Outcast: Foegrimm

[Eo Vew]

Deep in the Spine of the World Mountains, the Grim Skull tribe was amongst the fiercest and most savage of the orc tribes. The Great War Chief Kerguk Grimskull rose to power by the edge of his blade. The nearby settlements and nearby tribes both feared the Grim Skull equally, particularly their War Chief. Kerguk had four children, the eldest and largest of these being Bagrak. His daughter. Of all his offspring, only Bagrak rivaled his size. She also proved equally as potent in battle. Her brothers were jealous of her and had every intention of succeeding their father. During a pitched raid, Kerguk was challenged to single combat by a Northman and was defeated. Though respected for his victory, the Northman was taken prisoner. Challenges for power followed. Bagrak was staunchly opposed, being a female, but handedly defeated every challenger. In a fit of rage, her brothers all banded together and attacked her all at once. Bagrak moved the battle where all the tribe could see and crushed all three of her brothers, solidifying herself as War Chief. The shamans demanded she pass Luthic's blessings to the tribe, but none were worthy. Eventually, she gave birth. The shamans of the tribe were enraged to find her child was a half blood. It was quickly discerned that the child was fathered by the Northman who had killed mighty Kerguk. This crime would not go unpunished. Bagrak was captured and forced to watch as the Northman was sacrificed to Gruumsh and her son branded as a slave. In a rage, Bagrak killed as many of the offenders as possible, but was eventually overcome. Leaving her son as a symbol of her crime, to be punished and ridiculed mercilessly by the tribe.

Nearly beaten to death on a daily basis, once he was strong enough to fight, not a day went by there was not blood on his knife. He was raised as a savage animal and was unleashed upon their enemies during raids. He quickly began to favor the weapons used against his kin over the orcish blades he was given. Seventeen years to the day of the death of his mother, a shaman loyal to Kerguk, and in awe of what he had become, whispered into his ear the truth of his blood line, and who he was. The blood of his uncles ran cold on the ground by the next sun rise, and the half orc slave was gone. The only evidence of him left behind was the carved patch of skin that had branded him as a slave. From there, he raided, robbed and pillage anything and everyone he came across to survive, and thrive. He ravaged the Sword Coast until finally escaping to Arelith, avoiding the bounty hunters seeking him.

The bit in bold can be meta'ed. If you see Foegrimm, you may not know his name, but you have likely seen wanted posters of him on the mainland. He is a raider, and a bandit.
