And henceforth upon the coming of Zande, our noble savage woneth ye olde tournament of champions and used the prize money to benefit ye olde local orphanage. Two days later he saved a friar falling from a foundry by wayeth of catching him with both arms.
HENCEFORTH did Zande then seeketh audience with the Rose Knights and made clear his aspirations, at the sameth time neatly inventing a believably heroic past for himself, in such a way that he was accepted.
*takes a mop and bucket to sop up the dripping sarcasm*
Looking at the history, I see some small blips:
He was exiled from his village for exceptional reasons (Are these reasons because he is a canibal?) and became a freelance mercenary and bandit leader, feared across the land. He lived a cannibal and a headhunter, who seeks to further his reputation by collecting the skulls of formidable opponents. (reputations work both ways)
Before too long, he grew tired of playing the bad guy and changed professions.(tired? bored? This is perhaps in need of a better reasoning, a diametric shift in core behavior should not be so flippant. Even if something like 'he wiped out a rival group and the villages mistook him for a hero and thanked him for saving them. He was touched by the appreciation for good deeds and the first nights rest in years without bad dreams that he went in search of other good deeds to do." A vision quest from a shaman is also a common reason to change his ways or go seeking the "flower of steel" if not 'a woman born on the full moon, born of a woman on a full moon' ) He joined with the Blades of Iron Roses to fight the good fight, leaving his dark past behind. He still keeps skulls though. Some habits die hard.
As for how he got there, a tournament of arms is a valid reason to travel to test his powers and met a knight of the iron rose.
Just for me, my twinge is the skillset. He seems to be a master of many skills on top of his own weaknesses being hidden strengths. Swinging twin six and a half pound axes are telegraphed but he is cunning enough to make false telegraphs. He can bite through a coconut, A coconut can be pretty tough to crack open. It takes about 1,400 pounds per square inch to break one open. A human can only generate 200-300 PSI, so he has a jaw strength 5 times stronger than any other human.
