Noble
(Adapted from the "iconic warpriest" Oloch from Pathfinder, which I play in Pathfinder Adventures card game.)
Background
About 110 years ago, after the apotheosis of Haplo and Falafel but before the Spellplague, there was great turmoil in the kingdom of Impiltur. The king had died and the land was thrown into chaos as various house lords vied for the throne. At the same time, a massive horde of ice orcs (a variant of orc previously unheard of in Faerun) had ravaged southward from the Great Glacier through Damara and into the northern reaches of the kingdom.
Impiltur was facing its darkest hour. Hither came Rek, the bastard half-orc son of the king's sister, who had been exiled by the machinations of his brother, the formal heir to the throne. Rek had spend much of recent time in the kingdom of Mulhorand, becoming a hero for his part in repelling the Cult of Set. The half-orc monk of Ilmater was nominally a man of peace, but in both Mulhorand and now Impiltur, his hunger for justice and righteousness was stronger. With the aid of his allies, Rek defeated the warring factions of his homeland and drove back the orc horde and was crowned the new king.
Ever since, the throne of Impiltur has been held by the descendants of Rek. While the orc blood of their progenitor continues to taint their noble line, but the House of Rek has proven itself time and again as stalwart champions of good and right in the world.
It is family tradition that each heir to the throne set forth from the kingdom and journey the lands as a wayward adventurer, much as their ancestor Rek did during his exile. Olog is now the heir. It is his time to set forth to earn his own name as a hero in the world, so that he will be ready to take on the family responsibilities when one day he too will ascend the throne of his father.
Description
Olog works hard to hide his royal heritage, a task aided by the fact that most common folk do not expect a half-orc to be highborn. He is a very large man with greenish skin and black hair. His armor appears somewhat haphazard, but is, in fact, in excellent condition. He bears a massive greatsword, one much larger than normal, with which he dispatches his foes in the name of Torm and the kingdom of Impiltur.
