Gareth's father, Edric, came from a family of noble warriors in the Ulek states. A wonderful, knightly man, he was the pride of the Griffinshields: a young, attractive, strong, chivalrous man whose Suel/Oeridian ancestry gave him a gorgeous shock of red hair and extra height on an otherwise hardy Oeridian frame. When rumors of problems came in around Hommlet, he saw this as his opportunity for fame and fortune, and traveled to battle the horrors of the Temple of Elemental Evil.
It came as a surprise to everyone when he returned. Gone was the chivalry from before. Edric became morose, angry, and could no longer look at his old life with any sense of pride. He would never talk about his experiences at the Temple, but they clearly wounded him greatly.
Edric eventually left, and carved out a homestead for himself in the Pomarj deserts. The remainder of his life was harsh, and short. Edric eventually married, had four children, and died when Gareth was ten years old. What the Griffinshields will not reveal, is that Edric married an orc.
Appearance: Gareth has his father's red hair and fair skin, but his brutish features belie his orcish heritage. Edric brought him up to be a clean, upstanding person, yet the realities of the Pomarj, and his Pomarj mother have limited this development. Gareth understands the value of caring for those less fortunate than himself, but he does not have the sense that the entire gamut of gentility is worthwile. After all, his father threw all the gentility away.
Gareth is heading back to the temple for some answers. What is the world really like? Does gentility matter, or is the brutality of the Pomarj truly the better way to live? Why did his father abandon his heritage? Will Gareth abandon his? What is there to abandon?
I hope you guys have fun, I'm looking forward to this.
