However, they instead resolved to end their feud, leaving him to kill them both along with the four men with them. With a messenger boy, he leads both Brint and Shart to a tree on a hill, hoping for them to kill themselves. With his reward, he pays himself a bath, a new set of clothes, new daggers, some decent food and wonders if it may be enough for a half-and-half.
When asked for his name for the local newspaper, he answered with "Ali S.
Though confused at the prospect of receiving money for killing, he takes the reward and begins plotting to kill more criminals and threats. However, their recruitment efforts were halted when they both ran away when the deputy mayor, who brought Belkar to the mayor for a 25gp reward for killing the Ankheg. Both men attempted to recruit the halfling for their showdown the next day. Striking back with his bread knife, Belkar leaped at the creature's head - a jump that impressed both Brint and Shart-and stabbed it in the face. At that moment, the Ankheg struck once more, burrowing from beneath the ground under Belkar to attack him. Jarnson ran away after throwning a few gold, with Belkar liking the shakedown he saw. Brint got into an argument with another man, Shart, who was also looking to collect the money from Jarnson and the two couldn't decide whose territory Jarnson was on. Breaking into a bakery, he took a bite out of a blueberry muffin only to be disgusted by its taste, and proceeded to cook his own food while the baker and a young woman listened to him from behind the wall.Īfter finishing his meal, Belkar was drawn by a conversation between the merchant Jarnson and a man named Brint, who was looking to collect some money from him.
Escaping to the top of a nearby tree, he slept the night there to avoid the bug before going into town the next morning. However, he was then attacked by the Ankheg, a giant acid-spraying bug from the region he was in. Dressed in rags, he stopped at a farm to steal some squashes after spending several days without eating. Some time prior to joining the Order, Belkar was captured and spent seven months as a slave before escaping after killing the slavers. Word of the Giant has confirmed that many of his dysfunctionalities are the result of his upbringing, but has stated that they deliberately intend to not touch on Belkar's past in the comic proper. He also seems to believe that spending time with one's family is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. It has been suggested that at least some members of his family share his general disdain for the lives of others and have a similar bloodthirst-that he has an Aunt Judy who is as vicious as he is. Also when Vaarsuvius hits him with a crushing despair spell he laments that he is going to die alone and unloved. Belkar is indeed quite small by halfling standards (at 3'2" according to himself) and is shown to be quite sensitive about his height. While he subsequently claimed to have done this purely to gain extra experience points for role-playing, much of the story rings true. He once spun a sob-story about how he was ostracized in the halfling community for being exceptionally small even by halfling standards and that he has since strove to be a great adventurer in order to assert himself and eventually return to the village and exact a murderous and bloody revenge.
