Background:
Tall, wiry, more agile than strong. Karek Ulf-Klo (Wolf-Claw, in Skald) grew up on the outskirts of Averaka. Never the strongest of his kin or clan, he was far from weak, and he was agile and a natural leader. His childhood ended the day he injured the grandson of his town’s elder - Karek’s closest friend - while rough-housing after a day spent on the fishing boats. What was intended as a friendly shove nearly killed the other youth when Karek’s hands transformed into horrific claws for the first time.
Although his friend was quickly healed and forgave him for the accident, Karek was too ashamed to stay in Averaka. He took the name Wolf-Claw and fled for the anonymity Absalom at the great cities of the Inner Sea region. He tells people his magic comes from his family’s association with the winter wolves of the far north, but after consulting with Varisian fortune-tellers and even a troll auger in Kaer Maga, he knows he can’t escape the demonic taint in his blood. He has committed himself to Cayden Caelean in the hope that the Drunken God will not hold his ancestor’s sin against him, and has joined the Silver Crusade faction to prove to himself, if no one else, that neither his orcish heritage nor the taint of the Abyss will determine his fate.
