The character doesn't know/believe that he's a tiefling, and thinks he's human.  He is more of a flim-flam man, who pretends to be a high level arch mage.  I'm playing him pattered after Vance's Cugel.  (Note: I noticed at one point recently someone posted this exact same childhood background story on the boards as a plot device.  I've been playing this character for almost a year, so tht was well before this post.)a halfelf sorcerer/druid.  I'm a half elf that was raised by an orcish shaman.  I think that I'm actually a half orc, and I compensate for this by being a true macho orc.  Note: I'm really physically weak, so this doesn't work very well for me.  I've currently been kicked out and sent on a walk-about by my mentor to discover my true nature.  I play him as a combination of Worf and B-5's Zathras with a fish out of water theme.</blockquote>
