Kruber and Taal

[я воняю]

Where is Kruber from? It's presumably a small hamlet or farming community given his worship of Taal. I thought Taal was not keen on metal armor or firearms (science in general, apparently). Does Kruber put this aside for the purposes of his job as a sargeant and a mercenary? After all, he is the most heavily armoured character and exclusively uses black powder ranged weaponry.

He could be from Talabecland where Taal is at least as venerated as Sigmar. As such, he worships Taal, but does not have to be a zealous disciple eschewing firearms.

yeah, the "no gunpowder" thing is really only applied to priests and a few zealot units. the average taal-worshipper is alright with it. like taking a vow of (gun) chastitiy, it's more an act of exceptional devotion than a requirement of worship.

I think he was from Reikland, but fought in Ostland and travelled quite a bit so he could have picked up Taal somewhere along. Though I do think it's kinda weird considering most of Reiklanders worship Sigmar, and Taal is mostly only worshipped in Talabecland.

Just checked, his family indeed came from Talabecland and they have a farm.
Family's a bit of a broad term, but whether he means ancestors, living relatives, or immediate family doesn't really matter as the Taal worship stuck regardless.

i thought Kruber was from Ubersrike i mean one of his lines is as follows: What a wonderful homecoming this turned out to be. You would only say that if you return home after a period of time to find your home under attack.

It's worth remembering that this isn't 40k, most people hold multiple gods, and some prefer one to another.

Kruber was born in Reikland but his family (aka his ancestry) came from a strong Talabecland lineage that brought their worship with them. Thus Taal is the primary God of worship for him.
