About Drek

Drek's Story - The Mini Mighty

Drek was born into a quiet kobold mining tribe that valued peace, order, and staying out of trouble. Drek… did not. Loud, impulsive, and easily distracted, he was a constant disruption - bad at mining, worse at diplomacy, and always saying the wrong thing at the worst time. Knowing he didn’t fit in, Drek struck out on his own and eventually found his place at a rowdy adventurers’ tavern called The Wyrmling’s Rest. There, he was adopted as the tavern’s mascot, entertaining guests with his wild antics and endless energy. Everything changed the night a gang of ogres attacked the tavern. With nothing but a broken barstool and raw fury, Drek defended his new home. The legend of the “Barstool Berserker” was born - and so was Drek’s path as a real adventurer. He met Quinny when she and Jax passed through the tavern. After a series of increasingly chaotic contests and arm-wrestling duels with Jax, he joined their party on the spot. To this day, Drek still visits The Wyrmling’s Rest between adventures -where he’s welcomed with open arms, open tabs, and the occasional barstool to smash (for old times’ sake).

Fun facts about our Drek!

Fidget Fanatic

Drek is a restless soul, obsessed with fidget toys. Soren crafts him a new one each month - as long as he doesn’t start any fights that week.

Directional Disaster

Has no sense of direction and is used to constantly getting lost following a distraction without being able to navigate back. After vanishing mid-quest four times, Zeela enchanted a tracking charm to keep tabs on him. He still manages to wander.

Food First, Friends Always:

He’s obsessed with local food and always brings extra for Quinny “just in case she forgot to eat again.”

The Doodle Book

Keeps a tiny sketchbook where he draws portraits of his friends. They're terrible -everyone looks vaguely like a loaf of bread - but the party treasures every page.

Choppy - The Axe

Soren forged Drek’s current weapon as a “welcome to the team” gift. He named it Choppy and talks to it, praising it after each battle. It has frequently required repairs by Soren.

Battle Scars

Drek names his scars like trophies. The slash above his eye? Skycut. “Big bird tried to snatch me. Joke’s on bird - I bit it.” - Drek

Designing Drek's Symbol

Originally, we had Drek's beloved axe 'Choppy' included in his symbol. But the details got a bit lost and the design was too complicated, so we refined it to be Drek's head outline.
