I could be some big old washed up battle warrior legend or something, who the player goes to in need of some help. A hired goon of sorts
But the player must give me some incentive to help them.
Like ObiWan in 'A New Hope'. I've left battling for a private life. And I'd be angrier than him. Sorta like Gimli. Stories have been passed around the country about my glorious battles, but nobody knows if they're true. The character seeks my help, in hopes that I can provide him with some hired muscle.
Thoughts?
