History
Pre-Campaign
Aldrun Slayer of Fiends, From his birth in his mother’s camp, she brought Aldrun up on traditional Orcish values such as the strength of family, and the glory of battle. In his teenage years he left to find his Human father as he felt he didn’t fit in with the other full-blooded Orcs and wasn’t as tough as them.
During his travels he found similar experiences in Human settlements, but unlike the Orc camp here he was the strongest and could do the jobs the common folk could not, eventually becoming a folk hero known throughout the local area as a trustworthy and reliable for dispatching beasts and fiends that threatened the settlements gaining his most prized possession, the title “Slayer of Fiends”, felling larger and tougher beasts seeking one to match him in his growing power, Aldrun also helped common folk with routine transport and escorts, taking favour in helping elderly gather firewood as harsh winters set in.
Because of his lack of intelligence and wisdom many sought him out as cheap labour or an easy target to overcharge, however his natural charisma and stature often helped when other saw the wrong doings and help Aldrun get a fair pay and price. Soon he gained his second most prized possession, Rebutter, a Sword of Greyhawk from a local artifact collector who fell ill and wanted to his collection to go to people that deserved them. With this sword Aldrun’s power grew further as did the fiends in his contracts but none unable to fell him.
A just over a decade had passed since Aldrun first left his camp, being unable to find his father, instead focussing on those he could find and help, and seeking a worthy opponent or beast to challenge him to have a glorious death if it were to come to it. Unfortunately, one fateful Autumn while travelling a remote path between two tiny villages a tree branch fell knocking Aldrun out, and in a turn of worse luck fell face first into a puddle of water where he drowned.
