Background:Zareth was born into a nomadic tribe of orc raiders who ravaged the many small towns of the north. as a half orc born from a human mother and an orc father, he was looked down upon in his tribe and was often taken on raids to help collect things or get into places the other orcs couldnt fit into.
He was with a small raiding party when decided to attack a a small group of travelers heading south. The group had no warriors with them, it seemed like it would be an easy kill. the raiders charged out of woods on the travelers flank Screaming and waving weapons in the air in typical orc fashion, and all the travelers ran the other way. Except a a bearded old man wearing a wide brimmed hat and modest loose clothing.
The orc leading the charge thought he would just run over the old man... but he was wrong, right before the orc reached the old man he jumped to the side and delivered a quick and incredibly hard kick to the side of the orcs head, killing him instantly. Zareth watched from behind a rock as this happened and gasped as the man easily dispatched the rest of the raiding band. When it was done zareth didn't know what to do.. so he did what he thought any orc would do and ran at the old man with a knife drawn!
The old man chuckled softly as the young half orc ran at him, he quickly disarmed him and after a while of being held down, zareth stopped struggling. The other travelers bade the old man to kill him, But the man saw potential in this young half orc and wanted to raise him. Due to the mistreatment of the tribe zareth decided to follow the man.
their relationship grew to that of father and son and zareth strove to do his best for the old man. They wandered faerun for years, the old man teaching zareth along the way. They fought bandits and raiders and helped people in need along the way.
After 14 years the old man was dying and he and zareth went to the sword coast, to candlekeep to lay him to rest. After his fathers death, zareth continued to wander for the road was the only place zareth felt at home. after a few years of wandering alone, zareth returns to the sword coast, unsure of what tommorow is going to bring or where hes going to go next/
Goals:To master the arts of a monk as his master did, and to promote justice and protect the weak
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:Zareth is well aware of the stereotypes held against his kind and tries to prove that half-orcs can me much different then full orcs. hes also become fond of the teachings of lathander and respects them deeply.
