Description: This man is very fat, and wears tan painted combat armor at almost all times. His auburn hair is greasy and uncared for. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

History: He was a bastard born out of an affair, and his father always resented and mistreated him for it out of spite. While he appears to be a normal Half-Orc, he's... not quite right.

Motivation: He is not mentally stable, and does not behave rationally.
