Hammen of Jor, born Hadin gar Kan, was the master fighter of the House of Oor-tael in Kush on Dominaria.
Description
Hammen was born with the ability to control mana.[2] In his later years, Hammen was a raggedy figure with yellowing teeth, though he still carried the hint of a high-class accent.[3] After partnering with Garth, he wore a clean white tunic with a gray circle over his left breast and cut his hair close-cropped.[4] Hammen often sexually harassed Norreen and Varena.
History
Hammen was Cullinarn's favorite fighter before the Night of Fire.[2] He was one of few people to escape the massacre, hiding in the city's sewers for weeks. Feeling guilty for having abandoned his master, he gave up his spells and chose to live in Estark as a beggar and a thief. He quickly became the head of a brotherhood of pickpockets.
Twenty years later, he became involved in the plans of Garth One-Eye, a mysterious stranger, who was determined to challenge the rule of Grand Master Zarel and the planeswalker Kuthuman.[5] Over time, Hammen realized that Garth was Galin, the son of Cullinarn, who he thought had perished during the Night of Fire. During this time, Garth referred to Hammen as "his servant", much to the latter's dismay. Hammen started helping Garth out of curiosity but quickly became engrossed in the attempt for Garth to rebuild the honor of the Festival of Estark. He was a cynical man, who survived in the slums of Estark by robbing and stealing what he needed; still, he remained a fighter under his raggedy appearance. To save Garth from the wrath of Zarel and Kuthuman, Hammen volunteered to fight in the arena in his stead, but was stopped by Garth.[2]
After the Time of Troubles, he rebuilt the House of Oor-tael, becoming its Master. Garth and Norreen named their son after him.[6]
