James Baxter Mule and Captive

James Baxter started as my take on the “Mule” but through this intriguing character creation has evolved into something more compelling or complex. Use him to stash all your goods or be goblin fodder. But in the right hands he can prove to be an excellent addition to your party.

How do you play that Belief?

I envisioned some kind of redemption for him. He’s excepted hit fate. a prisoner, a nobody, death is the easy way out that hes been fighting for. But it could also be better written.
