Lore
When Karl was down on his luck, he'd often watch the mercenaries' monotonous training sessions at the Drill Yard; they swung their weapons with obvious boredom and constant yawning. Karl mimicked them meticulously but added a fierce ground-smashing dash to his routine. This very move caught the attention of Deputy Orton.
