 About Korseth of SquirestoneAppearance Korseth is a tall, muscular halforc with thick black hair. His body is adorned with tattoo's, some from his criminal past and others which mark him as a devotee of Sarenrae. He has come to terms with his past and does not seek to hide the marks of his misspent youth. Background Korseth was born in the small town of Squirestone, close to the border with the Hold of Belkzen. An unwanted half orc child, the product of a brief liaison between his hunter mother and orcish father, he was left with relatives to raise him. They didnt do a bad job but he wanted more and struck out to Vigil as soon as he was old enough to leave home, hoping to make his fortune. Early on he fell in with a bad lot and stooped to banditry and theft, preying on those newly arrived to aid Latwall's defence. It was while he was robbing the tent of a newly arrived crusader that his life changed. The owner, a half orc Paladin of Sarenrae called Hakith returned early and found Korseth in the middle of robbing him. He took the boy into custody and gave him a choice, he could turn him over to the authorities where he would almost certainly be hanged or he could take on the role of his squire. Hakith seemed to see something in the boy and Korseth took the only sensible choice, intending to run off at the first opportunity. Run he did, several times, and each time Hakith would find him and bring him back. Together they travelled Lastwall, the Hold and Ustalav, Hakith teaching the boy what he could. In time they became friends and Hakith brought him to his tribe, the Burning Sun, an orcish tribe dedicated to Sarenrae and committed to turning the orcs of Belkzen away from violent and destructive ways. Korseth was accepted amongst them and found a true home thee. He had been given a chance by Hakith and he would not let him down. He trained hard and eventually the two parted as Hakith continued his quest to oppose the return of the Whispering Tyrant and battle the Whispering Way. Recently Korseth has learned that his old friend has been captured by the Way. He fears he may be dead but has set out now to find him and stop whatever the Cult is up to. Defining Moment His inductiion onto the Burning Sun tribe and acceptance by Sarenrae. He atoned for his past and sought forgiveness and the chance to make up for his actions. He never expected forgiveness or to be accepted and was stunned when he was. Since then he has dedicated himself to helping the Burning Sun and trying to stop the orcs of Belkzen coming under the sway of the Whispering Tyrant once more should he ever return. What have you done to garner attention As a witch hunter Korseth has focused his efforts on dealing with powerful magicians who try and twist others to their own ends. He has clashed with demon summoning orcish shamans, scheming Razmirian priests and Urgathoan necromancers seeking to dig up Lastwalls many crusader tombs. He relishes the chance to hunt down a bunch of dangerous Whispering Way cultists. Stat Block:
