Background
Kargath became a member of the Broken Crown when he was much younger. He acquired a reputation for brutality and rose through the organization's ranks to become one of the three lieutenants. However, at some point, he had a daughter named Zenine and became concerned for her well-being and future. He grew less enthusiastic about his criminal work and focused more on his butcher shop to the extent that he could. During this time, he acquired a reputation as the mellowest of the Broken Crown's lieutenants.

Broken Crown Arc
The Pog Champions learned of Kargath's existence through a ledger taken from a recruiter for the Broken Crown, listing him along with his fellow lieutenants and their typical hangouts. They pursued him in hopes of disrupting the Broken Crown's operations enough that its leaders would no longer bothering to pursue them for the carnage at the Twisted Nail. Although they were informed that he was too formidable for them to take on at the time, Kargath was the first lieutenant they approached with the intent of gauging the feasibility of their plan to kill the lieutenants. Kilwin and Jorah visited his shop on the pretense of purchasing some meat. During this visit, they encountered Zenine and observed that she seemed to have a good relationship with her father. This made the Pog Champions reassess their approach to Kargath and they returned to the shop as a group, offering a truce -- If Kargath did what he could to avoid furthering the Broken Crown's vendetta against the party, they would leave him alone in their efforts to dismantle the organization. Kargath agreed, informing the party of Tyrian Vordt's leadership of the Broken Crown as well as his plans to assassinate Count Corvus and assume rulership of Port Valor. The Pog Champions and Kargath were both true to their word and did not meet again until after the party's confrontation with Tyrian. Upon learning of Tyrian's demise, Kargath expressed disappointment at being out of one of his jobs, but was ultimately happier that he and Zenine were free of the Broken Crown and that the Pog Champions survived their ordeal.

The Fall of Port Valor
Kargath survived Thorak's anti-life field because he was at a park just outside the spell's limits at the time, playing with Zenine. He carried her through the town to the Temple of Alethus on the other side to seek shelter, and was one of the survivors that the Pog Champions encountered there. While the Fireaxe Clan was still attacking, Kargath stayed in the temple to defend the other survivors from any possible attacks. After Thorak's death, he helped convince the other survivors to accept aid from Othurk and his allies. He also decided to remain in Port Valor, as he considers it his home, and became involved in the rebuilding effort.

Goals
In the past, Kargath was focused on his duties as an enforcer for the Broken Crown, as well as the success of his butcher's shop. However, after the birth of his daughter, Kargath became concerned by the brutality and danger of his criminal activities. As a result, he became more focused on the success of his legitimate business and attempted to fulfill his duties to the Broken Crown while keeping his head down and his daughter safe until the organization's dissolution. After the destruction of Port Valor, Kargath decided to stay in his hometown and is currently focused on the rebuilding efforts.

Abilities
Kargath is a skilled fighter who uses weapons that presumably resemble the tools he uses in his non-criminal profession. He is also skilled at the preparation of various meats. His shop's specialty is a meat chunk comprised of several different types of meat, salted and flavored in a way that particularly impressed Erak.
