About Garold the Hunchback

Garold is a twisted, ugly little man with a good heart. His back is hunched badly and his face is malformed, but he's perceptive and quick of mind and body- though most underestimate him terribly.
life has always been a struggle for him- from his early, sickly days in the orphanage, to his daily struggle under a wicked boss.

The Life of a Freak

Garold's first memories were of the orphanage - the garden, as it was. He was never like the others, not even those unfortunate enough to be orphans, like him. Because of his appearance, Garold was picked on remorselessly, target of every cruel joke children are capable of. When he was younger, he was sickly, and not capable of responding in any meaningful way. He bears scars all over his body, from those days - but the worst of the scars are unseen.

He was always given the toughest jobs, and always had to struggle, but in the end, it served him well, as he outgrew his earlier illnesses and became strong. He never fought back, in those days.
