The person is a brute, no question about it. I would prefer if illiteracy were gifted to these kinds of characters for role-playing reasons. 'is speak soundink like a g'd ork, jah. Grammeer n' spellink iz wut?The charisma equals to that of a badger, a bear or a troll. Since it is about getting your message through, the character most likely needs to illustrate his meanings physically to get them through. Think about an animal like a bear or a badger. A human can understand its general mood from the way it acts. Similarly the character has trouble conveying his meanings and is probably easily frustrated by this, leading to antisocial outbursts (not necessary violent). Da dingy wid da drag iz da boom, ya? Wut d'ya means ya' no gets it? DA FOKKEN BOOM!His wisdom is that of a lillend or an androsphinx. It seems likely that he is quite perceptive of the meaningful happenings around him and understands what is important. Like in the example above, he understands that a dragon's breath is something one needs to prepare for. The problem is that he has trouble conveying these ideas in a logic that is comprehensible to others due to his weaknesses.I could see him as a particularly repulsive ork from a human point of view. To a man, he is a beast: ruled by instincts and gut feelings but not affiliated with logic or working communication. Basically he's a bit below the average orc in these regards but makes up by being highly spiritual (although possible quite pragmatic about it) and perceptive.</blockquote>
