Surged stands tall and imposing; his iron body gleams under the sun. When the forge first birthed him, the blacksmith who brought him into existence knew he was a rarity among golems. His iron skin is cool to the touch and in the right light, one can see etchings of intricate designs that give him an air of sophistication.

The blacksmith created Surged with a purpose in mind: to protect and serve. A warrior unlike any other, Surged's strength is unrivaled but his mind and soul are gentle. Part of a caravan crew, he is responsible for securing the passage of goods across the treacherous lands. The merchants who employ him have flourished, their goods safely arriving at their destination thanks to Surged's unfaltering diligence.

Surged does not work for riches or glory. His motivation lies in safeguarding the lives that depend on the supplies they carry. For some, the shipments his caravan protects can make the difference between life and death.

His best friend and protector within the caravan is a small, unassuming rat named Fidelle. Contrary to what many might believe, Fidelle is a formidable creature. Her keen senses assist Surged in detecting any potential threats before they become a reality. Their connection transcends the bonds of friendship as Surged wears a small iron rat pendant, representing their unwavering loyalty and trust.

Surged’s only regret weighs heavily on him; the beloved daughter he once had. She was a brilliant young golem with a heart of gold, but fate had other plans. Tragedy struck when bandits raided their village and, in the ensuing chaos, they were separated. Though Surged tried to protect her, fate denied him. To this day, Surged is haunted by the memories and is determined to find a way back to her, no matter how long that journey may take.

Away from the battlefield, Surged is much like any other being. His favorite food is apples; the crunch and sweetness remind him of simpler times. Though they provide no sustenance, the taste brings a smile to his face. Surged also takes delight in his attempts of humor, often joking with friends and finding ways to lighten the mood. One particular joke has become his favorite: "What's heavier - a pound of iron or a pound of feathers? ...They both weigh the same!"

Surged's iron body is not only his shield but also his symbol of what he stands for: strength, honor, and loyalty. His life is dedicated to the protection of others, and with each passing day, he hopes that his actions will bring him closer to his lost kin.

As the sun sets, Surged gathers his strength by a campfire, his iron frame still radiating warmth. His eyes are on the horizon, the haunting yet beautiful image of a totem carved from wood and adorned with feathers. It stands tall, a symbol of his journey's true purpose - to find his missing daughter and rebuild their family. Surged stirs the embers, finding solace in the fire's dance and recommitting his heart to the path that fate had set before him.
