History: He was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. While he appears to be a normal Half-Orc, he's... not quite right.

Personality: Deceptive and manipulative this eastern guy figured out how to best use his charms to convince people to do what he wants. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees.
