Background: Kruzak knows nothing his family only that he is alone in a world he doesn't belong. He is the last surviving member of his Tribe that was decimated by a group of over rightness Humans. For years he fended for himself out in the wild like an animal you would consider his almost like the Mountain Orcs except for that light in his eyes.

One day Kruzak bit off more then he could chew he had wondered into the den of a Dire Bear that wasn't to pleased to be woken up but was happy enough that someone brought him his food. After trying to fight this beast Kruzak had to fall back and decided to climb a tall tree to get away. Farther and farther he climbed and waited until the beast was gone, he felt safe and comfortable enough that he decided to stay up there for the night as he was tired from the day.

Little did Kruzak know that while he slept a storm close around him while the leaves of the tree was enough to keep the rain off him and thus not wait him up the lightning was another story. The young Orc awoke with a crash of thunder, he released his mistake exhausted from fight and running from the Dire Bear he slept in a violent storm high in the trees.

*Flash*
*Bang*

Kruzak felt a dull pain shot down his right arm and follow through till it dissipated at his left foot. Dizzy and a bit disoriented but overall ok he asked himself did I just get struck by lightning? Answered he was soon enough a voice spoke from out the storm.

First the wind spoke "So young orc you survived my lighning, whatever shall I do about this" followed by what would seem to be wind laughing.

Next the thunder spoke "If I where in worse mood or it just struck my fancy I would strike you with a thousand bolts just to see how many it would take for your body to give out, but I see something in your eyes a wisdom and understanding. While I know you lack intelligence you don't lack in spirit or strength."

The Wind spoke again "I shall grant you a gift, or to some a curse, you will see the world and understand it as strongly as your spirit."

Kruzak felt a spark in the back of his head that painfully worked its way to the front after a minute he felt words coming from his mouth as he spoke "Thank you Spirit of the Storm, but what do I owe you for this gift as nothing is ever given free"

It was the Lightning that Spoke this time "You owe me your life, I see purpose in your eyes that I shall guide, I will give you the words to speak to smite your enemies or give yourself strength. I will guide your strength with Natures Power, all shall fear you."

After years of being in the dark not understanding, he now felt that spark and knew it was worth more then his life. "I am your servant" he said to the Storm

Kruzak heard a voice down at the bottom of the tree "Come down here boy" it sounded like a Old Man. Down the tree he climbed until finally he saw what he heard and it was an Old Man, One eye had a patch over it while the other was empty but in the emptiness Kruzak could see Stars and Storms of the like. "I am Talos young Orc, the True God of Nature. You will follow my word and spread destruction throughout the realm if you should feel the need to belittle our agreement I will see fit that the earth will swallow you."

Kruzak knelled "I am forever your servant, guide me as you guide the storms and I shall unleash a fury unknown to the world."

Looking up the Old Man was gone, one would think that it was a grand dream but with Kruzaks gift he knew different. Gone was the days of wandering and acting as an animal in the wild.

Bound to Baldur's Gate he was....




*A Note From Kruzak to the readers*

"You may fear me and its with right but I am not without meaning, while my Nature be Chaotic I see no reason to kill you nor steal your good without what I deem a purpose. I will show you the True Light of the World, this meaning of good and evil...."



Goals: To show the other Races that Gray Orcs aren't the monsters everyone sees them as. To keep the balance of the forest, for what is light without darkness.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: A Special Chosen of Talos, Kruzak isn't the normal fearfull follower he is a leader of destruction.
