--------------------
Karse was born to a human mother, the by-product of a rape during an orc raid upon a small village. Unwilling to accept the creature as her son, his mother abandoned him on the steps of a temple to Iomedae within hours of his birth. Raised by the temple, Karse never knew his mother. The priests were his parents, and the other orphans his siblings. Unsure what to call him, the temple denizens simply referred to him as "boy," but the other children, as children are wont to be, teased him with taunts of "cursed." Karse took this to be his name and soon began answering to it. The priests, in an effort to somewhat humanize the child, changed it to Karse.

Karse soon realized that he was different from the other children. Bigger and stronger than even the most rambunctious of boys his age, he was shunned by both the boys and girls alike. The boys were intimidated by his size and strength, while the girls considered him ugly. Karse did not take these reactions to heart, however. His was a gentle soul and he developed a strong bond with many of the stray cats and dogs that frequented the church.

One afternoon, when Karse was about 13 years old, a warrior came to the church. He was seeking a squire to serve as his valet. He needed someone strong and willing to work hard. Karse hid away in his room, fearful for what the stranger would think of him. After the warrior had looked over all of the children, he asked the priests if there were any stronger. bigger boys. Realizing that Karse was not among the assembled, the priests quickly fetched him. On seeing the boy, the warrior made his choice.

The warrior, whose name was Sir Clive Baverdeen of House Orlovsky, took Karse under his tutelage, making him his squire. Sir Clive was a holy warrior, a paladin. Karse learned quickly and soon enough became a strong warrior in his own right. When he came of age, he was sponsored by House Orlovsky and knighted.

Since that time, he has sought out opportunities to further the glory of his house and his deity. His current quest is to get enough gold to purchase a horse, tack, saddle, and lance. He looks the part of the knight, keeping his armor and weapons in pristine condition.
