Backstory: Graloch grew up in the rough way that half orcs often do in society. He never knew who his father was. Once or twice when he was very little he asked his mother and she grew very angry with him. He learned not to ask. Besides people around him came up with all sorts of unsavory gossip about his mother. The young halforc didn't have any friends and he grew up fighting. He was always big for his age and when he beat up another kid (or group of kids), older and bigger kids would come to knock him and send him home bloody.
It was on one of these days walking home bloody did he find one of the guard waiting for him. The guard brought him to identify the murdered body of his mother. Some of the guard were coldly professional but a few others weren't so kind and told him that his mother was just another dead whore they found.
Now totally alone, the eight year old boy packed a small bag and left. For a brief time he lived in the woods and survived mostly by fishing in a swampy area.
While he first started hunting/killing the smaller crocodilians for food. He realized the hides could be useful. Eventually becoming good enough at tanning a hide or two, he came into the nearby village for the first time. He hoped to sell his hides and get some badly needed supplies. Young Graloch quickly learned how difficult this would be, not only for an orc blood, but a small skinny one wearing dirty and torn up clothing was even worse.
A large group of youths caught him on the way in. He did a little too well fighting back. Soon the gang of beaten youths turned into a mob of villagers. Graloch took a severe beating but stayed up.
Until a man struck him from behind with a maul. The crowd cheered as he went down. They thought him surely dead, but somehow the halforc lad got back up. However, he was on his last legs and the mob would surely be able to tear him apart soon.
At this point a traveler had been observing. She was quite impressed when the boy managed to get back up after the beating he took. She needed a thunder stone and a few smoke sticks to easily rescue the boy and get him away.
Graloc was taken along with the woman. He never learned her name, only calling her "mistress". He worked for her as a servant while she traveled. But when they finally reached a Red Mantis stronghold, Graloch's second life truly started.

The young half orc had been given very little kindness in his life. While he wasn't offered much kindness w/ the Red Mantis, he was offered a chance.

After years of training he excelled as an unarmed fighter and killer. He always carried a saw tooth saber but never used it in battle. Depending on the contract, he sometimes used it to open the throat or torso on an opponent after defeating them w/ empty hands.
