Background:
The origin of Imotep is dark and grim, his mother was captured by Human followers of Yurtrus, who were experimenting on the pregnant Aasimar with dark magic, trying to strip away the natural resistances brought about by the celestial power within her blood.
They believed that even if they were unable to eliminate her celestial resistance that they would instead be able to influence the child in such a way as to make it a vessel for disease that would itself overcome Aasimar blood.
Luckily their ambitions never came to pass as they were stormed by True Fury paladins who eradicated those afflicted followers and rescued their prisoners.
Unfortunately they were too late to save Imotep's mother, who life left her before she could be freed, but the life force of the child was sensed by a cleric in the party and she managed to save the baby.
Imotep's early life was spent at a temple of Torm where he learned to wield basic weapons.
Even though he was happy with his life at the temple, he couldn't help but feel a little aside from the rest, something within him prevented him from fully accepting the teachings of Torm and as such was unable to use any divine magic.
Lacking divine magic Imotep was encouraged to become a fighter and join the regiments of True Fury on the front line against evil, but his first and last mission with them showed him his true path.
On their way to meet up with a larger group of paladins for an assault on the undead in the Fields of the Dead, Imotep's party was ambushed and slaughtered by a group of Orcs, the last member of the party sacrificing his life to intercept a spear headed for Imotep.
Now alone with the Orcs Imotep's life seemed to have reached its end, that was until a force within him burst forth. Dark demonic energies lashed from his body, separating Orc from limb, until eventually all were dead.
He stood there amongst the field of corpses, not filled with despair at the loss of his companions, but with a new hatred of Orcs and the warm buzz of power, he knew he could not go back to the temple he called home, they would consider his "gift" abhorrent and would try to either take it from him, or end him.
Without looking back on the life he was leaving Imotep set out, to put his new skills to the test and enact destruction on those that would dare threaten him.

Goals:
Due to his past ordeals, Imotep seeks the destruction of followers of orcish gods and possess a great hatred towards orcs. He also seeks to form bonds with companions which can assist him, whilst hiding his desire for power from those who may attempt to hinder him.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Imotep's main ally is actually a Lawful Good Favored Soul named Kaladin, who wishes to stamp out evil in all its forms. Imotep does his best to hide his true nature from Kaladin, trying to appear instead as a sympathetic and good individual.
Later on this may come to a crux and the two friends might become rivals / enemies instead.
