Background: Quite exhaustive actually ; that orc seen a lot. Originally from the Thar, a broken moor streching hundreds of miles, He was captured very young near the old citadel of Xul Jarak , wich hides a passage to the underdark. He then escaped and through a series of unfortunate events he ended up on the sword coast rather then back home.

He lived there for a while , roaming the land and being severly beaten time an again for being a stray dog unwelcomed in the land of men. Until he found Kaltyra, a powerfull kindred that showed him ways to survive , where to find work and how to get into her tribe. For a time there was peace in this orc's hearth, but men would not have it so. Under constant opression from the Flamming First the tribe decided to moove to the Underdark. Gruk feared that place of slavery and stayed behind, alone.

Alone and desperate Gruk went into hiding deep in sharpteeth forest. He lived there for a while , among the mountain orcs. There he embraced Gruumsh and found faith for himself and his people in the saga of One-Eye. But his hearth ache for the wisdom and the might of other grey orcs like him. Determined to get back home, he set out to Durlag's tower and into the Underdark. His expedition was breif ; he was captured again by a drow raiding party while hiding out in a deep gnome comunity trying to find a guide back to Xul Jarak.

Brought back to Sshamath he was sold into slavery, again, but to a well known witch of the city of dark weavings this time. Beaten into submission , he now lives a servant to drows where hope , hearth and mind are utterly shattered by the chains of slavery.

Goals: Get the hell away from the drows, unfortunatly, his darksteel collar is magicly rigged to blow his head off if he's not back in Sshamath territory evry 5 cycles and the witch has runed his hide so that she can always scry him out.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Finding other orcs that have managed to escape the fury of men or drow. Freedom seeking in itself has many posibilities, as well as being re-sold to either a PC or NPC . For now, through his master, he is also linked to the 7th circle and the school of mages , who's members he's required to assist and obey when able , even against his will.
