Name: Belkar Bitterleaf.
Fandom: Order of the Stick
Timeline: While in the arena
Age: About 31
Appearance: Belkar is roughly 2’8. He is mostly bald, but seems to have a frizz of reddish brown hair on his head, and a lot on his feet. His head seems to be about 50% of his body mass. He tends to wear almost all green.
Abilities: Belkar is from a setting in which D&D rules apply, so he basically functions as a high level ranger/barbarian. This means he is an exceptional fighter and very skilled with dual weapons. He is fairly bad at most of his class skills however and usually can’t track or spot anything.
He is high enough level that he should be able to cast spells, however, his dismal wisdom score prevents this. If an experiment down the road actually makes him smarter, he would be able to use magic items and cast some healing and nature based spells.
Given the nature of the “Order of the Stick” comic, he is able to make fourth wall comments about the D&D gaming system.
Belkar also has a very acute sense of smell, and can tell identical twins apart by scent alone.
He owns two magic knives and a +20 ring of jumping.
Anytime Belkar is called a ‘hobbit’ a lawyer appears and serves the speaker with a ‘cease and desist’ notice for copyright infringement.
Personality: Belkar is chaotic evil, and basically has no moral framework to stop him from doing whatever he feels like. He is prone to randomly murdering people when he can get away with, and is also involved with theft, arson, and slavery. He has recently decided that playing along and working in a group are to his benefit, but that won’t stop him if he thinks he can get away with other acts of evil.
Varsuvius has described Belkar’s mental functions as a proto-brain, capable of feeling only hatred or lust, and nothing in between, and this seems to be a fairly accurate description. The only exception appears to be his pet cat, whom he seems to have real affection for.
History: Belkar was always small for his age, even for a Halfling. He was constantly teased about it by the others in his village. He harbored one small hope however. That one day, he would do out into the world and make a name for himself, and then, victorious, he would return home to his family and then murder them all in their dreamless sleep.
Belkar spent several years adventuring mostly solo, before being arrested for killing seven people in a barfight. While in prison, he escaped when the wall was shattered by a miscast spell from a group of adventurers. Belkar joins them as a warrior and tracker as the group moves towards a dungeon controlled by a lich name Xykon.
The group fought their way through the dungeon, killing countless goblins and other monsters along the way. Along the way, the group’s leader, Roy, told Belkar about the quest to destroy Xykon. Belkar however, was more interested in the treasure.
The ‘Order of the Stick’ runs into another group of adventurers called the ‘Linear guild’. The two groups team up to recover an artifact, but the Order is inevitably betrayed by the Guild.
Finally, they reach the end of the dungeon and defeat Xykon. The group’s bard Elan then inadvertently destroys the dungeon by touching the self-destruct rune.
The order continues on, traveling to a forest and looting a black dragon’s hoard for starmetal to re-forge Roy’s ancestral sword. They are then met and arrested by the paladin Miko Miyazaki for the capital crime of weakening the fabric of the universe by destroying the gate in the dungeon they just left. Belkar could have escaped the party at this time, but he felt that committing evil under the very nose of a paladin was a worthwhile venture if he could get away with it. The group is able to prove their innocence at a trial in Azure City. The city ruler them tells them that the trial was a sham to get them to aid him in protecting the remaining gates. Roy agrees reluctantly.
During the trial, Belkar actually escaped from his cell and murdered several guards. He then taunted Miko, hoping she would kill him, and through a willful act of murder, loose her abilities as a paladin. Varsuvius, the team wizard, rescues him at the last moment.
While the group has been found innocent, Belkar is still guilty of murder. The paladins of Azure City permit him to go on the quest, put place a ‘Mark of Justice” on him, which will activate and make him deathly ill if he kills a sentient being within the walls of a city, or if he ventures more than a mile away from Roy.
Roy discusses his quest with the city lord, but Miko overhears. Since she does not know about the plan to protect the gates, she jumps to the conclusion that Roy and Shojo are working with Xykon to destroy the gates. She attacks and kills Shojo and is immediately stripped of her Paladin powers by her gods and imprisoned.
Xykon and his army attacks Azure City to take control of their gate. Belkar aids in the defense in exchange for a lighter sentence, but is only able to attack undead, due to the mark of justice. While he hates the new city lord, he foils an assassination attempt on him, fearing that no one else would be able to remove the mark of justice.
During the battle, Roy is killed. Belkar goes with the party Rogue Haley to retrieve his body, and they are both left behind as the paladins abandon the city and flee. Right before they leave, Miko escapes her cell and destroys the gate, dying in the process.
Belkar assists Haley and the remaining partisans in waging a guerilla war inside the captured city. Elves come to assist in the resistance, and Haley decides she can no longer wait for the return of the remaining Order of the Stick members and sneaks out of the city with Belkar, Roy’s body, and a sylph named Celia.
They first travel to the oracle to determine where to go. Belkar secretly murders the oracle on the way out, but as the oracle knew Belkar would do that, he had invited enough kobolds into the region to form the city of Suckmyyellowballshalfling with a population of “Just enough”. This activates the Mark of Justice, causing Belkar to fall deathly ill.
While delusional with fever, Belkar has a vision of Shojo, who leads him on a sort of spirit quest. Belkar comes to learn that he will eventually be abandoned or executed if he continues life in his current way, but goes on to discover that if he pretends to get along with everyone, he can get away with a lot of indiscriminate killing and face no repercussions.
The small group travels on to a thieves town, where Haley had skipped out on the thieves guild. The group is forced to hide, but eventually Haley’s former comrades discover her presence and attack. A cleric who was helping the group decides to cast remove curse on Belkar. Belkar revives just in time to save Haley and Celia.
Since Celia had renegotiated the contract between Haley and the thieves guild, the group is well treated until Varsuvius teleports in and reunites with the group.
The group travels to the Western desert to find the next gate, only to discover the gate is not really there. While traveling back to town for leads, Haley, Elan, and Varsuvius are captured by bounty hunters who mistake them for the linear guild. When Belkar and Roy go to look for them, they are arrested and sentenced to the gladiatorial pits for failing to provide the proper papers.
While in prison, Belkar basically acts out the position of overbearing bully, stealing bread from the weaker inmates and inflicting beatings on them during practice.
