[/sblock][sblock=Background]Jeriko was born and raised in the Shadow Marches, which was typical of half-orcs in Khorvaire. His race's propensity for strength meant that Jeriko would spend his youth doing hard labour. He bore no Dragonmark, and thus was dismissed as "just another grunt" in the daily workings of House Tharashk.
As he matured, Jeriko found that he actually enjoyed working with his hands. During the rare moments that he was not hauling, dragging, or pushing something, he spent his time studying architecture of the various races, secretly dreaming of a day when he might build his own home far away from the drudgery of the House.
Visitors from all walks of life came to House Tharashk in hopes of questing for dragonshards, or hiring skilled trackers to help find their lost items, and sometimes, lost people. Jeriko possessed no tracking skills, and no one seemed interested in training him. No, he was far too valuable as a laborer to spend additional resources on formal training. Jeriko was a patient man, and so he continued to dream as a means of escape from the drudgery of daily life.
During the construction of a new wing, an accident caused a stone wall to collapse, burying several potential clients who were visiting the grounds. Jeriko was quick on the scene and managed to free one of the victims, a half-elven warrior. In gratitude, the half-elf offered Jeriko a job as a bodyguard. Jeriko explained that he had no weapon training; the half-elf assured him that training would be provided, and then some. Jeriko cleared the new position with the House, and after some convincing (and coin), Jeriko was permitted to leave as a representative of the House.
The half-elf trained Jeriko personally in the warrior arts. Once Jeriko proved himself competent, he was then shown a rare technique which, the half-elf explained, was normally reserved for elves and their ilk. The half-elf had no love for his elven heritage or traditions, favoring instead the opportunistic nature of his human blood. The half-elf felt that, as a half-breed, Jeriko should be given the same opportunities as himself. Jeriko was shown how to combine the warrior arts and the study of the arcane, becoming a Duskblade by trade.[/sblock][sblock=Personality]Jeriko shares many similar personality traits as his orc heritage - gruff, terse, and a bit temperamental. This is not because he is simple - quite the opposite, in fact. Jeriko feels that no effort should be wasted (as he feels that his youth was largely wasted on menial tasks) and has little patience for people who squander his time and energy. He is not reckless; he will take the time to plan a proper strategy before acting on an endeavor. His specialty in polearm fighting stems from the thought that keeping an enemy at length is a good way to stay alive; make the enemy come to yourself, where you dictate the terms of the combat. Despite his harsh past, he still has a passion for construction and still longs to create his dream home - or castle.[/sblock]
