He was born of a Half Orc mother, and baptized after his human grandparent, a pirate of doubtful taste for women. His mother was, as its usual in this cases, fruit of a rape. But among Orcs, Half Orcs are despised. She was hated by the raped granmother, and cast apart.
So it was that His mother, out of the human part of her heart, developed a romantic idealization of her criminal father. Out of this, came a reveration for all that was human, which wasn't particularly helpful on the social issue she already suffered from her heritage.
Out of this isolation, she got involved with the only other Half Orc in the tribe. Who after impregnating her, ran away and, allegedly, took to adventuring in order to provide for his new family. He never came back.
Thus, He grew up as a poor, fatherless Half Orc in the outer borders of the tribe. To make matters worst, he looked almost human, but in height and build. His face hinted his half-bred origin, but his skin was almost pink, with only the slightest grey hue. His teeth did show, giving him a feral look, but his nose was straight, his eyes human. And he was smart and almost talkative. Maybe more than the average man. Definetively above his neighbors.
