Mum died during childbirth, Dad (a dwarf) raised him, training him to wrassle and fight from very young age, taught him some languages and skills that he had, then sold him to an arena team owner in Raam to pay off some debts. Holdrus has gained some fame within the arena circuit, as he hasn't been killed yet, in mostly team battles using sneaky attacks with obsidian blades while flanking an opponent. He earned his freedom in a small uprising of his gladiatorial team that left the Team owner and handlers dead. Trying now to figure out how to make his way in the world.
UNLESS!!! The DM is starting us naked and planning to have us be part of the arena circuit to start with, in which case the "earned his freedom" part hasn't happened.....yet.

You are standing in a palace, before an enthroned woman possessed of unearthly beauty. Your skin has been scrubbed and polished to a bronze sheen, you filthy garments gone, replaced by luxurious silks. Your faithful sword hangs by your side in a jewel-encrusted scabbard of gold. The woman beckons you to her side, and you find yourself moving forward, almost floating, regardless of your own volition. Near enough now to smell the heady scent of myrrh about her, you witness her pulse quicken at your approach, diaphanous gown rising and falling in pace with her heart and bosom.

When she speaks, the world changes, and suddenly you hear colors, see sounds. You would willingly slay any other man who has heard this woman talk simply to keep their ears from sullying her perfection.

“My city weeps. Only you and your friends can restore the city to its former glory. Return me from the grey, Holdrus. The despot strangles the life from Raam, his laws are unjust, cruel, wantonly capricious in their treatment of the living.”

You find yourself seething with rage unbidden, full with despair at the injustice.

“Sirocco will guide you to the others.”

“I am Sirocco, the hot desert breeze. None can outrun me. I am pleased to be in the hands of such an experienced wielder. You have heard the words of The Lady. Together we will bring down the false sovereign of Raam and restore the city to greatness!”

“Now that I know I may trust you, we must act swiftly. Several of our compatriots, also wielding weapons of great and ancient power, were recently captured and no doubt tortured to death simply for pleasure. Our enemies seek to entomb the armaments once more, tipping the struggle for Raam strongly in their favor. My wielder was delivering important information regarding the stronghold using a decadent noble’s spa as a front business when he was ambushed and murdered. With his final act he sacrificed himself to keep me from their hands, and now you have found me!”

“If we can free them before it is too late, I’m sure your friends would make excellent wielders for these fearsome weapons.”
