Graven Scourge
Retyunskikh Braskawyk
Retyunskikh Braskawyk built the name Braska the Red in the streets and strongholds of Gravenhurst, where reputation is earned loudly or not at all. Once a Thieves Guild contractor, he cut ties and rose as a captain of the Graven Scourge, favoring open dominance over quiet deals. His Witchborn brawling makes him dangerous in any close fight, but his real weapon is presence: red-haired, sharp-tongued, and always ready to turn Violince into a public lesson.
In Act 5 inside Vithyrex’s Maze, Morgan Draxler found Braska the Red impaled by two horns and badly bleeding. Braska said a crazed minotaur had slammed into him and stolen one of his heart pieces. Morgan stabilized his bleeding with medicine and pressure from Granny Handjobs rather than fully healing him. Braska later helped Vic Vaurr interpret the mirror-dagger trial and was gored/dropped again by Timonos Truthstriker. Status is currently marked Deceased and needs review against later continuity before changing.
