There were three of them to begin with: Tuck, Hodge and
Flitch. Three little pigs. When they were still quite young their mother drove
the brothers out of the muddy wallow that had been their home, and they had to
fend for themselves.
They got on well for a while, but then a garm-wolf picked up
their trail and began to stalk them.
Tuck was killed by the garm-wolf, and Hodge and Flitch went
on without their older and wiser brother. They might have been all right in the
end, but something else happened to them on their travels: the two remaining
Marrowbone Brothers got too close to an outbreak of werefire, and it changed
them. It turned them into creatures of malice and hunger. It changed them from
talking pigs into hogmen, vicious trolls with an appetite for human flesh. And
it was in that form that Will Lightfoot encountered them in the sewers under
the city of Skald.
