazy Dollhouse elf.
His 102nd game, the last of seven other Agility Monsters, he was fouled badly in the early game, suffering a serious concussion (-av) and therefor unable to support his comrades during this memorable game.
