"Bortun was physically a man over only a small portion of his body. His leathery arms were packed with muscles. His large legs were very animal-like, ending in the cloven hooves Trestan had glimpsed. Some armor composed of animal hides provided cover over hairy skin that looked just as tough. The short brown fur that covered much of his upper body was nothing compared to his head and face. He was a creature known as a minotaur, a half-bull, half-man abomination." ...Inheritance of a Sword and a Path
Bortun was the most intimidating of the evil characters in my first book. His sheer physical size gave the impression that few men could even get close enough to harm him before his great axe ended the fight. - Douglas Van Dyke Jr
An early concept drawing of Bortun. It was decided to grant him animal hooves for a better appearance.
