Kicking off the Quintessential Barbarian is Character Concepts, and this has to be the most detailed yet seen for any Quintessential book. A range of new characters are now possible with the Barbarian class, such as the Abandoned (raised by animals), the Diplomat (sent to communicate with civilization by his tribe or clan), Exile, Explorer, Ex-Slave, Gladiator, Guide, Lunatic, Manhunter (amazon), Noble, Quester, Raider, Stoic Warrior, and Thug.
