Biography

Background

"Divergent Paths" (2x25)

Lorenzo and the Iron Shepherds first appeared when the group attacked the Mighty Nein overnight. Several members of the Iron Shepherds attacked Yasha, Fjord, and Jester during their watch away from camp. Under the cover of a Silence spell[3], the Iron Shepherds restrained the trio and brought them to Lorenzo, who apparently had the "sharp instinct" to come across this "sudden bounty."[4]

"Found & Lost" (2x26)

Beau, Caleb, Keg, Molly, Nott ambushed the Iron Shepherds on the Glory Run Road. Lorenzo was initially surprised by the ambush and to see Keg attacking him but remained unconcerned. Seeing him frightened Keg enough that she ran away from him without trying to attack. Lorenzo cast a Cone of Cold spell that severely injured Beau, Nott, and Molly.[5]

Tyrone-Andersen-Lorenzo

Fan art of Lorenzo, by Tyrone Andersen.[art 4]

Molly charged Lorenzo along with Beau. He used his Blood Maledict ability, hurting himself to try to weaken Lorenzo. Unfortunately, he took enough damage to knock himself unconscious. After a prompt of any last words, Mollymauk spat his blood into Lorenzo's face. Lorenzo twisted his glaive into Molly, henceforth ending Molly's life.[6]

Lorenzo tauntingly asked Beau if they had learned their lesson. Beau responded that she had no respect for authority. Lorenzo replied with "Then another life it is." Keg moved back towards Lorenzo and asked him to make her the example. Beau struck her tinderbox and lit Lorenzo (still covered in oil) on fire. He seemed unconcerned by the fire. By this time, Dwelma (who had been knocked unconscious by Beau) had bled out and died. Lorenzo told Keg they seemed to have an "eye for an eye" scenario and asked if she really wanted to be an example. Keg asked if he would let the others go. Lorenzo said he would and called off the attack.

Still on fire, he walked with Keg over to Beau, Caleb, and Nott. He told them to tell everyone they met what had happened that day. After pushing Keg to her knees, he whispered to her that killing her now would be too quick. She would have to live with the memory of what she had done.[7] Only then did Lorenzo put the fire out, leaving the party with one last threat to kill them if he ever saw them again.

"Converging Fury" (2x27)

Nila (using Wild Shape to take the form of a mouse) snuck into the Sour Nest. She found the trapdoor into the basement and heard a laugh that she recognized as Lorenzo from underneath it. Unable to get under the door or open it as a mouse, Nila went to explore the upstairs.[8] She found what was most likely Lorenzo's room. There was a table with bones and a small humanoid skull on a plate. As Nila started to sneak back down to the first floor, Lorenzo walked up the stairs but did not notice her.[9]
