Description
Barrel is a massive, heavily built humanoid fiend, standing nearly 7 feet tall and weighing well over 300 pounds. His body is thick with muscle, giving him the appearance of an enormous butcher who was built for strength rather than speed.
His skin is dark, bruised gray, covered in scars, old cuts, and patches of blackened flesh. Thick crimson veins pulse beneath his skin, especially around his neck and arms. His face is broad and brutal, with a flattened nose, jagged teeth, and small glowing red eyes.
Barrel wears a blood-stained butcher's apron over heavy, battered clothing. The apron is covered with old stains that are impossible to tell apart—blood, grease, and something much darker. Heavy leather straps cross his chest and hold hooks, knives, and butcher's tools.
His enormous hands are wrapped in dirty leather bindings, with several fingers ending in thick, blackened nails. His arms are covered in crude scars and tally marks representing the creatures he has "harvested."
His signature weapon is a massive butcher's cleaver, nearly the size of a short sword. He also carries a heavy meat hook attached to a length of chain, which he uses to drag victims toward him.
Despite his terrifying appearance, Barrel often has a disturbingly cheerful expression. He enjoys his work and treats combat like preparing meat for the butcher's block.
