Burtonas Morgan (? AC – ? AC) was a male Minotaur who was a skilled ranger that originally came from the city of Kristophan. He originally hailed from one of the Horned Houses, which fell into disgrace when it became in debt to a Human. Burtonas' mother was so disgusted by this, that she took her son and went into wilderness, rather than live in their house any longer. The young Burtonas was raised in the ways of a ranger, where he learnt to kill only for food, and even then did so sparingly, preferring the diet of a vegetarian. Burtonas was a kindly and peaceful minotaur, who adored his mother. He rarely spoke, but was a great admirer of craftwork, being something of an artist himself. His works were both beautiful to look at, but also useful in serving a purpose, and often sold for considerable sums in the markets of Kristophan.
As a young adult, Burtonas visited the city of Kristophan once more, where inadvertently was sent to the Imperial Arena for not properly dealing with several cutpurses. He quickly knocked his opponent unconscious, amazing the watching minotaurs with his skills. Tiring of the city, he returned to the wilderness, however a number of minotaurs followed him. These minotaurs captured Burtonas' mother, but the enraged Burtonas tracked them down, killing them all.
His mother was disgusted with his blind fury, and sent Burtonas on a quest to destroy three evil artifacts as penance for his sin of killing folk. The kindly minotaur went in search of the artifacts to destroy, easily dealing with the first two, and finally went to deal with the foul Blood of Sargonnas.
