Background:
Poor Kruc'lok was born in the sewers of Calimport. His mother dumped him there, seemingly horrified that she gave birth to a Half-Orc. Apparently a sadistic mage of the Calimport Thieves Guild decided to charm a local waitress into sleeping with a mountain Orc slave and the rest is history......
The first person to find Kruc was a chemist performing illegal experiments in the sewers. For ten years his body endured random chemicals and proding tests but the Orc was surprisingly resilient. Even so, the torture did cause a few mutations and even a slight resistance to acid. Ironically, shortly after the chemist was murdered and pillaged by a group of Wererats who were members of the very guild that caused his plight to begin with.
A wererat blademaster by the name of "Maalla Grins" was about to put a dagger to Kruc but noticed an intelligence unheard of for his kind. This intrigued Maalla so he decided to take the boy in as a personal bodyguard and teach him the blade.
Four years later the guild was hired to watch two Orc tribes battle each other and take advantage of whoever won to steal the spoils. Kruc was mesmerized as he watched the ferocity of the orc's lay waste to each other. All he wanted was to join whichever side was winning and carve himself a path of glory. As both tribes called out to some One-Eye'd deity Kruc felt as if Gruumsh was calling out to him. As the bloodbone clan gained the upper hand the thieves guild moved in to assassinate the battered victors but it would not be so easy.
The ambush lit a fire within the bloodbone's and the Orc's fought back with a second wind that would crush any bandit's spirit. Kruc drifted on the outskirts of the battle clenching his face. He didn't understand where the confusion was coming from. This is the first time he didn't know who to kill. All he could hear was Gruumsh and Orcish battle cries. Kruc closed his eyes for what seemed like a second only to open them to his whitened knuckles clenching his blade and eight dead wererat companions all around him(unclear whether he killed Maala Grins).
The once again victorious bloodbones were impressed with Kruc's strength and after beating him for being a waterblood they decided to let him join the tribe. The next day Kruc saw a pack of forty wolves chasing a single sheep. He interpreted this as a sign from Gruumsh to wash over these lands with an army of Orc's and has been a devote follower of One-Eye ever since.
As the years rolled on Kruc's experience with combat grew. The bloodbone's were short lived but he jumped from tribe to tribe surviving each war with greater cunning and tactics. He even captured a Banite Dreadlord and learned to infuse himself with darkness along the way.
Despite being Half-Orc Kruc considers himself a pureblooded Mountain Orc and holds himself in higher regard then even the Gray Orc's of the land. He has seen the rise and fall of half a dozen Orc tribes(the Kogan's being his 7th tribe) and believe's they all fail due to a lack of a culling of the weak.
