Figgis Merluzzo was a dwarven mercenary from Mahakam and member of Zoltan Chivay's company during the 1260s. He was also a blacksmith and always dreamed of opening his own forge one day.[1]
Biography[]
Life in a company[]
After joining the company after the breakout of the Second Northern War in July 1267, the group waylaid and robbed a rich hawker who tried to flee Dillingen after the townsfolk exposed his trade with the Scoia'tael. The merchant defended his property like a lion, shouting for aid several times before the dwarves attacked him with batons. Intending to fund future enterprises of each individual with the treasure, the group helped load the trunks on a wagon and set off into the forest.
Early the following month, Varda and the rest had been escorting Kernow refugees, specifically mothers and children, to safety. They met Geralt of Rivia and the witcher's own group for the first time on the way toward the Yaruga river from Brokilon. Chivay advised the witcher to join up with dwarves on their way eastward to refuge, which was accepted. Not long in, he and Munro Bruys went mushroom picking. Later on, Percival Schuttenbach sensed porridge with his infallible gnomish nose and stated people had to live nearby. Chivay decided he, Schuttenbach, and Geralt's companions would investigate, while Bruys and Merluzzo awaited for a signal in a form of a sparrowhawk call.
After crossing into Brugge, the group stopped at the river O. Convinced not to carry the treasure any longer, Zoltan ordered Merluzzo, Bruys, Yazon Varda, and Caleb Stratton to hide it; the rest continued to Fen Carn. Much later, during an unexpected battle between the refugee-killing Nilfgaardians and the Temerian Army, Chivay's company reunited. They evaded death by running to the woods, but Stratton was hit by the 7th Daerlanian Cavalry Brigade. After burying Stratton and mourning his passing, the dwarves continued. They met Geralt and his company once more, in Angren, and at long last the company decided to return home to Mount Carbon.[1]
Later life[]
He later served alongside the surviving members of the company during the Battle of Brenna in March 1268, and following the end of the war, he planned to set up a steam and water hammer works in partnership with Zoltan and Bruys in Novigrad.[2]
