The son of a hedge mage who was captured by a tribe of orcs, Andern is the result. Fortunately his mother was rescued before being killed by the orcs. Because of his mother's status in the village Andern was accepted as a full member of the community. He has always thought of himself as human and because the villagers very rarely consider his mixed heritage, neither does he. His mother began teaching him magic at a young age, and he quickly progressed beyond what his mother could teach him. He set out towards Falcon Hollow in hopes of finding a wizard to help him continue his studies.
Because he was readily accepted in his village he has no idea of the racism most half-orcs experience. He may be in for a rude awakening as he ventures out into the world.
