Two Axe
Age: 17
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 250
Eyes: Black
Hair: tan
Skin: black
Appearance: Dreadlocked black hair. Grey skin.
Personality: Two Axe is a perfectionist. He is serious and stubborn.
Background: ‘Two Axe’ has never had a real name. He grew up in the ‘Slow Death’ orc tribe inhabiting the Gnarley forest. He has no knowledge of his parents. Growing up, he was called ‘gray runt’; the orcs never let him forget his half-breed heritage. He grew up hating the orcs around him, who treated him with cruelty, exceeding even that which they showed each other.
All orcs embraced warfare, and the more powerful ones generally embraced a berserker culture of rage and power. ‘Two Axe’ rejected this, deciding instead to focus on controlling his emotions and mastering his martial skills. Few orcs could master their own prestige weapon, the orc double axe. The ‘Gray Runt’ decided he would master it. And he did. One day in the forest, in a skirmish with a long time enemy band of gnolls, the ‘gray runt’ killed two of the humanoid enemies and got a new name.
Though called Two Axe, he does not think of this as his name. He is troubled by the lack of a name, and searches constantly for a proper name. He was more intelligent than most of his fellows, and was able to get the shamen to teach him to read and write.
Despite his dissatisfaction with his life among orcs, ‘Two Axe’ might have stayed their the rest of his life. Then Jessica came. She was a captive, taken from a caravan near Dyvers. She wasn’t the first human woman captured by the Slow Death. But she was different to Two Axe. She was beautiful and helpless, and, if anything, younger than his own 17 years. He eyes flickered about her captives, finding no sympathy, until they met his. The moment their eyes first met, his life was changed. He knew the fate of human women captured by orcs, and he knew he had to act fast.
The morning after the raid, when most of the orcs were sleeping, having captured a fair bit of wine on the raid as well, Two Axe went into action. There was one other thing he wanted before he left camp. Its origins were unknown, but there was a finely crafted orc double axe in possetion of one of the subcheiftens. It was not closely guarded, and Double axe made off with it without difficulty. He then proceeded to the hut containing the human captive. He quickly slaughtered the two guards, seized the frightened girl, and fled into the forest.
It took them days to reach her home in Dyvers. They wandered in the forest, foraging for food, and fighting or fleeing from dangers. Jessica assured Two Axe that her father was a wealthy merchant, and that he would find a welcome home there if he returned her safely. Slowly, the girl came to trust the large half-orc. Their days of danger bonded them closely.
Sure enough, once they reached Dyvers, Two Axe was able to find the Almat trading house, which was owned by Jessica’s father Frendor.
Frendor was overjoyed to see his daughter, but distrustful of her savior. Two Axe knew little of city life. He had come to love Jessica, and she now returned his feelings. Her father wanted nothing of it. Though appreciative, he did not want his daughter to wed this half orc bandit. Frendor, therefore, hired Two Axe to get rid of the bandits who had been attacking his caravans. In gratitude, Frendor also gave Two Axe a magical Breastplate, and good adventuring gear. Frendor did want to get rid of the bandits, but secretly hoped they’d take Two Axe with them.
With help from Frendor’s sources, Two Axe tracked the bandits to their hideout outside Nulb, at the former Temple of Elemental Evil.
