Born from a captured Shoanti from the cinderlans among the Defiled Corpse Tribe, she was born as Gurka Fark-magath (forgehammer) and was an half-orc slave bound to be assist the forgemasters of the Fark-magath clan.
When a slave rebellion erupted in the clan the clan slaves were decimated as a reprisal. She along other half-orcs were crucified and pierced with rusty hooks and blades and left to die from fatigue exposure and infection.
Gurka wasted away due to infection and lingered between life and death as she experienced glimpses of the life beyond and visions of Charon welcoming her. she was left for dead as the clan moved camp and she eventually desperately struggled to free herself, horribly disfigured, mystically attued to the metal that caused her suffering and adopting a veneration for death itself.
she don a crude iron mask to cover her disfigurement and as the clan discovered the corpseless cross superstitions about the fate of the crucified one (Kruksoguurz in orchish) started to spread.
She eventually embraced the name "Kruksoguurz", managed to make her way to kaermaga where she lives through odd jobs and mercenary work.
