+====== Backstory ======
 Toro is the younger of two brothers who were very close. So close, in fact, that around ten years ago, the two decided to move to Welmet together to start a business. They were partway through the process when Toro stumbled upon a group of unsavories, wearing half moons symbols, being shifty, and reported them to the proper authorities. This drew the ire of this particular group, who began harassing and making threats towards Toro, even making attempts at his life once or twice. It got to a point where Toro was constantly on edge, feeling like he was being watched, like any moment someone was going to attack him, like everyone was out to get him. Toro began isolating himself, holding up the process of starting his business with his older brother, Tyr.

 He simply hopes that when he dies someday, he will get to see his brother again. And that he will be able to forgive him.
+====== Curtain Call ======
+After helping Apollo bring down the Moonlit Mafia, Toro takes some time off from adventuring, allowing himself to finally truly grieve his brother. Arrangements are made to get Tyr’s remains honorably exhumed and moved to a proper grave in a proper cemetery. Toro visits often, leaving flowers and some of his favorite snacks, bringing friends he’s sure he would’ve liked if he were alive, and in general making up for the years he spent bottling his feelings up.
+He stays in the adventurer’s guild for a couple years, but takes it relatively easily, taking on quick, easy jobs, and volunteering to give combat lessons. He saves up the money he makes through adventuring and other odd jobs until he finally has enough to finish what he originally came to Welmet to do. Luckily, the spot they wanted was still for sale after all this time.
+Toro looked up at the brand new sign that hung from his store front, tears welling in his eyes. He had always hated the name Tyr came up with, but he could never live with himself if he didn’t use it in his memory.
+About 15 years in the making, Bull Brother’s Hauling Co was finally open for business. It was exactly how Tyr had detailed it in his very well kept plans for the business. A big wooden sign out front, huge wooden carts with the company logo painted onto the side, and he even got Kliff to embroider the logo on some shirts for him in exchange for a donation to his temple. There was certainly a lot of competition for a hauling business, but there was also always someone who needed something moved. Business quickly boomed, and it wasn’t long before he had to hire more people to work for him, Toro taking more of an administrative spot in the company. On his days off, Toro hung out with his old adventuring comrades. He still held “Big Sad Boy Club” meetings, but it became more casual, simply meeting for a few drinks and talking about life and their trials and tribulations. And, of course, he spends time volunteering at several temples of Eldath, and giving to those less fortunate than him.
+Looking at his life, and what he built it up to be, he was proud of himself. He had successfully built the business he wanted to start with his brother. Although he couldn’t be here with him, he knew he could see how well he’s done from the other side, and he knew Tyr was proud of him too.
